• • Just at the present time our staff in Burma stands in

supreme need of all the help and support that our praye:i:s and sympathy can give: indeed· not only our staff, btit the staff

483

of the whole administration of the Province : for Burma has been experiencing a very trying time of late. The following extracts from three private letters which arrived together on a recent Monday morning are straws which indicate a good deal.

The missionary wife of a missionary priest writes : " I have had neuritis in both arms and am now full of rheumatism which is so painfnl. (The husband's) eyes are much better, and he has only to go to the doctor once in ten days now, I was so dead beat after Christmas that I had to go to my friend ...... for a rest. It was lovely and cold up there. It has been a year of earthquakes and riots. The last was the other day between Hindus and Mahommedans over a procession in Mogul Street. Rice is very cheap, now, but there is much depression. Everybody is short of money, especially the Education Department. S. Mary's is going strong. They got fourteen prizes at the needlework exhibition. They had a bad week of it during the Chinese and Burmese riot as they were right in the middle of it. But they had plenty of food thanks to Phyu Phyu."

The head of a Girls' School writes: " Are you jnst revel­ling in our beloved English spring ? I can only see England as a place of snowdrops, primroses, violets, daffodils, thrushes and blackbirds. I know there are fogs and mud, piercing winds and chilblains, but somehow they won't really come into consciousness. I feel old and withered and long for a breath of good old English air."

From Maymyo there is a letter from an old parishioner long settled there. She writes : " You will know how worried and anxious I have been about my two boys in the Pegu and Tharrawaddy area. The strain has just been awful, and I could settle down to absolutely nothing. Now my youngest boy is on tour and although five Forest Officers are out together yet there is always the danger of snipers in the dense jungle."

A letter written by Archdeacon Anderson on January Sth says : " It has been a somewhat disturbed Christmas. A rebellion in Tharrawaddy district on Christmas Eve and Sino­Burmese riots in Rangoon over the New Year. The latter are quieting down, but S. Mary's have had a nasty time with murders going on under their windows. As I was preaching (in the Cathedral) yesterday morning a murder took place at the corner of the Cathedral roads in full view of the preacher. The congregation could not see it. It has been nothing like so bad as in May and the trouble has been confined to Chinatown more or less. Sir Charles Innes returns next w'eek and that will restore confidence.,.

484

It will be remembered that the May riots followed within a week or two of the disastrous earthquake. Few people in England have any notion how horrible those riots were. At that time we received a Jetter from the Principal of the Diocesan Boys' School saying that he and his family were staying with friends (it was during the holidays) " having been driven out of our house by the stench of rotting vegetables and corpses." Shortly after this Mrs. Cotton was invalided home. Who can wonder at people breaking down under such conditions ?

The full story of the Tharrawaddy rebellion has not yet been told. But we have seen enough to make us realise that it was a very nasty business. It would appear that a com­bination of various causes Jay behind it all . There has been much poverty owing to the cultivators being unable to get prices for their paddy crops. This made the time opportune for anti-government and anti-British propaganda, upon which the pongyis in particular are continually engaged. Then there is the general unrest in India of which all kinds of garbled accounts and rumours get abroad, and which undoubtedly tend to give to the masses the -impression that the hand of Govern­ment is losing its grip. When this kind of thing is combined with gross ignorance and unthinkable credulity the opportunity for the mischievous demagogue is entirely ripe. The people who have suffered most have been the poor misguided village rebels themselves. Many of them have been killed ; many have been imprisoned : villages have been destroyed. The lives of government servants have also been lost, the expedition to quell the rebellion must have been very costly, and on all sides nerves have been frayed and nervous energy expended which is sorely needed for more constructive work at a time like the present. The burden which the authorities from the Governor downwards are bearing just now, and which their families have to bear with them, must be well nigh insupport­able. And so we say again that both our own diocesan staff and the staff of the whole administration of the Province supremely need all the help and support that our prayers and our sympathy can give .

• The following extracts from the Rangoon Gazette bear

further testimony to jumpy nerves :-" Jn view of the state of alarm and uneasiness that prevails

in Mandalay for no reason whatsoever, the Deputy Com­missioner, Mandalay, in consultation with the elders of the town has issued the following statements, assuring the inhabit­ants that there is no cause for panic :-

485

' On two separate occasions during the last week a panic ·bas occurred in the Zegyo, which has led to the closing of shops and a good deal of local confusion and excitement and which on the first occasion spread about the town and occasioned the closing of numerous shops in the Zegyo neighbourhood, the dispersal of children from schools and actual flight from the disturbed area in motor cars and other vehicles. In view of the extraordinary feeling of nervousness evinced by the occurrences, for which no adequate reason exists, the Deputy Commissioner, on Saturday, January 17th, 1931, called a meeting of representative Lugyis of Mandalay, and it was agreed that the facts, as they have been explained to the Lugyis, should be made widely known through a pronouncement by the Deputy Commissioner, to be published in all local news­papers and to be printed as a leaflet and distributed freely at the expense of certain public-spirited gentlemen, who volunteered this assistance.' "

The pronouncement, a long .and very clear statement, correcting gross inaccuracies which had appeared in some of the less reputable local newspapers, follows. Another extract:-

" The extent to which the Tharrawaddy rebellion ·has worked on the feelings of the native populace of Rangoon was demonstrated when a policeman's shout for a bus to stop after a small collision at the corner of Fraser and China Streets caused a stampede through Fraser Street right on to Pazundaung and to Botatoung.

