CNADIN STAESMA. EOWAPAGE . OTART e Lovely Enniskillen Wedding great cathedral cities, the Eng- lish countryside, with its hedges and dark 'moving streams. Thel great number of flowers impress- ed Miss Coucb as being one of the most beautiful sights in the country. She feit very near home one day. wben a group of teachers went ta visit the fishîng towns of Whitby and Pickering. On an- other day tbey visited the ruins of Fountain's Abbey, wbere there were snawdrops, even though it was still the middle of Febru- ary. This was the only time, too, that M1iss Couch saw much snow in England. After the snawdrops corne cro- j cuses, daffodils and hyacinth. In Bedford, the daffodils grow nat- urally, and this particular week- end they were at their best. (Her excellent description of the daf- fodil-covered hillside put one in mmnd of Wordsworth's poem, "'The Daffodils"). Everywbere could be seen primroses. In May came bluebelîs and wild hyacinth. In June the famous English roses are blooming, and everyone in the country takes special pride in those beautiful flowers. Variety of Scenery The English scenery can vary greatly in just a few miles. Dev- on soul is red, with very green hedges, and unusually green grass. Then a iittle farther on are bigh, bleak, lonely moors, where there is bardly any life except the sheep which graze on the lonely heather-covered bilîs. Upon leaving Exeter, the teach- ers crossed a moar, which kept getting higber and mistier, until they camne ta Princeton, wbich bouses a famous English prison, and is the highest spot in Eng- land. The wbole place struckl Miss Couch as the most lonely,j gloomy, depressing place she had1 ever seen. Then on ta Cornwall where the coasts are rocky and beautiful an d sumrner resortz nestle in the Ma. AND MRS.

Miss Phyllis 'R. Challs, A.T. '.M., I.C.H.B., R.M.T., bas jusi eturned from, Buffalo, New 'ork, where she attended the [ans Barth Music Teachers' ourse. Miss Challis bad the ionour of being the only Canad- an teacher attending the course. Ur. Barth is an outstanding merican musician being a cam- )oser, soloist and teacher. He is irenawned concert pianist hav- ng given over 500 recitals in ,ariaus cities of America and ,urape, including recitals in 'mous Carnegie Hall, New'ýYork. e bas aiso been soloist with the 3hilharmonic Orchestras of Cin- nnati and Philadeiphia.

