My old school was over one hun- dred and twenty years old and was principly a boarding school, whilst Wingham is a day school, There were about one hundred and twenty pupils and a teaching staff of ten, then of course, a matron, nurse, kitchen maids, cooks and gardeners, It was a co-educational schoo,L, like Wingham is. Our grades were called forms or classes, with about fourteen pupils in each class. The subjects taught were arithmetic, geometry, algebra, geography, history, English, art, 6 lan- guages, science, cookery for the girls and carpentry for the boys. For games we had rugby cricket, hockey, tennis, also P.T. (Physical Education) and swimming. For recreation there was a chess club, a camera club, meccano club and you4g farmers' club. There was an old swimming pool in the grounds. Two afternoons a week we were allowed to go into the town, but YOUR FUTURE depends oh them Don't be hindered in your work by tbs "nerves", headaches and gastric disturbances resulting from defective vision. The only safe plan is to have your eyes examined at least once a year, It'S the smallest invest- ment you can make—arid the soundest. Do it now. W. R.

We always hoped some parent would come as It meant a good meal as well as the cinema (movies.) The harbor came to school to cut hair, The days were full-starting at 7 a. m, we made our beds, washed, break- fast at 8 a.m. Then perhaps roll the pitch for cricket—we all then collect- ed for prayer at 8,50, taking it in turns to read the Bible passage, Lessons be- gan at 9.10. There was a break at 11.10 for milk, bread and butter (or some- thing nicer from our (tuck box.) Din- ner at 1.10 then lessons or games. Tea at 5,15. At 6.00 pan. we all gathered to- gether again to do our homework (we called it prep:), under supervision of a master or a mistress. Two hours us- ually, four periods of half an hour each, Those taking music would then dash off to practice. Supper was just a scrap affair of milk or cocoa, and bread and butter, plus what we had in our tuck boxes once again. Bed was at hours according to age, we envied the older ones as they did not have to go until perhaps 9.30 or 10,00 p.m. My dormitory had twenty boys and we had fun but were not supposed to talk after lights out. The school year consisted of three terms—Xmas, Easter and Summer. A month's holiday over Christmas and at Easter, and ten weeks in the sum- mer. The school took the pupils through to college. At Christmas we presented plays—' making most of the costumes and all the scenery by ourselves. Usually the play was by Shaw, Dickens or Shakes- peare, with a comedy also. ,We gave the collection to a charity chosen by the pupils themselves. All the parents came and the hotels in the town were full. In Wingham High School the pupils move from classroom to classroom foi each period. We stayed in one room and had one desk for the whole year. The teachers moved around instead to various classes. We had a pet's cor- ner—mostly guinea-pigs and rabbits, also a piece of garden each when we started botany. Prizes were given once a year for the best garden. The girls almost always won the prizes. We hardly ever saw snow and of course we did not 'have skating at all. We enjoyed -a film in the winter, also an occasional ,,tdanee in the gymnasium room On Sundays we all had to attend a char& service, also a service in school 'at 7:00 7iv.m. R.
