SENIOR MASTER'A · "REFLECTIONS.
Mr. H. O. D. Davidson, the Senior Master at Harrow, retired at Easter, our years short of the jubilo of his connection with the school, to which he went as a boy in 1987 and as Master in January, 1878.
To a representative of a London con- temporary Mr. Davidson pointed out how greatly the lot of the Harrow boy had improved in regard to material posses- sions.
HOW HARROW HAS IMPROVED,
In my day there was no 'gym.,' fow fives cours-four, I believe; now we have thirty-no Speech Room, the Chapel was smaller, the football fields and cricket grounds were quite inadequate to size; cover-point in one game would find him- self in the position of short-leg in another and mid-on in a third. It was wonderful that there were not more accidents. Immense additions have been inade to our buildings and school-estate. 'Ducker' has been doubled in size, parade grounds and a running path have been provided-we used to run the mile on the Pinner road-a music school and art school have been built; and this list in not comprehensive. What must be em phasized is that this whole growth was possible only because of the generosity of Old Harrovians,

This would sut free what they derive from the school fees for educational purposes."

account loses nothing in the translation which, says the correspondent of The Standard, was made for a New York paper, which reads as follows:
It was a cold and foggy October even ing....The cohort's commander called the only junior officer in his cohort, who had just celebrated his eighteenth birth- day, and repeated to him the colonel's command as follows: "The Junior officer, at all costs, must crawl through the enemy's first posts And learn the onemy's power and disposition, and in! this way facilitate the task of his regiment, which is to attack the well- fortified positions onhill in front of Adrianople. We will give you at your disposal, two companies, the ones whose commander you are. The command must be carried out conscientiously this very evening

always seemed to have prepared any amount, and had a remarkable command of language as well as accuracy of scholarship. We knew that Dr. Butler enjoyed his construing so much that he simply would be unable to take him off and put on another boy to blunder and hesitate and murder Virgil with his atrocious, bald commonplace English."
HARROW AND NATURAL SCIENCE.
Asked as to changes in methods of teaching that have taken place at Harrow in the last fifty years. Mr. Davidsen made special reference to the fact that the study of Natural Science-now very successful part of the curriculum- "There was just beginning in his day. was no Modern Side; and later, when the Modern Side was instituted, only hoys who were good at modern subjects could get into it. As for teaching of English, I never had a lesson on the subject, and hardly any in History."

VOLUNTEERS ALL.
All advanced two steps, as if one man. I was not doubting it, continued the junior officer, tears brimming from his eyes, but I need only ten persons, and
I will come.
Take me!
I want to go! Voices were heard from all parts, interrupting the speech of the young cominander.
You cannot come all let ten persons, those who speak Turkish well, come out from the right Asuk, also the company's corporal |
The positions on the hill, which over- looked the village of Urush, were thus taken. Next day the young junior officer was promenading in the Balgarian camp with lieutenant's straps and the St. George's Cross for valour on his breast.

Liverpool has long since made good its claim to be the centre of the Insurance world: there are few of its institutions in which the average citizen takes deeper pride than the London and Lanca- shire Firo Insurance Co. The report we publish to-day is an apt illustration of the misquotation "Happy is the company which has no history. remarkable nor even outstanding features. simply a record of steady and satis factory progress in all departments. Despite the increased competition which modern business methods have brought, the London and Lancashire more than holds its own. Despite the wet summer last year and a wet bummer is always unfavourable to fire insurance-fire premiums inéreased by £38,150 and with all necessary deductions made there was areal, underwriting surplus, on this account alone, of £223,685-nearly 14 per cent of the premiums. accident accounts are both well up. The marine business was only begun in 1907- yet it shows a profit of £33,080. accident account, started in 1901, shows a profit of £59,993 For the rest one sees, as expected, the usual sound and con- servative financial policy. In accordance with the good tradition, there are sub- stantial sums put to reserve this now standing at £3,017,300, or 123 per cent. of premium income; while £50,000 is written off-£40,000 for depreciation of Stock Exchange investments, and £10,000 The chosen ten ran eagerly towards the for Buildinge and office property."