Rickshaw pullers were most prominent in spreading the panic. They were seen running Eastwards with their rickshaws; shouting Hindustani equivalents for ' They're fighting,' ' They're killing.'

Others took up the cry and within ten minutes the city was echoing with fantastic rumours. Most shop~keepers on Fraser Street shut up shop and groups of people gathered at street corners voicing wild speculations. The police of Kyauktada guard turned out and patrolled Fraser Street east of Sule Pagoda Road.

After half-an-hour things' quietened down, when people learnt that there was no foundation for the wild rumours that were being circulated."

• • The following from the Rangoon Gazette, indicates one of the

·causes of unrest:-" A SJ)ecial Correspondent · review~ the rice position in

Burma as it stands at present. There is a11 avail<1ble export­able surplus of 3,500,000 tons of Bumia rice which p.as to be ·marketed in countries, most of which are affected by adverse -economic conditions.

486

The correspondent states that Europe's demand is very slow and even at the present low level the price of rice is con­sidered high in relation to wheat, which is about I/- per cwt. cheaper than Burma Loonzain rice.

The Burman proposes to solve the problem by holding his stocks from the market and refusing to sell his paddy at under the so-called cost of production (a highly contentious figure), but it is obvious that unless something entirely unfore­seen occurs to stimulate demand, such a course of action may result in other exporting countries securing an undue share of available outlets.

If this policy is persisted in it may be temporarily successful in averting a further decline for a period, but it will not solve the problem of finding a market for the exportable crop and these enormous supplies cannot be carried indefinitely.

Low prices may stimulate demand, holding out for high prices certainly will not. There is, therefore, a great danger that the present policy may result later on in a worse slump than would result from putting supplies steadily on the market in normal quantities at best price obtainable. Marketing of paddy this year up to date has been only about 25 per cent. of normal."

"0RDINATION.-A large congregation assembled on Decem­ber 21st when the Bishop ordained the Revs. H. V. Huffton and Tun Win to the priesthood and also admitted Mr. H. Morgan as a deacon. The sermon was preached by the Rev. W. R. Garrad. The Bishop was attended by the Rev. J. W. Doherty as Chaplain, and six priests took part in the laying-on of hands.

The Rev. H. V. Huffton celebrated Holy Communion for the first time on Monday morning and left the same day for Maymyo, where he is posted as Assistant Chaplain. We greatly regret his departure from the Cathedral, but circum· stances necessitated it. The Chaplain of Namtu has been transferred to Moulmein in order to fill a vacancy there, and the Chaplain of Maymyo is once again in charge of Namtu and Lashio. As this necessitates his being absent from Maymyo for ten days in each month, it is essential that there should be a second priest there. We extend a hearty welcome to the Rev. H. Morgan and wish him a happy and useful ministry at the Cathedral." (Cathedral Parish Magazine).

It will be remembered that Huffton is a product of our Diocesan Boys' School, Rangoon University and Bishop's College, Calcutta. It is good to know that at long last the

487

Diocese has produced an indigenous priest for chaplaincy work amongst the community . to which he himself belongs. It is the obvious and nght solution, as well as the only possible solution for solving the supremely important problem of providing an adequate ministry for the European and Anglo­Jndian population. We hope that he will be the first of a steady flow of similar recruits to the priesthood.

Morgan came to Rangoon as a layman on the staff of the Missions to Seamen, in which capacity he did excellent work for a year. He then went to Bishop's College, Calcutta, to prepare for ordination . We understand that his course of training there having been somewhat curtailed, he will remain a deacon for two years. The Cathedral parish will be an admirable training ground for the priesthood.

Miss Fairclough has got a K.I.H. That is good, and entirely as it should be. For over thirty years she has devoted herself utterly to St. Matthew's High School for Girls in Moulmein. She would be angry if we were to say all that we could say about her, for every bit of it would be in her praise : and she does not like praise : she likes work. All that she has done for a whole generation of girls will never be known, for all of it has been unobtrusively done. But it is said of her by those who know that she has kept in touch in after life with every pupil who has passed through her hands. That is a really wonderful record : and it is quite enough to account for the very remarkable esprit-de-corps which animates old St. Matthew's girls throughout the Province. It may be that our readers have not heard much about St. Matthew's Girls' School. But speaking as we do with quite a lot of inside knowledge, we are prepared to assert that there is no more admirable Christian institution in the whole of Burma.

The Rev. W. C. B. Purser will be leaving Lyminge in April. He has been presented by the Archdeacon of Canterbury to the benefice of Teynham, Sittingbourne, where his address will be. The R.D.A. Account will be transferred from the Westminster Bank, Folkestone to the Westminster Bank, Sittingbourne.

