A Opinion It was recently announced that women, who at present constitute three per cent, of the membership of the Institute of Patentees, are now eligible for election to the Council. lam told that there may be a few such nominations at the next meeting.

The Council surveys inventions after they have been provisionally patented; and it is felt that, in addition to the expert advice already available, a opinion may be very helpful, especially with appliances and utensils designed to lessen drudgery in the home. One instance in which another judgment might have been welcomed by the inventor is afforded by a new patent for waterproof gloves. These are in a light transparent material for wear over ordinary gloves during heavy rain. Underground Posters With the Whitsuntide holiday at hand, tw posters showing easily-accessible beauty spots are attracting more than a passing glance from passengers on the Underground. In one, a pair of hawthorn trees, their huge branches intermingling, are covered with blossom that looks like a dazzling load of snow.

The setting given by Gregory Brown is an unnamed village green encircled by cheerful houses that may have its counterpart in a score of places little more than tw enty miles from London.

I hear that these same films left London for Birmingham this afternoon. Wo saw columns of German troops marching into Oslo; endless lines of helmeted. men moving relentlessly on, and the population fleeing in panic.

This is what an invasion women and children scrambling on to vehicles of any kind, just as they are, with no food and no bedding, and able to take nothing with them; only conscious of their terror before the grey invaders. The bombing of Namsos causes wonder at the pluck of the cinema men who could calmly work their cameras in that inferno. There are people crouching under trees, planes overhead, the town going up in flames, stretcher-bearers hastening to collect the dead and wounded. Columns of print could not explain so vividly what Hitler and his armies have done to a small peaceable country. BOOKS RECEIVED FICTION fieinen By eorKe Hannon Coxe.

The school began in prosperous times when it was computed that 100,000 people worked in the jewellery quarter. Birmingham was known as the maker of cheap goods; and in a way that was to credit, for machinery had to be created to produce cheap ware, and that needed accuracy and good workmanship. But the city lacked a tradition of design, and jewellers, representing one of the most powerful trades in the town, advocated a school. The Central School of Art was already in existence, but in those days was generally limited to painting or sculpture. The first move was, however, in co-operation with the Central School.

It was holding evening classes at an elementary school in Ellen Street in the district, and classes for jewellers and silversmiths were added to the curriculum in 1888. Two teachers who knew the trade and had also been students at the Central School were appointed. Two years of these classes showed that it was not enough to make drawings; a workshop was needed, too. There was none at the lEllen Street schools; so the city took over old factory premises in Vittoria Street. Alterations were made; another appointed, and jewellers and silversmiths gave machinery and apparatus.

The school gradually extended. It used to have three rooms; now it has fifteen. With the last war came some slackening pupils joined the Services or went into munition thev ere very useful since they had in accuracy. After the war came a slumD in the jewellery trade. The motor, wireless and electrical trades were developing, and jewellers entered those, where again their accuracy niado xlioin useful.

Jewellery work lias in. some sense never recovered for, though the output is greater more machinery has been introduced and so fewer men aie needed. But designers are still necessary, for, if you are to produce large numbers of articles pattern, it is important that the pattern shall be adequate. Also. a way cheap jewellery kills itself.

People get sick of one popular design. You must have constant changes again means that designers are needed. Three Types of Students Three types of students attend the Between two and three hundred people (a few women) employed in the trade come mainly in the evening. The position is unsatisfactory. A commission which examined technical education in the chief Continental countries found that all workers had either full-time technical training till they were sixteen or part-time training up to eighteen, Germany had this system thirty years ago.

That is why she is able to turn out so many good technicians. Czechoslovakia had it, and that made her able to flood the world with In England attendance is vohmtarv. The apprentice system is almost dead. This means that an adolescent is not bound to his master, and so a master who sends a boy to school in work-time may lose him when he is trained and some other factory offers a higher wage. Thus, masters are not willing to let boys come in the day-time; yet, if they come at night, as most of them do.

they have no leisure and are too tired to gain the utmost from the training. The headmaster hopes that presently technical training in the day-time will become compulsory. Other classes are held for boys between eleven and fourteen from sdhools of the twenty from each of five schools. They pass a test before they come, and attend for handiwork lessons four hours a week for two years, thus gaining familiarity with the tools they will probably use later in the trade. There is also a junior school for boys between twelve and sixteen, for which an examination is taken, as it is to a secondary school.