The Hill of Difficulty mentioned in the book is found nat far from Bedford, and the teacher certainly agreed with him an that point after she had had ta push ber bike up the hilI. Different Educational System Next she proceeded ta give a brief description of the Education- ai System in England, which is very different frorn ours. In 1944 an Educational Act was pass- ed that changed the Educational System, and it is stili changing now. To pay the cast of school. ing. Central Authorities pay a littie more than bal! and the rest is paid locally. Universities, In- dependent Schools and others are outside the jurisdiction o! the ministry, and are paid by fees or endowments. State schools are run by the government, and no fees are needed from parents for these. There are nursery schools for cbildren of the ages from 2 to 5, but these are only in a few centres. Frorn the age of five on, education is compulsory. There is an infanit school for children from ages 5 ta 7, and then four years of junior school. Children are not promoted byj ability, but by age, spending one year in each standard. After junior scbool there are scholarship exams, then Second- ary Grammar Schools wbere ai academic educatian is given. Some students may go ta Tech- nical Schools or Secondary Mod- erni Scbools. Often cbiidren re- ceive their meals àt schooi, and even though they aren't as good as aur Canadian meals, they ar( sametimes better than the ones the children would . receive at home. English children are strong and healthy, well looked ly London e- Since London was only a little t-over an bour's distance from Bed- S. fard, much of Miss Couch's free t time was spent there. She visîted It the Houses of Parliament, and ie saw famous aid Big Ben. She ýr saw beautiful Westminster Abbey with its lovely glass rose win- e dows and its Henry VII Chapel. ,a She also visited Buckingham Pal- it ace, the London residence of the ;t King and Queen. 1- Garden Pa.rty ff Upon receiving an invitation to e one of the Royal Garden Parties, dMiss Couch said, "I certainly wasted no time in replying." Or the afternoon of the party, promptly at four o'clock, the Na- etional Anthemn was played, and ethe Rayai Party entered the gar- -den. The party consisted of the King and Queen, Princess Mar- sgaret, the Duke and Duchess ai Gloucester. The Queen was wearing a rosy pink shade ai printed material. Princess Mar- garet, who is very tiny. was wear- ing a tight-fitting jacket, tur- squoise in colaur, and a white skirt. The Duchess was dressed in yel- law. After tea was served, the fRoyal Party stood under a can- opy and shook hands with every- one as they were presented to sthem. Promptly at six, the Na- tional Anthern was again played, and they left. Famous Tower of London The next place Miss Couch mentioned visitifiR was the Tow- *er of London, built during the time of William the Conqueror. >Around this tower are six or .seven ravens, and the legend goes that if these birds ail die, the tower will fali, and so, will *the wbole of Britain. Consequently, these ravens bave their own meat ration, and are given the best of care. The centuries-old ceremnony of ithe keys does not fail ta irnpress 1ail those watcbing it. The Chief iWarden in the dress of the Beef- Eater, in a long red cloak, carnies an aid lantern in one band, and a bunch of keys in the ather, and ialang with four or six soldiers, ihe forms the escort for the keys, as he cornes along the dimly-lit, eerie passage at exactly 9 minutes ita 10. He goes wîth the sentry ta the outer gate, which he locks and boîts, then ta the middle tower, which he alsa lochs and boita. Then the group cornes ta the "Bloody Tower" in which many unlucky prisoners bave ]ost their heads in past centuries. As he approaches. a voice says. "Who cornes there" The answer: "The Keys." Question: "Whose keys?" "King George's keys."1 #"Advance, King George's keys. All's well."1 In the inner courtyard is a guard. The warden raises bis bat. "God preserve King Geor- ge's keys." The soldierq then repeat Amen, and the last post is sounded as the dlock strikes ten. London Parks There are many parks in the centre 0f London, that caver acres of ground. AIl are wel kept, and on afternoons and Sun- days, crowds of people can be seen out strolling. Hyde Park corner, which is famous for its soap-bax orators. was flot missed by Miss Couch. She said that the many hechiers of these orators anly make list- ening more interesting. The pol- ice only intervene when the scene gets too heated. One particular man wbomn she noticed was speaking one Sunday in February on behalf of the Con- servatives, and carrying an in spite Of stiff Opposition fromn hecklers. Again, one Sunday in early summer, the same man was in the same place, but this timne the subject of bis discourse was "Why a man should love bis wife."p More Than Just London ]But there is more ta England than just London.

Plynm4outh in. 1620. Id Chrstmas in Switzerland d At Christmas, Miss Couch went e to Switzerland, the guest of Dr. ýs and Mrs. George Miller, who have ýt recently returned ta Bowman- e ville. Geneva, she said, is a ci beautiful city, but you need a great deal af money. Everything Swiss is supposed to be perfect, eand the people make the best of the tourist trade. Wbile with the Miller's she visited Chamoni, in France, at the foot of Mt. Blanc. Another day she had lunch at the League of Nations Building. Sh.ook Hands With The Queen Back in Eng]and, ail the Ex- change teachers were invited ta a Garden Party given by Lady Astor, and were presented ta the Queen. "T2his was the most thrill - ing event of the whole year," said Miss Couch. "The trouble1 was that it was ail over too soon.' That day the Queen was dressed in blue, with a coat and hat of the same colour, and gray plat- form shoes. The things about her that impressed Miss Couch the most were ber beautiful blue eyes, and ber soft, clear voice. Miss Cou~chs prize possession is a picture of herself shaking hands with the Queen. The whole Gar- den Party was lovely and ail the teachers were thrilled. Letter From Miss Dawton Miss Couch finished by telling of the lovely letter she received fromn Miss Dawton, the English teacher wha took ber place here, sayiiig that she had arrived home in England safely, and wished ta! be remembered toalal the friends and teachers in Bowmanville. Teacher Thaaked On behaîf of aIl the audience Mrs. Cale thanked Miss Couch very much for ber eduicationa and interesting talk of ber time in England. The President announced that the next meeting will be at the Ontario St. School, with Mrs. W., Clarke in charge of the program. After the National Anthem xvas sung, Mrs. Cale and group had charge of the lunch. Courtice H. & S. Club' Plan fail Program At the opening meeting of the Courtice Home and School Associ- ation on Sept. 12 two of the teach- ers were present and gave an in- teresting and informative talk on the work heing done in the lower grades of the school.