The Rev. C.R. Purser has been presented by Foyle Fawcett, Esq. to the benefice of Somerford Keynes, Cirencester. To both brothers we offer our very hearty good wishes.

* • * • We have been reading the report of the Annual Schools

Needlework Exhibition for the Province, and in the list of prize-winners our Church Schools have come out quite

488

astonishingly well. In standards IX. and X . of the English and Anglo-Vernacular Schools of the whole Province, out of thirteen prizes no less than eleven were won by our girls. Only the sixth and thirteenth places were taken by other schools. In other standards our record is also very good. Hearty congratulations to staffs and pupils.

Criticisms have reached us of the scheme for daily inter­cession for the Diocese. With some of them we sympathise. The scheme is geographical, working from north to south, and for those who know the country and the staffing of our work it should be adequate. But we readily believe that something fuller would be welcome to many. We have it in mind to issue something fuller. But to make it adequate for all it would need to be very much amplified, and for that reason we believe that we should not be justified in printing a fuller scheme more than once a year. We will get to work on it with a view to the July number..

Once a year, in January, we puhlish a list of supported children and their patrons. Our attention has been drawn to one omission in the last list. The Mothers' Union of South Petherton has contributed £6 for the support of John Mya Moung at Shwebo. We regret the ommission and are glad that it was pointed out. Since contributions take various and sometimes devious routes on their way to their final destination, it is not easy to make the lists quite accurate.

The Oversea Secretary for S.P.G. writes:-" I am keenly distressed about the shortage of men in

Burma. The problem really is becoming serious. We do all we can to win candidates and I do all I can to persuade men to go to Burma. At present I see no sign of recruits, though in about two years' time we hope that several of our candidates will have completed training and may be available. I hope you will do all you can through the Rangoon Magazine to press the need of recruits."

In the Statement of Accounts the Moulmein Forward Funds shews a balance of £1,060. This means that the money is there waiting for any suitable missionary priest who may offer himself for the work.

We are conscious that this number does not contain much news from " Mission Stations " in the narrower sense of that term. Had we delayed publication for a few weeks we might have had more, for we have sent to the front an urgent request for copy. But we were reluctant to delay publication. It would have been a bad start for a new Editor.

The Rev. B. A. Whitehead, B.A., Curate of St. Mary the Virgin, Dover, has been appointed as the Rev. J. J. Woolcott's successor on the Staff of St. Michael's, Kemmendine, and hopes to sail to Burma next January. This is stop press news, for which laus Deo.

BISHOP'S LETTER. 'l'OUR IN THE PAKU KAREN HILLS, TOUNGOO DISTRICT.

On Sunday, January llth, 1931 I ordained John Hla Gyaw deacon in S. Paul's Church, Institute Village, Toungoo. It was a solemn service. Mr. !licks preached in Karen. At present Hla Gyaw is on the staff of the Divinity School, Kokine, but Toungoo is already begging for his return. The shortage problem among the Karen clergy is serious and indeed this whole mission is beset with difficult questions which we can only solve by the grace of God and the guidance of His Spirit.

On Monday 12th, the Rev. W. R. Menzies and I started off in a canoe down the Sittang and up the beautiful river Daylo as far as the foot of these hills, and for 13 days we have walked about 4 hours per day, held a confirmation in the

490

evening and after celebration the next morning, struck camp and marched on to the next village. These hills are more open and beautiful than the Bway Karen side which I visited two years ago, especially some of the valleys where we marched through shady glens by the side of cascades and broken hill streams. It is pretty heavy going, because the villages are t1sually at the top of the hill to avoid the fevers of t.he valleys. This means lack of water in the village and consequent dirt and discomfort, but it is the lesser of two evils. The villagers would hardly survive if they lived down below by their nut plantations and the water and the shady glens. They must have the sun-if only to clean up the village. For their civilisation is built upon pigs and bamboos. Apparently anything can be made from a bamboo-knives, forks, cups, pails, houses, everything ! As for pigs-they are the noisome scavengers. The few heathen that are left in this district are devil-worshippers. They regard the pigs as the special " totem " as it were of the Evil One, and I find no difficulty in believing. them ! When a heathen is baptised, his last pig must be killed by the teacher or priest-it kills off the devil's entail as it were. Then the convert can start off on a new lot of pigs-Christian pigs this time-although there does not seem to be much outward difference! The people live on pigs, paddy, nuts and oranges. They are all cultivators. Occasionally in a bigger village you find a shop or two, but the merchan.t will be a Shan or a Burman, not a Karen.

The population of our area is about 2,000 spread over 20 or so villages. The infant mortality is very high-chiefly due to lack of milk aud wrong diet, but if the population spread at the birthrate, it is hard to see how it could be maintained in the g-reat struggle for existence in these hills. A big problem is education. A school to be recognised by Government must have at least 25 children, but there are very few villages which can produce as many children for many consecutive years. A school flourishes for three or four years and then collapses for want of children. Moreover, distances are great and for five months in the year the paths and streams are unpassable. It is therefore difficult to run a school for a circle of villages. Many of the children finish their education by the time they are nine or ten years and sometimes even when they are only eight years old. The villagers are commendably keen on education and realise its value. In almost every village we were asked to send two or three boys or girls to S. Luke's, Toungoo. Indeed our policy of maintaining and rebuilding S. Luke's has again and again been confirmed on this tour. S. Luke's is the intellectual centre of the Toungoo Mission.