The ninety of general subjects, and also arts and crafts. Certain scholarships are given; the Company in London is a benefactor. Afterwards, at seventeen or eighteen, the boys may spend half time at the school and half in the trade. By twenty or twentyone they are ready to work for the trade entirely or to become teachers. Some have gone to teach gold and silver work in art schools.

The junior school is evacuated to Tewkesbury; and classes for students in the trade opened a month late last autumn because of the needs of the The building now has its own air raid shelter. It has lost older students and also the foreign students it used to have from Scandinavia, Holland, Germany and countries of the Far East. But the boys of sixteen and seventeen have along riding their bicycles through the Since the British Industries Fair did not take place this year, the school could not send its usual exhibits to London. Some work is being shown at the present exhibition at Birmingham Art Gallery, and in July there will be a special display at the school. I saw some of the work on the walls of the drawings of common objects and tools, designs for enamels, designs for silverwork.

Natural forms are used for patterns. Before the war, Birmingham parks used to send leaves and flowers that were not needed up to the Central School each week, and these were distributed among the other art schools. Because of lack of labour this has temporarily been suspended; but the school has birds, rabbits and fowls in its yard and live and stuffed animals are borrowed. not much play for tho imagination in the headmaster said. try to get the boys to use A compliment to the school is the fact that most Birmingham jewellery and silverware designers once attended it.

G. F. FOOD EXHIBITION OPENED AT WOLVERHAMPTON PROVIDING A BALANCED DIET Lady the wife of General Sir James Wilton yesterday opened a food exhibition at the Technical College, Wolverhampton. She said the proper use of food, and avoidance of waste, can play an important part in maintaining a healthy morale on the home front, as well as making a direct contribution to the Avar effort. The exhibition was not merely a choice ar i kes set out for inspection, but told the full story of the National Food campaign, by illustrating hoiv housewives can best secure a balanced diet under rationing, provide a variety of tasty dishes, and prevent Avaste.

G. In continuation of the historical record of the Birmingham Corporation, the General Purposes Committee of the City Council has just published Volume (in two parts), compiled by Mr. J. Trevor Jones. The first volume, published in 1878, carried the history of Birmingham up to 1852, and the second, published in 1885, dealt with the years 1852-1884.

Both of these were the work of the late J. Thackray Bunce. The third volume, published in 1902, dealt with the years 1885-1899, and the fourth, issued in 1923, carried the story on to 1915. These were compiled by the late Charles A. Vince.

The latest volume covers a period of twenty years (to March 31, 1935). five years longer than either of the two preceding volumes, with a substantial increase in tho number of chapters. The authorities used in the compilation of these records are tho proceedings of the City Council (which include reports presented by committees) and the financial statements published annually by the City Treasurer. for this apparel. 20 Oppose a sister.

WIZARD OF OZ DECAY OF STANDARDS AT HOME VILLAGE CHORAL SOCIETIES WAR-TIME ENERGY In the words of Mrs. Prickle. That there Hitler going to stop the choral if the village knew anything about And so in spite of the war and of bad winter weather, which added so many difficulties to life in the country, the village choral society continued. For many years it has been one of the main winter interests of the Cotswold village. On the walls of the Institute room where practices are held are photographs in which one may recognise Mrs.

Prickle and other members of the society in musical festivals nine and ten years ago. For the weekly practices have always had an end in festival competition organised by the Rural Community Council, held usually in the spring. I suppose you imagined last September that be here to-day, I said to Mrs. Prickle a little time ago when I met her, music in hand, advancing on the local town hall, where a festival was about to be held. she replied, thtought get here Her spirit was that of five or six other widely-separated villages.

It was found impossible to organise the festival on the large scale of former years; so these villages decided to compete in a smaller musical group. One felt that their decision and their attendance on competition day were not the least of wartime victories. Mrs. Prickle and friend had undertaken at the outbreak of -war to black-out the Institute windows. From here and there they had unearthed dark curtains, and the results, if not artistic, were satisfactory.

In another village someone had given up a room in her house for the use of the choir, for it had been difficult to screen the windows in that hall. I could imagine weekly practices going on in spite of make-do curtains, much as they had done when I sang with the choral society a couple of years ago. The chairs would be drawn round the fire in a circle, and the piano (with its painted front and notes which were inclined to stick) opened. On the walls would be the same photographs and certificates, and on one wall the old plaque with its inscription; Plowmen and shepherds' have I found And more than once, and still could find Sons of God and Kings of men, In utter nobleness of mind. A Fine Day In peace time we had often complained of the difficulty of getting people out in the evenings.

