·A· MAIN LINE LOCOMOTIVE,

INTERESTING CEREMONY

AN SCOTSWOOD.

No matter how gracefully the ceremonies are performed and no matter how beautifully the vessel leaves the ways, one does, after all get a little tired of attending the eternal launches on the North- East Coast. Therefore, it was with a distinct feeling of pleasure able articipation, says a corre spondent of the Journal of Commerce, that Twended my way to the Scotswood works to witness an entirely-new-departure in ceremonies the official steaming and trial trip of N.ER. heavy goods locomotive, No. 2253, the Erst main line locomotive built by the firm of Messrs. Sir W. G. Armstrong, Whiteworth and Co.. Ltd.

ARE BOYS PAGANS?

SCHOOLMASTER'S REPLY

After 21 years at Chiswick, the Rey, Prebendary F. W. Isaacs is fearing for St. Giles, Cripplegate and in a farewell to his parish. ioners laments the paganism of juvenile Chiswick.

When the School Boards were abolished, and the control of local educatio was banded over to the Council," he writes "Chiswick Urban District Council made an arbitrary rule that no clerygian or minister should serve on the local Education Committee. Anyone who knows the" result cannot but be appalled. Paganism. even where it is respectable, is but & poor substitute for godliness."

He also deplores the substitu- tion of the cinema for the Sunday school, and the loss of home influence on the boy.

A Daily News representative recently interviewed the head master of one of the biggest schools in the Rev. F. W. Isaacs parish. He was frankly con- & beautifully-modelled goods temptrous of the charges. engine of the 0-8-0 type. with "Of course boys are pagans," 26in. cylinders and a 26in, stroke.

"At what are we invited to be appalled? I have had thousands of boys through my ands, and cannot imagine. Naturally the boys of today is not as good as his predecessors. No boy of any age ever is. At any rate he never is until his predecessors get tn.

The party was then conducted round the works by the chairman of the company, Mr. J.

The first thing to be remembered is that less than a year ago the huge engine works were shell shops turning out during the war, 14,500,000 shells of all calibres. When one remembers that fact the transformation scene effect. ed is little short of miraculous. The whole character of "As for the arbitrary rule of the pro luction has been changed, the Council.