491

From it will come not only the future clergy and teachers, but men of vision and character, who will be able to lead the Karens forward on sound lines of progress. It is no small thing that s. Luke's teaches the boys to work together and gives them the discipline of community life. The devotion of the Karens to their Church is real and costs them something which they gladly give. One form of their giving is that each village carries our camp and baggage to the next village voluntarily. It is their gift of service to the Church. We could of course hire coolies for the whole trip and in many ways it would be more convenient and comfortable, but we should deprive the villagers of their opportunity of service. In every village we had a most hospitable welcome and gifts and supplies of all sorts were showered upon us. They are very independent : they love shaking hands! every man, woman and child -wants to shake bands. Their great weakness is lack of unity and cohesion.

It is not easy for the villagers to see beyond the limits of their own village. Their community is self-contained. They dread roads or modern transport. Not unreasonab1y they fear that civilisation will bring thieves and trouble. In their ·simple primitive way their nuts and paddy are quite safe-although they may be two hours' walk from the village. 'l'hen, beautiful as the hills ar~. there is a certain monotony about them which must limi~ the vision and imagination. There is a curious lack of colour or life. Butterflies, birds and animals are few and far between. Occasionally I saw the gleam of a king-fisher or the glitter of a butterfly, but at no season of the year I under­stand is there much stir or life. There are said to be a few leopards, but no other game, and I imagine the leopards find it difficult to live.

The villages are nearly all Christian-either Baptist or Anglican . The Romans are not strong here. The village life centres round the Church and the School. We have two priests and one deacon for these twenty villages. I hope to ordain the deacon to the priesthood shortly. During the cold weather each village has Holy Communion four or five times. In the rains communications are impossible, and they have no Communion. Is this right ? Is this a case for Roland Allen's proposal ? Ought we to have voluntary clergy, ordaining the village elder who would work without pay ? For Communion means much to these people. I think of one vil­Jage where they have built at their owi:i expense a beautiful wood church. Its roof consists of 160 zinc sheets, which the young men themselves carried from the plains. The whole church was built by voluntary labour. We had brought with us a pair of brass candlesticks, which had been presented to

492

the Mission, but when we saw the rough, but not inartistic wooden candlesticks they themselves had made we decided that they expressed the worship and devotion of the people better than factory-made ones from England._ In this village church, situated on the top of a hill in full view of a glorious landscape of forest, hill and valley, they have arranged their own daily intercession service and on one day of the week they pray for Bishops Knight and Fyffe and all their English friends and helpers at home.

· Now at the Confirmation service I inquired about Bibles­and in thls and other villages we found not more than one or two Bibles. They find the Old Testament and the Epistles too difficult. I have often wondered at the intellectual standard of S. Paul's converts. His letters contain very strong meat. The modern missionary finds his people cannot digest more than milk and that a very skimmed milk of Christian teaching. But S. Paul's converts were mostly townspeople, with a back­ground of Greek culture and still more Jewish teaching. They were familiar with the Old Testament. The simple hill Karens-like the Kachins in the North-find the Epistles far too difficult. But they love hymns. They can nearly all read and most of them have Hymn Books and Prayer Books, and it is on these that their · spiritual life is nurtured. Most solemn was their soft and sweet singing of " Our Blest Redeemer ere He breathed " in the Confirmation service or " I am not worthy " at Communion. I am told that most of the Karen hymns are well translated, it may not be good poetry or polished language, but it gets good teaching " across." It certainly is vitally important that a Church which is being built upon a Hymn Book and the Prayer Book should have hymns, which make for edification . I am perplexed about the Bible. Of course the Gospels and Epistles are read in the Prayer Book and our liturgical language is saturated with Scripture, but it is a great loss for the boys and girls not to be familiar with the great Old Testament heroes-the finest story book in the world. They rlo indeed hear these read in Church at other services than Holy Communion, but they do not read them in their own homes. Perhaps something could be done by lyrics. In South India at one time it seemed as if Buddhism would triumph over Hinduism, until the great Tamil Poet, Mannikkar Vasikar arose and he literally sang Buddhism out of India. His Hindu lyrics became the popular songs in every village feast , at every great festival. Why should not the Gospel story and the stories of the great Old Testament Heroes be put into Karen verse and sung to popular Karen tunes ? The Karens are a hill people like the Welsh with a natural gift of song, and why should they not have their Eisteddfodd with prizes for the best poems and lyrics?

493

The Karens are beginning to take interest in evangelism. This district is Christian, and in many ways cut off from the plains. Indeed, from the point of view of the Kingdom of God in Burma, we should not side-track our missionaries into this area. Christia.n strategy should lead us to other centres, such as Kappali in the Thaton District, not far from Moulmein, where \Vest and Taw Mwa are working. There we have virgin soil, and many thousands of heathen Karens who seem anxious to receive the Gospel. The Toungoo Karens are awaking up to this call. It will mean much to the Toungoo Church if it really throws itself into the evangelisation of the Kappali area.