We had, as a lazy generation, listened rather incredulously to stories of the old days in the country, when old Mr. father of one of the present members, would drive ten miles in an open trap through a blizzard to hear a performance of at Stow-on-theyWold. I felt, as I listened to stories of last winter, that there had been many feats vying with his achievement. was one said a singer, when the hill down into the village Was just one sheet of glass. I slid down year Tve used to complain of the draughts in the said another, even when we being so careful of the coal.

But somehow this winter people seem to mind things as much as they used to voices have nearly always been scarce in most villages, and this season, naturally, many of the younger voices were missing. Some men have been called up; others have been too busy on the land to spare time for the competition. But a system of pooling what tenors remained between the villages was an ingenious scheme. Some choirs were increased by the addition of evacuated people, who were glad to take part in what was, for some of them, a new experience. A concert of the competition music sung by combined choirs has traditionally ended the festival, and it was held this year at an earlier hour so that people might reach home before the was a fine said Mrs.

Prickle, as she climbed on to the homeward bound bus. enjoyed it as much as ever we have done and perhaps M. F. FREEDOM OF BOYS AND GIRLS TRUSTHD MORE THAN THEY USED TO BE The annual meeting of the Council of the Lichfield Diocesan Association for Moral Welfare Work was held at Stafford yesterday. The Bishop of Shrewsbury said that the subject or sex had been rescued from the Victorian atmosphere in which it used to be surrounded, and boys and girls are trusted more than they used to be.

However, they must be equipped for that or their freedom a na liberty will become something like licence. This emancipation was far better than the old conspiracy of silence on the part of the older people and repression among young people, but it is dangerous and the pendulum could swing too far. I am old-fashioned enough to believe that even to-day there is room for reserve in these matters, he said. I like to hear young people discussing the problems of marriage and birth control as though they are no more difficult to discuss than cabbages and RELEASE OF AMERICAN FANTASY FILM An odd reflection on the modern method of mixing entertainments is to be found in the recent habit of broadcasting films. Long before a picture is due for general release the music and dialogue are broadcast on the radio and we find ourselves in a paradoxical position of hearing a film before it is seen.

Tunes from The Wizard of Oz have for weeks been whistled on the streets although the film has only just begun the round of local cinemas. This gratuitous publicity whets anticipation, and in the case of The Wizard of Oz the event comes up to expectation. The story is to Americans what Alice in Wonderland is to the English. The American tale is the more objective of the two: dialogue is less speculative and action more vigorous, and for these reasons alone The Wizard of Oz is better suited to the films than Alice in The American heroine is literally blown into fairyland. A tornado whisks her from the everyday routine of her farmhouse and deposits her in the fabulous realm of Oz.

Here she falls in with the Scarecrow, the Man made of metal, and the Lion. The quartet makes its way along the fantastic highways of Oz to the shrine of the Wizard where requests are grantedalong the practical lines of American ethics. Progress to the shrine is impeded by the Witch, a reincarnation of the local nuisance down on the farm. As faerie-love and moonshine go, the Oz variety is not of the highest order. The inhabitants appear to be revelling to instruction; keeping both feet on the ground lest an overdose of fantasy should make them lightheaded.

The fun, however, is of a brisker sort. The Lion has several excellent outbursts of fearful fooling. His operatic declamation of what he would do if he were King is a brilliant bit of burlesque. On the spectacular side, too, the film rises to the occasion. The approach to the presence of the Wizard, through the ranks of a barbaric platoon of grotesque guards, is a comic-opera manoeuvre, as original as it is exhilarating.

the shrine itself, signs and wonders are wrought with a ful chemical complement of coloured smoke and the clanging of brazen cauldrons. Orthodox pantomime magic is out-hued and overshadowed by this wholesale wizardry of the studios. 'When the portents die down and the smoke subsides the Wizard of Oz is revealed, i- part the game that the initiated keep silent as to what they have ee A The fil is tvell worth a visit bot for its disclosure of the secret and for its spectacular display.

