TRUTI{ FROM THE WELL
During the past Term the chief incident in the life of
Form VI. was the visit of a party to Folkestone Theatre
on Thursday, May 22nd. This party, consisting of Russell,
Cdstelloe, Watts and Hampden, was conducted by Mr. 'F om~
linson, and went to see Benson's Company perform
Hamlet "-which we are reading for the Oxford Senior
I.ocal. Although somewhat disappointed at the mutilated
condition of the stage version used, we liked the play, and
after Mr. Tomlinson had kindly provided refreshments we
retnrned home by the 11.45 p.m. train, with the unanimous
opinion that we had spent a very enjoyable evening.
Following the example of the other Forms in the Senior
School, we have lately had our photographs taken in the
Gardens, and Penn has been successful in producing pictures
which promise to perpetuate, without seriously insulting,
our memories.
The feature of our Form Room which has provided
us with most amusement this term is the chalk-box, which
is fixed to the partition by the head of the steps. Its value
as a receptacle for chalk was practically nothing, and
'slthough for a little while it acted the part of an ammunition
store with considerable success, we soon grew tired of the
continual refilling necessary. Henceforth, ~t served only as
.a very pleasing, but very temporary, support for those boys
who persist in falling (lown the steps. The first youth who
slid over the edge sat squarely in the box, and for a second
hung suspended with a smile of gratification at this un-
expected repeal-then continued his descent amid a shower
of splinters. But, being of the dovetail variety, the box was
fitted together after each accident, and held its place for
some considerable time, until one (lay the pieces were left
on the floor and the School Diogenes, seeing, swooped down
and carried them off-whither, we know not.
The cupboards have nobly upheld their character as
eornucopias by rendering us an antediluvian megaphone,
with the aid of which small hoys who invade our sanctum
-can pretend to be phonographs to their hearts' content.
Another feature of our life which would not be ignored was
the sulphuretted hydrogen. This interesting odour continU-
ally forced itself upon our notice, owing to the proximity of
the chemistry laboratory, and taxed to the utmost the venti-
lating resources of the room.
We also found a specimen tube of Pluvialis "-what-
ever that may be-hut this unfortunately met with an
accitlent, and dissipated an aroma which eclipsed even the
sulphuretted hydrogen, and was like-well, nothing else oii
earth.
This Term our pleiades of massive intellects is losing
yet two more of its members in the persons of Hosking and
Fox, who are leaving School, Hosking to enter a warehouse
in China, and Fox to become a junior clerk in the Kent Coal
Offices.
- The event of the Term which is most important so far
as Form VI. is concernetl, has been left to the last-we
refer to Mr. Coopland's appointment to Liverpool liniver-
sitv. The news of his approaching departtire was received
with sincere regret, alleviated only by pleasure at his success

his place.

FORM NOTES.
FORM lv.
Form IV. is situated in the best part of the School,
inasmuch as we are able to hear the masters (loire a distance
off, owing to the corridors. The windows are in a very
convenient position, and it was at one time quite a joy to
watch various members of the Form clambering out ~n to
the roof in search of lost articles. The waste-paper basket
serves several purposes. It is often used for putting over the
head of some unfortunate individual, and seeing how long it
may be kept there. I also remember one occasion when it
was used in the place of stumps by some budding young
cricketers. I even have a dim recollection that it was some-
times used for waste paper, but possibly I may be wrong. Other
conspicuous andes in the room are the thermometer (which
is never looked at), the notice board (very conveniently
hidden behind the door) on which about twelve sheets of
paper are suspended by one drawing-pin, and a map of
Scott Land." put up for the benefit of those reading the
Lay of the Last Minstrel "; this last seems to be a source
of attraction to all who are not used to the room.
lint, after all, we are much better off rhan either Form
V. or VI., both of whom (whilst wading through an algebra
or arithmetic lesson) have to listen to the exulting strains of
the latest "rag-time.'' In fact, certain members of the
Sixth Form have been visibly affected by the '' rag-time
mania. We give them our sympathies.
As no one has come forth to recount the deeds of ''Ye

(who tied with Street for the Junior Cup) and Lyons i., both
of whom ran very well.

