GILBERT WILLIAM CHILD, M.D. Oxon.
The death of Dr. Child took place on December 1st, at his residence, Headington Hill, Oxford, after a long and trying illness. Dr. Child was a member of Exeter College, where he took his B.A. degree, obtaining a second class in Natural Science in 1854. He was Lecturer in Botany in the Medical School of St. George's Hospital, was at one time hon. physician of the Radcliffe Infirmary, and subsequently medical officer of health for Oxfordshire. He was the author of several essays and reports on sanitary questions, and was a public examiner in the School of Natural Science, as well as for the M.D. degree at Oxford.
In later years Dr. Child withdrew from practice, and devoted himself to historical research, in connection especially with the history of the Reformation in England, and produced a valuable work entitled Church and State under the Tudors. He was for many years an active member on the Court of the Clothworkers' Company, which he represented on the Council of Bristol University College. He was Master of the Company a short while since. He was also an active member of the Council of Somerville Hall. His loss will be deeply and widely felt for few men equalled him in kindliness and benevolence.

# British Medical Journal/1924/John McCaw

JOHN McCAW, M.D.,
Physician, Belfast Hospital for Sick Children.
It is with much regret that the announcement of the death of Dr. McCaw has been received in Belfast and Ulster. He had an illness about a year ago, and underwent a serious operation; from this he made a wonderful recovery and resumed his work. A short illness, however, proved fatal on February 22nd.
After studying medicine in Belfast he obtained the diplomas of L.R.C.P. and S.Ed. in 1879, and graduated M.D. of the Royal University of Ireland in 1883. Dr. McCaw's chief work was in the Queen Street Hospital for Sick Children, where he had been physician for forty-two years; and only a few weeks ago he was appointed a vice-president. He was also examiner and clinical lecturer in children's diseases in the Queen's University of Belfast, and he contributed several articles to the British Medical Journal and other professional journals. His little book, Aids to Diseases of Children, ran through five editions.
He was of a retiring nature, and several times refused the presidency of the local medical societies; but in the session of 1907–08 he held office as President of the Belfast Division of the British Medical Association and President of the Ulster Medical Society.
Dr. McCaw was much respected by many, both in the profession and among the public, and was beloved by all who had the privilege of his personal friendship. He leaves a widow and a son, Dr. Ivan McCaw, who was severely wounded in the war but is happily now nearly recovered; and deep sympathy is felt with them.

# Brookland Road

* information about this edition.
* sister projects: Wikidata item.
From Rewards and Fairies (1910), where it accompanies the story Marklake Witches.
I was very well pleased with what I knowed, I reckoned myself no fool —
Till I met with a maid on the Brookland Road, That turned me back to school.
 Low down — low down!  Where the liddle green lanterns shine —
 O maids, I've done with 'ee all but one,  And she can never be mine!
'Twas right in the middest of a hot June night, With thunder duntin' round, And I see her face by the fairy-light That beats from off the ground.
She only smiled and she never spoke, She smiled and went away; But when she'd gone my heart was broke And my wits was clean astray.
O, stop your ringing and let me be —
Let be, O Brookland bells! You'll ring Old Goodman out of the sea, Before I wed one else!
Old Goodman's Farm is rank sea-sand, And was this thousand year; But it shall turn to rich plough-land Before I change my dear.
O, Fairfield Church is water-bound From autumn to the spring; But it shall turn to high hill-ground Before my bells do ring.
O, leave me walk on Brookland Road, In the thunder and warm rain —
O, leave me look where my love goed, And p'raps I'll see her again!
 Low down — low down!  Where the liddle green lanterns shine —
 O maids, I've done with 'ee all but one,  And she can never be mine!

From volume 1 of the work.
​Accaron (Ekrôn), the most northern of t he five principal Philistine cities (Jos. xiii, 3; xv, 11, 46). We do not know whether it was founded by the Philistines or the Hevites. It was first given to the tribe of Juda ​(Jos., xv, 11, 45) and then to Dan (Jos., xix, 43). Juda conquered it for a time (Judg., i, 18), but it fell again into the hands of the Philistines. who brought here the captive ark of the covenant after it had passed through Azotus and Geth (I K., v, 10). It came near being reconquered by Israel after the defeat of Goliath (1 K., vii, 14). The city possessed a famous sanctuary of Beelzebub (IV K., i, 2, 3, 6, 10), and was often denounced by the prophets (Jer., xxv, 20; Am., i, 8; Soph., ii, 4; Zach., ix, 5). King Alexander Bales gave the city to Jonathan Machabeus (I Mach., x, 89). Robinson identified it with the village Akir, a station on the railway from Jaffa to Jerusalem.

# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Acanthus (plant)

From volume 1 of the work.
Also see acanthus
​Acanthus.—A plant, indigenous to middle Europe, the leaf of which has served in all ages as an ornament, or for ornamentation. There are two varieties, one wild and thorny, and one with soft branches without spines. The acanthus appears for the first time in the arts in ancient Greece. It was chosen for decorative purposes because of the beauty of its leaves, as well as for its abundance on Greek soil. At first it was taken directly from nature. Greek sculpture rendered it with truthful expression, whether of the soft or the spiky variety, showing the character, texture, and model of the leaf. During the fifth century b.c. the acanthus ornament took an important place especially in architecture, and was the principal ornament of the Corinthian capital. From the conquest of Alexander in the East can be traced the transformation of the acanthus that is found in later Eastern art.

# Boy Scouts and What They Do/How Sunday was spent

How Sunday was spent.
Sunday proved to be a by no means uneventful day at the Scouts' big camp at Perry Hall. Arrangements had been made for holding a church parade in camp, and under the direction of Lord Hampton, these were carried out satisfactorily, although rain somewhat curtailed the services held n the open. The Nonconformist Scouts had a service in one of the marquees, and the Roman Catholics attended Mass in good numbers. The Jewish boys went into Birmingham to public worship. There was a large attendance at the Church of England service, held at 11 o'clock.
At the close of the service, the Chief Scout inspected the boys present, after which he addressed them. Having expressed his pleasure at seeing so-many Scouts present. Sir Robert said he congratulated all who took part in the previous day's review on their conduct. Prince Arthur of Connaught had bees much impressed by it, and wished him to tell them that he was very pleased with all he saw. What struck Prince Arthur most was the way the Scouts stood—they bore themselves like old soldiers. The charge and everything else were well done. The boys were punctual in their places. He had also heard they had been behaving themselves well whilst in camp. He was pleased to be able to say these things to them. It was different from three or four years ago. It showed that Scouts had learnt discipline. ​He had noticed them in the streets, and seen how they behaved as all Scouts should, and was very pleased to see it. He wanted them to go on as they were doing. Let them make themselves capable of being Scout patrol leaders, so that they could take on other boys, and make them into good Scouts, too. If they did that they would be helping the movement, and helping him by spreading the movement.
Sir Robert then thanked the boys for their beautiful present of a motor-car to his wife and himself on the occasion of their marriage. It was a delightful thing to get a present from so many thousands of Scouts. Their thanks were due to Lord Glanusk and his staff for the way in which the camp had been provided for. It had entailed a tremendous lot of hard work.
Afterwards Sir Robert Baden-Powell gathered around him the Scout-masters, and briefly expressed his appreciation of their work. The attendance, he said, had exceeded all expectations,
An inspection of the foreign detachments of Scouts concluded the morning's events.
# Boy Scouts and What They Do/Foreword

Foreword.
This book does not pretend to give a full account of all that took place at Birmingham during the great Scout week in July, 1913.
It would take an edition the size of the "Encyclopedia Britannica" to do that!
This is merely a brief survey of what took place, with a few incidents that came to the notice of one individual there, and he not a very observant one at that!
Nor can any mention be made of the names of those men to whose faithful work the success of the event was entirely due.
If it were attempted this book would look like a Directory!
Everybody concerned worked like a Trojan.
The Chief Scout expressed his thanks to them for having done their duty, and that is all they expect.
The Chief Scout, the Editors of the "Headquarters Gazette," the "Scout," and the "Birmingham Daily Post," and various others, have written interesting accounts of what took place.
Many of the following pages have been taken from them without any further acknowledgment being made.
The Perthshire Band, which carried off the Band Prize.
# Boy Scouts and What They Do/Headquarters Gazette

