MOUNTAIN CRAFTS GUILD CLUB MEETS

GEOLOGY OF RUAPEHU At the Cottage Tea Rooms a largely attended mee.ing of the Mountain Crafts Guild Club, organised under the auspices of the Auckland branch of , the Alpine Sports Club, was held last evening. The convener, Mr. J. 11. Rose, presided. Very interesting addresses were given, dealing with the geology of Ruapehu, by Professor J. A. Bartrum and Mr. O’Sullivan, and a description of the ascent of the Footstool, a wellknown peak close to the Hermitage, in the Southern Alps, was given by Mr. R. E. Aubin. After discussing the geological formation of Ruapehu, Professor Bartrum introduced Mr. O’Sullivan. Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe and Tongariro, said Mr. O'Sullivan, were situated on a line of weakness which extended through Rotorua to White Island. Part of an- i cient Ruapehu was present, but the final peak, Te Heii. Heu, was missing after the summit, from 7,000 feet upward, was blown off. It has since been built up again. A crater lake due to j steam and mineral water rising in the old crater and melting the glacier, has been formed Water soaks out through the scoria cone, passes under the Warigaehu glacier, and emerges as the sulphurous. Wangaehu River. Mangaturuturu River is also sulphurous, but the sulphur water comes from the springs in one tributary. The Waihohohu and Ohinepango streams emerge from lava flows. Speaking of his ascent of the FootStool, Mr. Aubin said that no matter how often a peak was climbed there were always new difficulties to be overcome. Although the conditions could be fairly accurately foretold by an experienced mountaineer, one could not be certain until one got there what ; any part of a mountain was really like j and in this uncertainty consisted, per- : haps, one of the chief charms of mouu- j Aa-ineering. a* j

SIR GEORGE FOWLDS ADDRESSES PENWOMEN

CHAIRMANSHIP AND PROCEEDURE At a meeting of the League of Penwomen yesterday afternoon Sir George Fowlds gave a most interesting address on the art of chairmanship. “The principles and rules that govern chairmanship have been built up, precedent upon precedent, and generation upon generation, until chairmanship has reached a stage now where it can almost be called an exact science,” said the speaker in outlining the duties of a chairman. He must be absolutely conversant with the’rules of procedure, and in the absence of any specific rules for a particular meeting he should use the standard principles laid down by the national Government or Parliament of his country. If satisfactory decisions at any meeting wore to be arrived at the chairman should be invested with great power and authority, while his chief qualification should bo absolute impartiality. Ho should cultivate tlio ideal of the judicial spirit and temperament. At the conclusion of his address a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the .speaker for Lis address.

It had not only resulted in the foundation of a Chair of Obstetrics, but it had shown what can bo done when women join together for the common good. It had united North and South in mutual friendship and understanding. They looked forward with confidence to the incalculable good that must come of the travelling scholarship founded out of the surplus collected. “I would like to assure you,” said Lady Ferguson in conclusion, “that the selection committee has been well chosen. It consists of prominent obstetricians and gynecologists in Britain and Ireland, and the final selection will be in the hands of the Obstetrical Society of New Zealand and the faculty of the University of Otago.” There were present the Mayoress.