but instead of having it in School, we left at half-past eleven
to meet at the River 'Pram Terminus at one o'clock. We
made our way to Ewell Minnis, where we intended to com-
mence operations.
We then divided into four parties first arranging to
meet at the end of the Minnis when Mr. James blew his
whistle. We were each told to look for a small flower with
four petals, called the Tormentil. I war the first to find it.
l3ourdeaux found a blackbird's nest, with six eggs in it. He
came to tell Mr. James, and then went back to show it to
some of the other boys, who were very much interested. The
leader of the party to which I belonged was Mr. James.
The other parties joined and gathered pocketsful of oak-
apples and hid behind a bush. Then as we came along they
took us by surprise and showered us with them. We found
forty different kinds of flowers-a good number for one
afternoon. When we had gathered these we sat down to
take notes on our walk.
We arrived home about four o'clock, after spending
an enjoyable afternoon. Some returned by train and some
by tram.

we had a game of Scouting. One of the boys found a robin's

"AS YOU LIKE IT" AT FOLKESTONE.
On the 24th of May, 1913, the Benson Company presented
As You Like It '' at Folkestone. and as Form V. are
studying that particular play 'for the Oxford in July '' it was
(lecitled to make a school party. Mr. Schofield went
with Jago i, Carey, Gann, and Ford by train, while Penn.
Bromley, and Green cycled. The train party arrived at the
Pleasure Gardens Theatre about halt an hour tot) soon, so
they strollel along the top of the I .eas waiting for the cyclists.
Owing to a dense fog, the sea was quite invisible. About a
(lilarter of an hour before the commencement of the play,
the three cyclists were seen hurrying along, but there was
plenty of time, and from their seats the party had a good
view of all that passed on the stage. the play was much
appreciated by all, and, thanks to Mr. Coopland's tuition, the
party found one or two errors in the rendering of some of the
pieces. Those of the party who had the pleasure last year
of accompanying Mr. Whitehouse to '' henry V. '' at the
theatre by the same company recognised some old frieiids
in the actors ; floury V. l)CcotOlng Jaques, Fluellen (trio.

when Penn ripped the commissmonaire oly to find that Mr.

THE DEPARTURE OF THE FRENCH PRESIDENL
On Friday, the 21st of Juoe-~ we left school at twenty~
five minutes to twelve to see the departure of the French
President. W~e made our way to the Parade, and we
found that the train had already gone on to the Pier. The
Sea Front and the beach were crowded with people, who
wished to see the President depart.- All the English
battleships had the French flag flying as well as the English
flag. About five minutes to twelve, as the President was
embarking, the ships from the harbour fired their guns as a
salute. The guns from the Castle also fired a salute. At
11000. three aeroplanes-two biplanes and one monoplane--
flew over the harbour. At a quarter past twelve the ships
'were well on their way to France. From the Parade we
could see the escort following the ship on which the President
was. The people who had houses along the Parade had
a nice view. Most of them took the opportunity, and
appeared at the windows with telescopes and field-glasses.
A SPECTATORS
FURTHER CHRONICLES OF ' YE WELLE."
So for many days there was peace in the land, and the
men of the Sixth Hold made a feast in remembrance of the
great battle wherein they oxercame the Fourth.
And it came to pass that theme arose one of the Sixth,
a mighty man of great renown, who cried, '' Behold,
brethren, we wax fat and slothful with peace, so that if
otir enemies come suddenly upon us they shall find us
immiprepared. let us, therefore, arouse ourselves and make a
great effort, else shall we all get the blues."
So they took counsel cue xvith another, saying, '' These
are wordls of wisdlom ; we must consider what is best to be
done." Then immediately one, albeit a yokel, conceived
an idea and cried with a loud voice, '' Let us create an
odour !''
Behold! lt is a wheeze! " said they; and, girmling up
their loins, ran thence unto a place hard by, yclept Ye
I .abbe, '' from which by stealth aimd divers subtle arts they
did filch the wherewithal.
And a while after, the men of the Sixth Hold did labour
greatly, caricaturing models and defacing much fair parch-

