BOYS’ HIGH SCHOOL

J. K. LAING DUX OF SCHOOL

DR HERCUS ON DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENTS

Some stress on tho advantages of modern educational methods was laid last night by the speakers at the annual , prize-giving ceremony at tho Otago Boy's’ High School. Mr W. K. Brugh, the chairman of the Board of Governors, reviewing the work of tho year, stressed two points that were particularly pleasing. The first was' that there was this year hardly a boy in the school who could not swim; the second, the increasing use that was being made of the school library. > He referred to the deaths during the 1 year of a number of old boys. It was inevitable, in a school of that age, that this should bo so. - He mentioned particularly the passing of Mr G. C, Proudfoot. who had given £1,250 for scholarships to the school, with an equal amount to the Girls’ High School, also Mr-A. Y. Smith, who for 14 years from 1877 had been a master at the school. DR HERCyS’S REMARKS. “ It is not necessary to look at the very impressive honours list to appreciate what the old boys of the school have done for the community in general.” said Dr (J. E. Hercus, Dean of _ the Medical Faculty of the Otago University, who addressed the boys. “ They are in the forefront of things not only in New Zealand, but in the British Empire, and they are creating’a great record to live up to. I am sure you will do so.” He had found it both pleasant and stimulating to work with those old boys of the school who had passed through his hands. Dr Hercus instanced two cases, one of a man who was now in the forefront of plastic surgery, "and another, whose work in brain surgery was outstanding. “ But in all walks of life you will find old boys, doing their jobs to the best of their ability, and no man can do more.” MODERN EDUCATION. A pleasing trend ‘was the very great emphasis that was placed to-day in modern education on the arts generally and on the physical side. He wished to congratulate the school on not “ carrying on the old tradition ” of playing only Rugby and cricket. It was a good thing to include in the sports programme such games as hockey, Soccer football, and tennis. The grounds of the school, however, had been described as the worst _ in the Dominion, He felt that this was a challenge, particularly to old boys. ADVANTAGES OF TRAVEL. “ If I could have the powers of one of these wretched dictators I would insist that every boy and every girl should have at least six months’ travel in foreign countries,” Continued Dr Hercus. Travel gave a stimulus to the whole being., The traveller on his return saw evidences of backwardness, but it was good to come home again. He could see, then, what a heritage he had in his own country, culturally, and from the point of view of the land itself. Most valuable was the contact that brought understanding and sympathy with the peoples of other countries. -Dr Hercus went on to give some sidelights of his" recent travels in the other hemisphere. . The Tennessee Valley Administration; set up by" the Now Deal in America, had a wonderful lesson for New Zealand. It had faced enormous problems, flood which affected 650 square miles of country, denudation which had destroyed a million acres of farm land and left _ a further seven million uneconomic, malaria which ravaged the countryside. The valley bad been crying out for some constructive move. The New Deal had made it, building dams which supplied power and cheap phosphate. Afforestation terracing and cover crops had been utilised to combat the erosion. This was a lesson to New Zealand,, where the recent destructive floods could also be traced to the ruthless cutting down of forests, the removal of -Nature’s blotting paper. Another lesson could be gained from the Citizens’ Construction Camp scheme. , Three tiiousand camps, each containing 200 boys, made work for them, right away from the towns, in beautiful surroundings. The educational programme of these camps was magnificent, one of the most significant experiments in education not only for America, hut for the whole of the democratic world, making strong and able citizens, keen to take their place in the flow of life. These camps bore features similar to Hitler’s youth. camps, but with none of the objectionable ones. Here was another suggestion for New Zealand. If our youth could have six months in such camps, getting close to Mother Earth, it would be a wonderful thing. A description of the Lingiad held in Sweden last, mid-summer rounded off tho speaker’s remarks. “We had a vision,” he said, “ not only of modern physical education, but also of what the future might hold. These young men of all nations, breaking barriers, finding friendship and understanding, were finding a way to international solidarity.” Political and economic barriers wore making this most terrible barrier that now lay between us and German youth. “ These last months have been a terrible personal disappointment to me. But the future is largely in your hands. Carry the tradition of active citizenship—learnt at school—into all the branches of life. A passion for perfection should be the guiding star.” A GOOD RECORD. To James Kenneth Laing the distinction of becoming dux of the school is a milestone in a career which has already proved more than ordinarily successful. He received his primary education at the Maori Hill School, where he proved himself very able. At the High School he was captain of the hockey team, captain of the second eleven at cricket, and twelfth man for the first eleven. In the cadets he proved himself a really good n.c.0.; he is a good speaker and was a prefect of the school. With the duxship goes the Board of Governors’ gold medal, the Dux Association book prize, and the Brown memorial prize. In other avenues he obtained the Alexander Wilson memorial prize for the best all-round boy. the Wanganui Old Boys’ prize for debating, and the second prize for Shakespeare reading, which was donated by Mr H. Chapman. Chamber of Commerce prizes were presented by Mr J. S. Skinner. Mr J. D.' Fletcher moved a vote of thanks to the rector and staff and the Board of Governors, and the rector, Mr H. P. Kidson. replied. During the evening items were given by the school choir and the orchestra.

ST. HILDA'S COLLEGE The annual. break-up and prize-giving ceremony at St. Hilda's College was held last night, Bishop Fitchett presiding. The annual report covering the year’s activity in all departments of school life was presented by Miss D. G, Blackmore, and the prizes were presented by the mayoress (Mrs A. H. Allen). , The mayor (Mr A. H. Allen) addressed the gathering, and extended his congratulations to the school on its completion or another successful year. “ The school was founded in 1896 by the late Bishop Neville, stated Mr Allen, “ and for 35 years conducted by the sisters of the church, whose headquarters are in London. Since 193 t, the school has been controlled by a board of governors, under the Bishop of Dunedin. During the past 43 years a tradition has been steadily built up, which must not only be prized, but added to by present and future teachers and scholars. Ihe tradition that will grow around this school will depend on how the pupils think and act, Each pupil must do her utmost to learn all she can, so that after leaving school she may prove efficient 1 in her life’s work. “ The true aim and object of education, continued the speaker, “is to develop character. In this connection, it is be ter to have second-class brains and a firstclass character, than to have first-class brains and a poor character. A school should be judged, not only by its discipline and the knowledge gained by its pupils, but more particularly by their character when they reach adult age and motherhood. It was Abraham Lincoln, who said; ‘ All that I am and all that I hope to be, I owe to my mother.’ Napoleon cnee asked Madame de Stael what he should do to improve the condition of life for the people of France. She replied: ‘lnstruct the mothers for the social and moral elevation of society.’ Recently, Her Majesty the Queen said: ‘We women must maintain the better qualities of womanhood. Here it is true to say that the character of a nation is largely dependent on the character of the homes and the * family life of its people, and particularly upon the training and discipline of the young. These facts point to the supreme importance of the right education and training of our girls.” The following was the prize list:— Standard I. —Divinity: Louise Harris. Drawing: Patricia Wilhelmsen.