This has been a delightful tour--more of a holiday than work. It has been great to see the affectionate regard in which Menzies is held. For 25 years he and his splendid wife have given themselves to this Mission. Their devotion has been unwearied, and they have tended the people in sickness and in health. Mission work in these hills is a hard and trying life. There are few comforts and much to discourage, but Jfenzies is now reaping his reward., In every village he is the friend of all the world--and knows by name grandpa, father and child.

HOME NOTES. THE REV. P. H. COOKE'S REPORT.

This three months I have been taking regular duty-Sunday and two week-days-at S. Paul's, Wimbledon Park, during an interregnum, and had few opportunities.

At S. Paul's I have given lectures to children and adults on Rangoon and Karen Work, and on Rangoon to two Private Girls ' Schools, and one sermon.

At S. Andrew's, Wimbledon, where Miss Dyke's father is Churchwarden, and where generous support is given to Mandalay work, there were lectures for K.M. members and fot adults.

Then on March 14th, at a Sale of Work at S. Dunstan's, Stepney, the parish from which Mr. Appleton went out, I addressed a very appreciative audience.

On Quinquagesima Sunday at S. Peter's, Hammersmith, as S.P.G. Deputation, I spoke on Burma, morning, afternoon and evening.

Invitations to speak at Sales and Drawing Room Meetings during the summer, or to preach (on Sundays in July only), will be very welcome.

OBITUARY. The death of the Rev. John Jackson Woollcott is a very

grievous blow indeed. He was a missionary priest of whom we had every reason to hope great things. We knew him intimately from the time of his first arrival in Burma in the Autumn of 1926. He had been ordained deacon in England a few months before. Never was there a man more entirely whole-hearted about his vocation as a missionary. Strong faith, clear convictions, real humility, a happy temperament, warm affection, all combined with complete disregard of his own personal comfort were outstanding characteristics of the man. On his first arrival he was posted to Christ Church, Mandalay to work with William Garrad. He at once settled down to hard work at the Burmese language, which is an utterly indispensable course for a Missionary to talce, and with the language he did really well. The following summer, when the Headmaster went on furlough, he had to talce charge of the boarding department of the ,Royal School, and personal contact with the boys was most congenial to him. This kept him very much tied to Mandalay and to the mission compound, and his pastoral work was mainly personal and intensive. It was during this period that he devoted a great deal of time and spiritual effort to the reformation of an unhappy Eurasian drunkard, the husband of a good Burmese Christian woman, and he got him onto his legs again.

_But evangelical work in jungle villages was what he always wished to do and soon after William Purser went home it became supremely desirable to have another English priest in the Delta.

He was never robust and there was some doubt as to whether his health would stand the Lower Burma climate. For some months he had his headquarters at Kemmendine with strict orders not to stay out on tour for long spells at a time without coming in to report himself. His health did not seem to suffer at all , and he was supremely happy, with his English colleagues, with the native clergy and with the village people. For the last two years most of his time was spent at Alaman village, near Wakema, where it seemed that he had entirely found his true vocation for the time being. When we last met him, just a year ago, he was bubbling over with happiness in his job.

We gather that it was rheumatic fever which caused his death. Early in January, Miss Cam, while touring, found him in much pain and obviously very ill. She hurried him off to

495

the W akema hospital and from there he was moved next day to Rangoon. In the General Hospital he received the last sacraments and died on January 12th. By his own request he was buried in his own village of Alaman. · He was only 28 years old. He had been in Burma just over five years. He was to haye gone on leave this spring. He was the only son of his mother. One who had known him well recently writes that he was always talking about his mother who wished to come to Burma to share his lot. To her and to his sister our very deep sympathy goes out Mrs. WooUcott had whole­heartedly given her son to God's service in the Mission Field. Now she has been caUed upon to make the biggest sacrifice that can be made. We doubt not that God will give her fortitude. Her sacrifice has been accepted. We shaU not forget to pray for her, and for him, and for his flock, and for the raising up of one to carry on his work.

W.H.C.J.

The Rangoon Gazette writes of nim :-" The Rev. WooUcott's home was in Exeter, and after being

educated at Exeter School, he proceeded to Exeter · College, Oxford, where he gained his B.A. degree with honours. Recog­nising while at Oxford a vocation to missionary work he then studied for a year at S. Boniface Missionary College, War­minster, and on Trinity Sunday, 1926, he was ordained deacon by the Bishop of Winchester. In October of the same year he sailed for Burma and took tip work with the Winchester Brother­hood at Mandalay, being already an extern oblate of the Benedictine Abbey of Nashdom. At Trinity, 1927 he was ordained priest by the Bishop of Rangoon in Rangoon Cathedral, the occasion being a memorable one, for at the same time a Karen deacon was ordained, Lµke Po Kun, with whom later WooUcott was intimately_ associated in his work among the Pwo Karens of the Delta. In June, 1928 he left Mandalay to take up work with S. Michael's Mission, Kemmendine. From that time onward he spent most of his time touring among the Delta villages, shepherding the scattered Christians and preaching to . the non-Christians. His centre was at Alaman ,·illage near . Wakema and there he was greatly loved and respected by the villagers. His life was simple and _unhurried, reminiscent of the life of the cure of some little French village. He never spared himself and his body was ever the servant of his enthusiaStic spirit."