The Editor of the "Headquarters Gazette" blows in.
I arrived at Birmingham late on the Tuesday evening before the Exhibition, and made my way at once to Bingley Hall, expecting to find a scene of bustle and confusion, and that we should have to work all night. To my great surprise, however, I found the Exhibition practically complete, and in order. On making inquiries I was told that, for the last few days, the Committee and officials had worked early and late, volunteers had slaved with their coats off, peers and other members of the nobility had been seen scrubbing and engaged in various lowly tasks, and the result of this spirit and enthusiasm, together with the plans laid carefully beforehand, was now on view.
Bingley Hall, on the eve of the Exhibition, appeared a splendid example of our Scouts' motto, "Be Prepared."
# Boy Scouts and What They Do/Kings Message

After the great Rally on July 5th, the Chief Scout received the following telegram from Buckingham Palace, in reply to a loyal greeting dispatched to His Majesty:
   "Am commanded by the King to congratulate you on the success of the Rally at Birmingham, and to thank you and all the Boy Scouts there assembled for your kind and loyal message."

The opening ceremony at Bingley Hall
(Notice the "Daily Scout" reporter on the extreme left of the reporters’ table)
The Opening Ceremony.
Bingley Hall, Birmingham, was full of Scouts, and friends of Scouts, on Wednesday, July 2nd, when Her Royal Highness Princess Alexander of Teck, accompanied by His Serene Highness Prince Alexander, came to declare the Exhibition opened.
Punctually at 2.30, their Royal Highnesses mounted the platform, on which were many Scout officers, and other friends of the movement.
The Lord Mayor, in welcoming the Royal guests, said: "I want to draw your attention to the very hearty welcome we all give you."
Princess Alexander of Teck next declared the Exhibition open, and then, amid real Scout cheers and great applause, the Chief stood up to propose a vote of thanks to the Princess. ◇◇
What the Chief Scout Said.
Scouts, said Sir Robert, whatever their age and size, were always doing other people good turns, but they did not always have good turns done to them, especially when they began, and he thanked their Royal Highnesses for doing them a very big good turn by coming to the Exhibition.
Prince Alexander, he said, was the forerunner of the Boy Scouts; for, in the days of the Matabele War, the Prince wore out his leggings, and fought through the rest of the campaign with bare legs!
He said that the present was the first exhibition at which boys had received prizes for work done, not in school, but in time, and it showed England what the Boy Scouts could do if they tried.
​In conclusion, the Chief Scout referred to the world-wide brotherhood of Scouts, "a brotherhood which knows no distinction of country, class, or creed."
The vote of thanks was seconded by colonel Wiggin, Commissioner for Warwick, who said he did not know whether Prince Alexander had tied a knot in his tie that morning, but, if so, he was certainly entitled to shake it out for having done such a good turn in coming to the Exhibition. ◇◇
Prince Alexander's Speech.
A hearty welcome was given to Prince Alexander, who referred to the pleasure it gave him to show his sympathy with the Scouts. That Exhibition, he thought, was a wonderful one, and it marked an important step in the development of the future usefulness of the Scout movement. It showed that it was of value in modern times by teaching boys handicrafts, doing what used to be done in the land when there was the apprenticeship system. No Scout ought to be numbered among the "Never Nevers."
Our Empire has been built up by individuals full of pluck and industry, using their talents on behalf of the nation, and he claimed that the Scout movement was training boys to be such individuals. It had been well said that a Briton was honest, clear in mind, self-reliant, courageous, considerate of the claims of all, and, above all, a lover of justice—and that was the ideal of the Boy Scouts.

Each Vayani has his recognised beat. He plays a prominent part in the celebration of the annual festival of the village goddess, and receives a sacred thread (kappu), which is usually tied to his mandoline, before the commencement of the festival. He regards himself as superior in social position to ordinary Mādigas, with whom he will not marry. The name Vayani is said to be a corruption of varnane, meaning to ​describe.

In the Madras Census Report, 1891, Velakkattalavan is said to be "the name in South Malabar of the caste that shaves Nāyars and higher castes. The same man is called in North Malabar Valinchiyan, Nāvidan, or Nāsiyan. In dress and habits the caste resembles Nāyars, and they call themselves Nāyars in the south. Many returned their main caste as Nāyar. The females of this caste frequently act as midwives to Nāyars. In North Malabar, the Valinchiyan and Nāsiyan follow the Nāyar system of inheritance, whereas the Nāvidan has inheritance in the male line; but, even amongst the latter, tāli-kettu and sambandham are performed separately by different bridegrooms. In South Malabar the caste generally follows descent in the male line, but in some places the other system is also found." Sūdra Kāvutiyan is recorded, in the Madras Census Report, 1901, as a synonym of Velakkatalavan.
