(gbitodal the last issue of The Vigornian events have happened which are of great importance to the School. In the early part of the year the question of Amalgamation was kept before the public, and the Charity Commissioners finally resolved to send Mr. Lefroy, Assistant Commissioner, to investigate the scheme. On Feb. 6th he held
PRICE 6d.
an enquiry at the Guildhall and heard the arguments on both sides. We were ably represented by Canon Melville and the Head Master, and on the whole amalgamation seemed then to have more foes than friends, a fact which has been more strikingly seen since, as no one has uttered a word in its favour. Nothing more has been heard from the Commissioners, and we rest content with the knowledge that our governors will not allow any harm to befall the School entrusted to them.
The internal life of the School has gone peacefully on, undisturbed by outward commotions. We have lost Mr. C. D. Locock, whose place has been filled by Mr. H. C. T. Franklin, whose kindly energy in and out of school has already won golden opinions from everybody. The Rev. E. V. Hall has also left us, accompanied, as will be seen elsewhere, by a slight recognition of the many years' labour he expended over the singing class. Of his successor we can only say that if the class take as much pains to learn as Dr. Wareing does to teach they will find that the result will amply reward their exertions.