THE DIOCESAN GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL. (From the Rangoon Gazette).

On Thursday, January 29th, the new building was opened by the Governor, Sir Charles Innes, who was accompanied by Lady Innes, his Private Secretary and an A.D_.C. After inspecting the buildings speeches were made in the great assembly hall which was crowded.

Miss Petrie, the Principal, in the course of the opening speech said :

" This School was first opened as a Day School in 1864 in conjunction with the Boys' School in the present Boys' School and Cathedral compound. A wooden wall separated the two institutions. There is no information available about the school during the first twelve years, but from 1876 we have fuller records. At first both schools led a precarious existence and in 1877 the Boys' School actually closed down for three months. Financial crises were frequent and agaiu and again the Board of Governors discussed the question of letting the schools ~ie. At the end of 1870 more than half the girls left. In I 894 the Bishop arranged that the Sisters of the Church should take charge of the Girls' School and . soon afterwards the School was moved, first to Keighly Street, then to two rented houses in Lancaster and York roads. (It was just before the Sisters took over that the Headmistress, Grace Darling, was drowned while attempting to rescue a pupil from drowning at Amherst). With a monthly rent of Rs. 310 to pay the Sisters found themselves unable to make both ends meet and an appeal for subscriptions met with poor response. In ·1898 the Board resumed charge of the School. There were then about eighty pupils in the school. Bishop Strachan came to the rescue of the Board with a Joan of Rs. 40,000 from his own pocket. Two houses in Sandwith Road· were purchased and under the guidance of Mrs. Nodder and Miss Richardson the school rapidly increased. The Sisters returned at the end of I 898, there then being 158 pupils of whom 19 were boarders. The School is reported then to have been more efficient educationally_ than ever before. Various improvements were effected in the buildings and a drill hall was built at a cost of Rs. 7,000. Bishop Strachan left a legacy of Rs. 20,000 to the School which cleared off its debt.

In 1906 Miss Hannay returned to her post as Teacher of Singing, a post which she originally held in 1900. The In· spection Report of those early days says, " Miss Hannay deserves praise for the excellent work in singing." Since then ma,ny generations have benefitted by Miss Hannay's

497

vigorous teaching and I am glad to say that she is still our Singing Teacher. In 1906, also, Miss Sumner came out from England and was appointed by the Bishop to help the Sisters in the School. Miss Sumner, Vice-Principal and mainstay of the School all these years, has recently gone to England. We expect her back at the end of a year.

In 1907 came the move to Signal •Pagoda Road. The " Herbertswood " property was purchased for Rs. 90,000. One house was retained in Sandwith Road for the Day School. An entry in the Sisters' Diary in 1907 reads, "We went to see the proposed new house, Herbertswood : quite an exception­ally large and beautiful one. To see was to admire." And again. " We greatly admired the charming garden and well­ventilated dormitories." .Knowing the place in its more decrepit days I can only admire the optimism of the Sisters.

Towards the end of 1908 the Sisters asked to he relieved of the School altogether, and in 1909 Miss Colbatch Clark arrived from England to become Principal. Meanwhile, plans had been drawn up for the block of classrooms, drill hall and office to cost Rs. 22,000 and the building was opened in June of the same year. Miss Hearn joined Miss Clark and Miss Sumner followed. ·

During the next 18} years, under Miss Clark, the School advanced from strength to strength. The Kindergarten Building was put up during the War., Tudor House was pur­chased in 1918, and Bridge House in 1922. The purchase of Bridge House left the School with a large and uncomfortable debt to the Diocese, but I am glad to say that owing to the generosity of two anonymous donors the debt is now cleared off.

Miss Clark belongs to the same race of Headmistresses as Miss Beal of Cheltenham, Miss Buss of London, Miss Ottley of Worcester. Her wonderful singleness of purpose, and her inspiring personality, welded the Schbol into a living organism and gave it purpose and direction. Herself a Cheltonian, she introduced the customs of English public schools and the Prefects, the School Houses, and the Old Girls' Guild owe their existence to her. All who came under her influence felt the richer for having known her. She will ever be remembered as the maker of the School and as the source of inspiration to those who knew and loved her. Feeling that she had done all she could for Burma, she returned to England for a rest in 1927. After a few months she was asked to organise the new Girls' School in Achimota, West Africa. With her usual alacrity she accepted the post and is still there. I met her in July of last year and heard her speak with enthusiasm of her work in

498

the Gold Coast. She was delighted to hear of our new building and the last letter I received contained a cheque for a hundred pounds towards furnishing the new Chapel. We only want, now, that she should come and visit the School in person. We shall do our best to persuade her to come.

