Residents of the gulet riverside resort of Thames Ditton, in Surrey, wero' awakened in the early hours of the morning recently by the rap- tap-tap of revolver shots.

SCHOOLS DOOMED.

Effect of High Fees and Increased Taxation.

Knocked half unconscious, the pursuer was compelled to give up his chase and it was only with great diffculty that he managed to re- gain the shore. There he was re- ceived by some fellow residents and hurried off to hospital, his head throbbing with pain. His injury, though severe, is not likely to prove fatal.

TWELVE COMMANDMENTS.

Parents' Requests for Reduced Fees

Many parents have written to the headmasters of their sons' schools asking whether in view of the pre- sent economic, criais it will be pos- sible to reduce their fees.

The governors of Eton College at a recent meeting have decided that such a step is impossible but they have recommended that extra charges should be reduced wherever possible.

The governors at Marlborough College came to a similar conclusion but at a private meeting of the staff it was decided that the masters should if possible give a certain proportion of their salaries to the formation of a fund from which contributions would be made to the parents of those boys who would otherwise have to leave the school.

MASEFIELD.

Ode to Cathedral

Tower Compass.

Centuries-old pageantry was re vived in Liverpool's half-finished Cathedral, when Canon F. W. Dwelly was installed as the cathedral's-first Dean,

The vergera were clad in fourth- century vestments, and a special ode to the cathedral by Mr. John Mase field, the Poet-Laureate, was sung.

This poem, which had been kept a secret for the service, was na follows:

They buried Him, and then the

The city feasted; and the fenstersi

The bandits were so touched that they pocketed their revolvers, shook Herr Haesler warmly by the hand, wished him better luck, and took their departure, leaving the tiil untouched.

In reply they said that the prin cipals of a number of schools had written to tell them that they were prepared to accept a reduced fee in suitable cases, but that as far as they knew very few school prin elpals had officially made a reduc- tion in their fees. Most of them, however, were doing their best to koop the extras as low as possible so that the school fees should be almost inclusive.
