The Surveyor (Mr. Rogers) said one case of infectious disease had been notified in the parish since the last meeting. The cleansing of the Lemon was seen to be proceeded with. Mr. Shapley complained that the conduit that supplies the town with water was again out of repair. The Surveyor was requested to give it his attention. There had been no further complaints of damage to the public lamps since the last meeting. Mr. Gauge wrote asking that a new lamp might be fixed to light the back road at Polybank’s buildings.

Highweek: Mr. W. S. Pinsent presided at the monthly meeting of the Parish Council. — The sanitary report showed that there was no infection or disease in the parish. Nothing had yet been done to the cleansing of the Lemons. — The Surveyor drew attention to a stream of water rising on the Abbotbury estate, and which was complained of by the residents in the newly built cottages as being offensive. He was directed to give the matter attention and report at the next meeting. At the suggestion of Mr. Wright, it was thought desirable to extend the area of watering and cleansing of the streets, but as it will involve additional expenditure it was allowed to stand over for the present. There had been no communication from Bearne as to the widening of the footpath at Heath Cottage, in the Highweek-road. — The Lighting Committee complained of several of the public lamps having been broken. A reward was directed to be offered for the discovery of the offenders. — lt was decided not to take steps to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Jarvis on the Council until after the next meeting. — The basis of a county rate was received from the County Council and found to be a little in excess last year. — The following were appointed Charity Commissioners: — Messrs. J. Segar, L. Shilston, G. C. Vicary, Vicary, and Wright.

Commemoration Day at Denstone College: Wednesday was Commemoration Day at Denstone College, when there was a large gathering of parents and friends of the boys. Service in the chapel was conducted by the provost (the Rev. A. Talbot, M.A.). The preacher was the Bishop of Southampton, Provost of Lancing. The distribution of prizes subsequently took place in the large schoolroom. The Provost of Denstone presided, and amongst others present were the Bishop of Southampton, the Ven. Archdeacon Lane, Sir Arthur and Lady Heywood, and the Misses Heywood, Miss Ethel Heywood, Mia Monies Heywood, the Hon. Mr. Alexander, Lady Pinsent, Canon Madan, Mr. Raikes (Unionist candidate for West Derbyshire), and Mrs. Raikes, the Rev. F, Wrottesley, the Rev. F. A. Hibbert (Headmaster of Worksop), and the Rev. D. Edwardes (Headmaster of Denstone.) The provost explained that they had been unable to proceed with the erection of the new science block during the year, as he had hoped to do, mainly because their architect (Mr. Bertram Heywood) had had to go out to the war in command of the Manchester Company of volunteers. They now hoped to include in the new science building a training college for secondary masters, which they were told was one of the crying needs of the time, and a preparatory school for younger boys. He claimed that they had justified their position as a great public school, by turning out not only strong and good men, but learned men. — The Headmaster reported that during the year 108 new boys had entered the school, nearly twice the usual number. Six boys had gained scholarships and exhibitions at Oxford and Cambridge, and in the higher certificates examination they had gained 19 certificates and 10 distinctions. Two more scholarships were gained at the Universities by Denstonians in residence there; nine had taken their degrees in honours and one had gained the gold medal at Dublin. The prizes were distributed by Lady Heywood, to whom a vote of thanks was afterwards accorded on the motion of the Archdeacon of Stoke — The school choir having sung the school song “Carmen Denstonenes” the company adjourned for luncheon to the dining hall; the President presided: …
