SAWSTON (Cambridgeabiro). "Tiil we have built Jerusalem...

land."

So we all sang when the Prince of Wales opened England's firat village college at Sawaton.

It was a simple ceremony,' appro, priate to the homeliness of the coun- tryside for which the village college is désigned.

Baneton is just a small Cam- bridgeshire village geven miles from the county town, and it was a country welcome from village child- ren, farmers, farm laurora and all those who live by the land that the Prince received.

After the collège was dedicated by the Bishop of Ely, the Princo declared it open, and congratulated the Cambridgeshire County Council upon its bold and original attempt to give the English countryside the opportunities for educaton and social life that the towns already enjoy.