K. SNOW AND THE POST OFFICE the midlands in JANUARY An article in The Post Office Electrical describing the damage done to telegraph wires by the storm of last January, compares the weather in the Midlands with that of March, 1916. Then, snow and wind, heavy and strong enough to uproot whole pole routes; now, snow and ice, but happily very little wind excepting in the Bridgnorth corner of the area. The snowfall, probably the heaviest in this part of the country in living memory, coming during the greatest frost in nearly fifty years, rendered many roads both in town and rural districts entirely impassable to transport, and therefore seriously impeded the repair operations. These conditions continued until the following week-end, when they were eased slightly by a slow thaw lasting for two days only, when a return of the Arctic conditions occurred.

Some interesting exhibits of the storm were many single wires found in the Worcester and Evesham Control Areas, neatly centred in a covering of ice BVsin. in diameter, weighing 31b. to the foot. 11 As these ice-bound conditions continued for a week after the snowfall, and in some areas trees and thick branches brought down by weight of snow and ice were strewn across roads and the routes, some idea can be obtained of the difficulties that had to be contended with by the staff in their efforts during this period to effect repairs. Of a total of 145,000 stations in the area, the maximum numbers of lines and junctions out of service at any one period were approximately 6,200 and 275 respectively.

The number of poles broken amounted to 170, and over 2,000 were deflected. Approximately 2,300 miles of tvire were brought down, and 4,000 miles required re-regulating. In an area in which the fault rate had been consistently declining month by month, until in the month prior to the storm it fell to the record low level of 1.19, the publication of the subsequent statistics is not being looked for with the same pleasurable ANSWEBS TO CORRESPONDENTS Hetlaw Speaking on the text, Guard that which is committed to he reminded them how Browning, recalling past heroism, wrote: Whoso turns as I this evening, turns to God to praise and We should turn to Him in no spirit of jingoism, boastfulness or race glorification but to pray that we may be worthy of the sacrifice and duty nobly done by those who went before us. From them we inherited a faith that is- catholic; an expression of that faith that enshrines the best in English thought and devotion; our cathedrals and parish churches; a code of justice that is a model for the world; a form of government that even in war rests on the will of the people an educational system that more and more is giving equal opportunity; inventions which but for the devilish ingenuity of the human mind would lighten labour and give time for recreation; and our tradition of home life. As a combatant in the last he said, 11 I never realised how difficult it is to be a civilian in war time.

We were keyed up by excitement, buoyed up by a sense of danger and possibility of achievement, bound together in a happy comradeship with other like-minded young fellows. I had no conception then, as I have now as a parish priest, of the loss of spiritual values, the tarnishing of ideals, the lowering of moral standards, and the stretching of human nerves and the consequent hysteria which war brings in its train. Nation at its Fireside As I see it we are in real danger to-day of losing some of those worthwhile things which down the centuries have come to us. It is high time a stand was made about it, and the Union, through its branches, can make it. Deterioration has already set in in those very ideals which your Lnion exists to It was seen, he said, in worship.

The last war sent the nation to its knees; in this, the black-out sent the people to their firesides. He thought at first it was fear of air raids that prevented them from assembling in public worship, but having lately been to the cinema he found he was wrong. He urged them to lead their families and encourage their neighbours, by their example, back to public worship and prayer. I note with growing he said, a sweeping decline in essential decency, a deterioration in thought and speech. The 8.8.C.

seems to be going downhill. If you have sons and daughters in their teens, as I have, who ask the meaning of some of the so-called jokes which come over the ether, and feel yourself constrained to try and explain, you will agree. As for the programmes turned out for the Forces, 1 can only repeat what a young fellow on leave from France said to me the other day The 8.8.C., from the stuff they are putting over, appears to think we are all blinking must have the black-out, but when broadcasting, the music-hall, the illustrated paper and the gutter Press all conspire to abolish all kind of decency of thought, then the black-out assumes far more hideous possibilities. We have the light evenings of summer before us now. Can you mothers, pledged to support the sanctity of marriage in thought and word as well as in act, pledge yourselves to help your parish priests, through the Friendly Society, clubs, recreation centres and so on, to check this rapid deterioration in the minds of our young people? The festival service, which followed choral communion, attended by the Bishop (who gave the the Provost and twenty-one clergy.

The cathedral was filled by members from fiftytwo branches of the Union in the diocese. There was a solemn procession in which the banners of nearly thirty branches were taken to the chancel before the service began. A similar service is to take place to-day, when as many branches again will attend. BROADCASTING The war commentary to-night will be fiven hr Air Chief Marshal Sir Edgar iudlow-Hewitt.
