SALUTING THE FLAG.
SCHOOLMASTER'S LIBEL CASE.
DIFFICULT PUPILS.
Mr. Alfred Valentine Baraclough, living at Howard-road, Waltham- stow, and headmaster of Goodall Toad School, Leyton-stone, E., which is under the Leyton Borough Council, brought an action for alleged libel against thirteen of eighteen persons who had signed a petition to the council in which it was alleged that, he had led children to believe that the national fing was not worth saluting.
in the petition com- The words plained of were:
"We wish to protest to the education authorities against the action of the headmaster and head- mistress of Goodall-road School in preventing on Empire Day in May 1997 the salating of our national fag, and of their general conduct, leading the children to believe our national flag was not worth the salute. --We,” the undersigned, beg the authorities to take measures to prevent and punish disloyal con- duct on the part of teachers, and that the authorities will at once make inquiry into the above matter at Goodall-road School.".
Served In The Army.
Mr. Melville, K.C., said that be- fore the war Mr. Baraclough was in the Royal Garrison Artillery and the Territorials, and when war broke out, although over service age, he volunteered and served abroad.
Some complaint was made by a member of the council at a meeting of the education" committee, and the chairman wrote to Mr. Bara- clough informing him of the com- plaint. Mr. Baraclough replied that it was untrue to say that there was no celebration of Empire Day. Specially prepared lessons were given in every class, and he ad dressed the school on the subject. of Empire.

FILM ACTING WITH SIR E LAUDER.
FISH SALARY FOR TEN STARS.
Loxrón July sich: In reply to an advertisement stating that Sir Harry Lauder wanted 50 assorted cats to net with him in a film now being made at the Stoll studios at Cricklewood, N.W., 67 people with a cat each were waiting in a quene outside the studios yesterday morning.
Sir Harry interviewed the cats. There were Manx cats, tabby cats, Persian cats-gazing rather cog- temptuously at thin black strays from the London streets-and one stuffed cat with an erect tail.
The ownerя
were told by Sir Harry that they would get " half- a-croon each for the loan of their cats if they were genuine pets, and had not been grabbed in the streets with the object of making a little money. He dismissed the stuffed cat and engaged all the rest, Work began at once.

MISSING MAJOR.
FOUND DEAD IN FOREST.
SOUTHAMPTON.
With regard to a complaint of The mystery of the disappear removal of royal portraits, he ance of Major RJ. H. Purcell stated that the portrait of the King from the Compton Arms Hotel, and Queen had become very soiled, Stony Cross, near Lyndhurst, and that there was no portrait of Hampshire, was solved when his Queen Alexandra in the school body was found in the bracken in the depths of the New Forest about" 1 miles from Rufus Stone.
when he took "charge of it.
The education committee was satisfied with 'his answer, and the following year (1927) he carried put the Empire Day arrangements in precisely the same form, and the petition of which complaint was made was got up.
Mr. Baraclough, în evidence, said he had never led children to believe the national fing was not worth saluting.
Cross-examined by Sir Walter Greaves-Lord, K.C., M.P,, for the defence, Mr. Barnclough said the nature of the Empire Day celebra- tions at the school before his ap- pointment had been over-rated. Never once while on parade in the army was the Union Jack saluted or was be called on to anlute it.
Teachers In Court,
Mr. Justice Swift asked if the school was closed, as half the scholars and all the teachers seemed to be in court.
A revolver was by his side and he had a shot wound in the face. An inquest will be held.
Major Purcell arrived at the
Compton Arms Hotel a week before and did not return from a walk on the following day. A thorough search of the district was made by mounted men, dogs, and the vil Jagera, but the bracken in the forest was very thick. The major apparently had been dead for about a week.
there was a kind of mutiny. The boys decided among themselves they were not going to sing these patrotic songs.
Asked what patriotic songs weru sung in the school now, Mr. Par sons said the boys had lately been practising the "Soldiers' Chorus " from "Faust."