on his brow and roiling dowti his nose, gave forth the man-

"WHY" IN DECORATION.
in the last article it was suggested that a few words
might he written to conclude this series of short sketches,
on the treatment of the interior of houses. Here,
more especially, the taste of the occupier determines
the scheme to a large extent-more so than in the exterior
treatment-for taste in ihe latter case must always be moPified
by structural considerations.
Speaking generally then, one may say that probably the
greatest failing of internal treatment in the way of decoration
is that there is far too much of it. Our manner of stirround-
ing ourselves with a mass of trifling little ornamental objects
is probably only a reflection of the general fussiness of our
present day life. There is a great lack of calmness and
dignity in the appearance of our rooms, a dignity which
was very noticeable in some of the earlier types of treatment,
before machinery made the protluction of unconsidered
trifles '' so fatally easy, these trifles being little valued because
so easily and cheaply
procured.
In the elder (lays of art '' the conditions were very
different. Exquisite objects in pottery and metal work were
pro(luced by hand these had all the value and beauty of a
genuine work of art, and were valued as such by those who
l)ossessed them, being handed down from one generation to
another. Obviously, such things could not be produced
wholesale, some might even take years to make, so that in
addition to the innate good taste of the Greeks and other
peoples, there was the restraining influence of the cost of
such ornaments and their comparative scarcity.
And the lirinciples which govern the accumulation of
articles of vertn, even when such articles can really aspire
to the title, should apply also to the general scheme of
decoration. in nine out of ten modern houses there is far
too much decoration, a general sense of restlessness and
confusion. Probably the wall paper and carpet in the
average room will have enough ornamental pattern to suffice
almost for the whole apartment, but every chair will probably
be (lecorated, often on entirely different schemes, and in varying
styles, the walls covered with pictures and irifles from
bazaars, which, by the way are responsible For much nf the
trouble, and no matter how much has been spent on the
room the effect is entirely lost, and there is nothing to rivet
the attention; the whole scheme is diffused without point
or accent.
Substitute a plain paper for the flowered one, and a plain
carpet for the one with the bright pattern, an(1 one may be
aide to see something of one's furniture and pictures, ot
if the furniture is very plain, and there are a good many prints
on the wall, one can gain brightness by having one of the
many charming small-patterned wall papers of good design
of which there is now such a large choice. (It is taken for
granted that the average bazaar trifle would be dis~~arded
in any well-considered scheme, passed on to the next bazaar.
l)erhaps, where it might be sold again for some other cause!)
Then a little grouping of pictures, prints, or 01(1 china with
large, plain wall spaces between will do wonders in
securing an effect of restfulness, and will at the same time
slow off the beauty of the objects themselves.
The central feature of a room need not even be expensive.
A bowl or a pot of daffodils, roses, or other flowers set on a
plain cloth or uncovered oak table would ins!antlv rivet the
attention of anyone entering a room where nothing was oc(luly
assertive, and everything in the way of (lecorations quiet an(l
restraine(l ; but in the over-ornamenteil room the most
l)eautiful flowers or object of art might pass almost un-
observed owing to the lack of point, ((r leading-up ' to
some one or more beautiful things. Have you notice(l
my flowers ?'' ones hostess may say, and if one told the
whole truth and nothing but the truth always, one might often
well reply No, because your room is so hopelessly over-
crowded that one sees nothing in partictilar V
One can compare the room with a meaning '' with the
work of the true craftsman, who, in making a piece of
jewellery, will subordinate everything to his central jewel.

and leave spaces of metal, perhaps plain, to show off and
contrast with its lustre, while the room, however expensively-
furnished, which is all ornament, suggests the vulgarity of
jewellery, which is all precious stones with scarcely any visible
metal, every stone detracting from the beauty of its neighbour
by the very iiumber and confused light.
A great deal more could be written on this subject diii
space permit, but perhaps enough has been said to suggest
one reason at least why our houses are oftefi so unsatisfying
compared with the old dignified Queen Ann, and earlier,.
interiors, with their effect of space and simplicity, everything
beautifully made, and little, if anything, superfluous. We
come by chaiice, perhaps, into a room in an old farmhouse.
The joists are exposed in the ceiling, the walls simply colour
washed, aiid there are few pictures. An oak chest and two
or three good and appropriate pieces of furniture besides
the necessary chairs, may complete its equipment, with.
perhaps a few pieces of pewter or old china. But the sun
throws the shadow of leaded panes on a well-polished floor,
and there is a great bowl of spring flowers on the table, and
the general effect arrests our attention as being very beautiful.
Why? Because of its simplicity and fitness-everything with
a purliose, aiid so little superfluous to distract us that we
realise it all as a beautiftil and harmonious whole. To have
as few things as we can comfortably do with, and to have
them uood, would perhaps involve no more expenditure than
our present system, and the i~haiige might increase tenfold
the beauty of many homes.

