^[paragraph strikethrough]^ I worked at the Glasgow lecture – a tiresome performance, for the subject bores me terribly, and I am by no means clear as to what I want to say.
After lunch I walked in the Park, where a football match between the Lightfoot Institute and the Auckland Butcher Boys was in progress. I called to inquire after Harold Bryden, & found him still very ill.
^[paragraph strikethrough]^ Lionel and I motored to Tudhoe Grange, where I confirmed 205 persons in an asphyxiating atmosphere. The church was thronged, & the ventilation hopeless. The candidates came from five parishes viz:
| Tudhoe Grange | 6869 inhabitants |
| Tudhoe | 6000 " |
| Spennymoor | 6030 " |
| Whitworth | 3285 " |
| Merrington | 3300 " |
| – | 25,484 |
^[paragraph strikethrough]^ More than 500 persons reached the age of 14 last year; so that the number presented was about 40 per cent of the what it ought to have been. Yet this is above the average.
Gore sent me a post card acknowledging my Lock Lecture.
"I have read it with interest, and a large measure of agreement, though I never cd rest satisfied with C.L.'s individualism".