During the years the School has had its share of examination successes. In 1904 Kathleen Wall, now Dr. Ferguson of the Dufferin Hospital, was placed first in the Provinces of Bengal and Burma in the final School examination and won the Bigandet Scholarship. Three more of Rangoon's fully­<Jualified doctors are old girls of this School, Dr. Alexander, Dr. Barnett, Dr. Baker. In 1907 Maude Wall, now on the School Staff as Mrs. Cline, came first in the Province and was nominated for the State Scholarship. Six times the position of First in the Province has been gained by· pupils of this School. In Mis,; Clark's .last year 17 out of 29 passed the High School Final Examination ; five. of them were placed in the first class, two won University Scholarships. Ethel Ferdinands came first in the Province, winning the Mother St. Vincent Gold Medal. In the same vear ·the School won the Needlework Shield for open competition in. the Province. We have again securerl the Harcourt Butler Shielrl for needlework.

During the last four years the numbers in the School have increased from 370 to 490. It was found impossible to accommodate this number in the existing compound. The boarding house lost the beauty of the Sisters'. days and the classrooms, suitable for 12 or 15 pupils, were almost unbearable for 30. There was no assembly hall and lastly no playground space. For these reasons it was thought advisable to move to a new site. The various difficulties were overcome, and in March, 1_930 Your Excellencv laid the foundation stone, and to-day the building is complete. I believe that we have a building which will be an education_ in itself and those who spend a large part of their impressionable years here cannot help being influenced by its dignity and the spaciousness of the surroundings.

I want to -end with a word of warning addressed to our­selves-. Owing to fortunate circumstances we are established in the building, but a building is not enough. I believe that the requisites for a University are a bench with a professor . at one end and a student at the other. In ·a School it is the pupils and the teachers. And the spirit which animates them both is more important than the building in which they work. As Dr. Norwood of Harrow has put it, "The most valuable things in education are the most elusive and the most immeasurable."

499

The endeavour of the future must be to maintain the . best tradition of the past. We have yet to prove that we can live up to this building.

Lastly, we in the School represent a minority community and we know that the future of minority communities in India is in the balance. I would remind you, if I may, of word& spoken by Mr. Ramsay MacDonald on the 19th of the month. He said that in the new constitution protection for minorities might be provided, but, in the end, they must protect them­selves. It was only as far as the minorities had got backbone and reasonableness and could make themselves indispensable· that they would be respected ultimately . The future of the Anglo-Indians, then, depends on the extent of their backbone and reasonableness. We believe that it is through education alone that these qualities can be won by any race of people :­education , which consists not merely in the preparing for examinations, but in the training of boys and girls, men and women, to play their parts as living members of a living universe. In the changes ,which are to come education surely is the bridge on which the peoples of Burma will pass from the old order to the new.

It is believing this, and believing that Government will npprove and in spite of financial stringency will continue to support us that, in a spirit of gratitude for the past and hope for the future, I ask yom Excellency to declare this building open. "

His Excellency, in the course of his speech, said : " I regard this as a very important and a very inspiring

occasion and one with which my wife and I are glad to be associated. It is true that it is not a new school which we are starting on its way this afternoon. It iS: ·merely a new school building, but it is a matter of great satisfaction to me that a school which already has such a long and honourable history behind it is now receiving a new lease of life in what Miss Petrie has well described as spacious and dignified surroundings. I have not the slightest doubt that .she is right in the importance she attached to surroundings of this kind as a factor in education. We are passing through difficult times. Almost every country in the world is suffering from unexampled trade depression and in India and Burma there is the additional complication of long drawn out controversy regarding political reform and uncertainty as to the outcome of that controversy. It is not surprising therefore that nerves are on edge, that there is a spirit of unrest abroad, and that minority com­munities look forward to the future with some misgiving. But

500

I believe it to be a temporary phase and that economic depression will pass away. I hope that the new constitution of Burma will satisfy all legitimate aspirations and that we will be able to utilise for constructive ends the growing nationalist feeling in Burma. Finally, I have no doubt that in that constitution, whatever it may be, appropriate safeguards will be provided for all minority communities in Burma. Never­theless, I venture to express my entire agreement with Miss Petrie that minority communities will find their best safeguard in fitting themselves by education to play their part in the new dispensation in Bnrma. I believe that this school has a valuable contribution to offer to this end and I like to think of the large numbers of girls who, as time goes on, will get their education within these walls."

