À GREAT "CALAMITY."

A plea for greater opportunities for social life in schools and Universities was made by Dr. Tem-

ple, the Archbishop of York, in his presidential address at the an- nual meeting of the Classical As- sociation at University College, Hull.

"The social factor in our educa-

tion," Dr. Temple said, "will count

for much on the human side, and, where this is strong, an almost exclusive concentration on acienti fie study may be harmless, or even beneficial.

"But we have seen spring up a great number of secondary schools and modern Universities in which the opportunities for social activity and corporate life are meagre; and it is precisely in these that econo- mle pressure is leading so many students to an almost exclusive concentration on scientific study.

"If Oxford, Cambridge, and the so-called public schools became predominantly scientific, while the other secondary schools and the modern Universities specialized in the humanities, I should be very much less alarmed than I am now at the educational trend of our But it is Impossible to country. achieve such a reversal, and, what- ever may be well for heroines and martyre, for educational statesmen 'not to attempt the impossible la best."

TAMS AND FUNGS. Villagers Terrorised by Outlaws.

„MAGISTRATE'S QUEER ORDER.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. R. E. Lindsell heard evidence in extradi- tion proceedings against three Chinese who are wanted by the Canton authorities for alleged murder in Talfoo 'village, Namhot district, on May 3.

According to Mr. H. Somerset Fitzroy, who appeared for the Crown, the village was terrorised by a band of outlaws of whom the three alleged fugitives were stated to be members. At the suggestion of the Namhoi Magistrate, who should be thought that rewards offered for the arrest of the mem bers of the band, a meeting of the villagers was held to discuss mat- ters.
