Appeal on behalf of the Outward Bound Trust, by John Mills
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should he addressed to John Mills, Esq.[address removed]
The Outward Bound Trust develops and guides a boy's spirit of adventure by confronting him with stiff tasks to perform in natural conditions at sea and on land (storm, wind, and fog included). The tests of endurance, physical and mental effort, perseverance. and team-spirit, although hard, are almost always overcome, for the boy is conditioned by increasingly intensive training. The result is a wider realisation of true manhood. The need now is to meet the greatly increased demand for these unique short courses by providing and running more schools.

by Robert Birley, Headmaster of Eton, formerly Educational Adviser to the British Military Governor in Germany.
Mr. Birley's first lecture dealt with the problem of reconciling patriotism with loyalty to a new European union.
In his second lecture, he shows how, in the past, Britain has twice exerted a positive and profound influence upon European culture, namely in the eighth and the eighteenth centuries. He explains why this was, and shows how Britain has been more and more cut off from European developments since the eighteenth century. This makes it very difficult for her to understand European problems today.
This lecture is to be printed in The Listener dated November 3