l#mg and of three inches diameter, is given to the boy, and
he has to chip out of it a hexagon with half-inch sides
Other work consists in making calipers and spanners out of

I often look back on my visit to Normandy. We went

small garden suburb of Le Havre. It has its own private
police, gas supply, trains, clubs, etc., and is being created
by M. Dufavel. We spent a jolly fortnight there, roaming
about in the country, and bathing from the sands. On our
return trip, the ship left Le Havre at midnight, and we
were fog-bound in the Solent for five hours. We could hear
the church bells in the distance, but could not see a yard in
front of the ship. We arrived home at hover by the night
boat train after a journey of just twenty-three hours.
TwEEDLEDUM.
CURIOUS DWELLING PLACES.
At the recent S.P.G. Missionary Exhibition in the
Town Hall, among the many curios, were exhibited some
model native villages and houses. The most striking of
these were the Dyak village and the Japanese house. The
Dyaks are a Malay race inhabiting the large island of
Borneo in the East Indies. They live in villages, but not
the kind of village we are accustomed to, for their villages
consist of one single house. In a village as many as forty
or fifty families may live. As another family is created,
so thee add another room, for themselves, on to the village.
For this reason the villages are very long, but comparatively
narrow. They are built of bamboo and palm. The frame-
work is of bamboo and the roof and lighter partitions arc
of palm leaves. The Dyaks build their villages oi piles,
for several reasons, but chiefly for protection against floods,
and against the inroads of other tribes. Floods in Borneo
are extremely common; in fact, for a great part of the
year much land is tinder water, for the rainfall is great.
The Dyaks are a head-hunting nation ; this supplies anothei
reason for building their houses off the ground. The only
means of access to them is a notched pole at one end of the
village, which can he drawn up at will. Here and there
we should be surprised to see bunches of smoke-blackened
skulls hangimg up. 'Ihese are taken froni enemies whom
they kill. At a marriage feast in Borneo there is always or
the table, a fresh human head, dripping with blood, whose
owner the bridegroom has recently killed. if he, the
bridegroom, cannot find an enemy to kill, he digs up the
body cf some recently buried man, and puts the head or
the table. The head in Borneo would correspond to the
scalp in North America. The practice of Lead-hunting is
iiow, however, practically obsolete in Borneo. Underneath
the house, among the l)iles, are kept pigs and other
animals. Along the front of the house runs a kind of
verandah, and admission is gained to the various rooms
from the verandah by an open doorway, so the houses mon
I)e very airy. The villages are generally built by the side
of a river or lake.
Another curious dwelling is that tised by the Japanese
All their houses are of a special shape. and the floors are
covered with mats. Curious to say, all these Japanese
mats are of the same size, three feet by six feet, anO
houses are hired by the number of mats they contain. The
walls consist of big panels which slide in slots made in the
t42 THE PHAROS. THE PHAROS. 543
frame-work. The frame-work of a house is of bambeo,
while the rest is of paper. From this we can see at once
the paper wfluld make fires very common in Japan. T!.~e
bamboo is very supple, and earthquakes are exceedingly
common, so where a brick house would be utterly wrecked
a bamboo house might only be shaken. So the panels
are made with bamboo for the framework and paper for
the covering. Thus if it is a very hot day the Japanese
can remove part of the walls by sliding out these panels.
The door also is of bamboo and paper and one can imagine
how draughty it must be, especially if the paper is torn,
as is very often the case. On top of the dwelling in the
centre is an alcove, where the honoured guest sits. This
alcove, however, is made of bamboo and plaster. All
cooking is done on a charcoal fire, and as this is the sole
means of warming the house, one must again imagine how
cold it is. As the houses are made of paper, what must
happen when a strong wind is blowing and a heavy rain
falling?