Mr. J. P. Bulkeley, Director of Public Instruction, spoke next, addressing his remarks to the girls of the School. He said he was gratefully honoured in being invited to speak on that great occasion. Sometimes, he was inclined to think that people spent too much money on bt>ildings for schools and not enough on those working the schools. Perhaps he thought'that because he was once a schoolmaster. He referred to two schools he had visited last month. One was at Pakkoku and the other at Magwe. The Pakkoku school was under Buddhist manage­ment. It was built_ entirely of- mat and thatch, and the roof was full of holes. The six class rooms were held in paddy godowns, with no windows except holes in the walls, and that was a school which sent young men to the University and won scholarships in Middle and High School examinations. That school was doing good work and it was housed as he had described. The Magwe school was housed in the same way. He mentioned that so that they might realise how lucky the girls were in getting that building. He said he would follow the example of Miss Petrie by asking them to make themselves worthy of the building. He warned them against the spirit of exclusiveness, whose common name was snobbery. He appealed to them that in a country of many races they must co-operate. The girls of that school had happy faces. and a happy spirit went with the spirit of service. They could not have happiness without love and service. The spirit of that school in the past had been a spirit of obedience to God and a spirit of service, and he begged of them to keep that spirit up always. He asked the girls not to be content with negative virtues, but to take a high view of life and have high ideals. That spirit of God was the most permanent thing in the world, and, so long as it continued in the school, there need be no fear for the future.

501

The Bishop said that he had been given a very pleasant duty to carry out and that was to propose a vote of thanks to His Excellency for being present and for the kind words be bad uttered. As Miss Petrie had said, without His Excellency's great help and sympathy that building would never have come into being. His Excellency having laid the foundation stone of the building last year, it was nothing but right that he should open it on its completion. His Lordship said that he might say how delighted they all were to see Lady Innes with them again. She had that happy gift to be able to make every one feel at home and very happy. In the name of the Board of Governors, the Principal, and staff, he offered their very grateful thanks to Their Excellencies for their presence that afternoon.

His Lordship then asked the assembly to join in prayer for the school.

THE NEW BUILDING.

The new buildings of the Rangoon Diocesan Girls' High School are on the site which will be best known to old residents as the Compound of the Officers' Mess of the British Infantry Regiment. The site has an area of about four acres and has a natural slope towards the south .

The buildings are arranged around a quadrangle 147 ft. x 127 ft. on the northern half of the site, leaving the southern half of the site as a playing field . Two tennis courts are provided in the quadrangle and the playing field will be sufficiently large for all school games.

All departments of the school have been included under one roof. At the same time the building has been so planned that it naturally divides into the required departments.

The School block is on the south and includes principal's and secretaTy·~ offices, waiting hall, book store, cloak room, 14 class rooms, each 20 ft. x 22 ft., common rooms, library, art room, music room, cookery room, prefects' room, etc.

The Assembly Hall block is on the east and includes the hall, 76 ft. x 45 ft . with a gallery of nine tiers, a platform, 30 ft. x 20 ft. and retiring rooms. A cinema projector room is provided. The ball will accommodate about 750 persons.

The Kindergarten block is situated on the north-east, and comprises one large room, 60 ft: x 30 ft., and three class rooms, each 30 ft. x 20 ft., with necessary store rooms, etc. Provision h::i.s been made in this department for the inclusion of small boys.

THE MISSION TO THE BLIND OF BURMA. In a letter to the local Press urging people to attend a

Charity Concert, Mrs. Booth-Gravely, President of the Advisory Committee of the Mission , writes :-

" The work carried on under the wonderful guidance and care of the Rev. W. H . Jackson is indeed worthy of the support of the generous public. Owing to the appeal for the Earthquake Sufferers and I myself having appealed on behalf of the Widows and Orphans who suffered in Pegu, the Blind School has been rather neglected and we are badly in need of funds for our current expenses. Apart from the fact that we need Rs. 50,000 to enable us to obtain better building accom­modation which we are hoping to achieve in a year or mare's time, this Blind School has its small Branches all over Burma under the care of the Rev. W. H . Jackson as well as the St. Raphael's Girls' School at Moulmein, added to . which the " After Care _" of the blind is a very important part of the expenditure. Those of you who have never seen tlie work that is being carried on in the Blind School at Kemmendine should go and see for yourselves what these unfortunate people are taught and trained to do. Thanks to many of the leading shops in Rangoon who give standing orders for large and small cardboard boxes and other orders coming in for baskets of all kinds, chicks, lined and unlined, coir mats, and mending of cane chairs, etc., these workshops are kept very busy. The Rev. W. H. Jackson has also himself trained some of his blind men to tune pianos, and I believe one or two are now available for this purpose. The upkeep of the Mission to the Blind amot1nts to Rs. 70,000 yearly, out of which we receive from the Government Rs. 16,000. The rest has to be obtained through the generosity of the public." ·

SIR RICHARD TEMPLE. " Dicky " Temple, who died on March 2nd in Switzerland

at the age of 80, is well-known to all who have any interest or acquaintance with Oriental studies.

He came to Burma during the last Anglo-Burmese War, and after King Thebaw's deposition was appointed Cantonment Magistrate of Mandalay. Later he became Chief Commissioner of the Andamans and Nicobars, and he held this post till his retirement in 1904. He compiled the Census Reports of Burma for 1891 and of the Andamans for 1901. He was interested in demonology and published a beautifully illustrated study of the" Thirty-seven Nats of Burma."

He valued very highly the work done by the Rev. G. Whitehead in connection with the customs and traditions of the South Chins and of the Nicobarese. When Mr. Whitehead published his book "In the Nicobar Islands" in 1924, Sir Richard wrote a long and appreciative Preface.
