Upon his desk after his death seven separate drafts, and they were all very full drafts, of this address were found. In the margins of the pages little sums have been worked out--so many pages at three hundred words a page, four thousand, five thousand words; a full hour's talking, and still so much to say! There are little notes framed in a sort of Oxford frame of lines reminding him, for example, to 'say more of bringing scientific method into _all_ parts of school.' On the reverse of the pages of manuscript are trial restatements. He tried back several times to a fresh beginning. There is a page headed 'The New School,' and giving three headings: the first, which he afterwards marked as second, is, 'The faculty of each member shall be developed'; the second, which became the first, is 'Community service--no competition'; the third is, '_Outlook--aim_, more value than ability. Service. All are equal. The Spirit and the Bride say, Come. Let all that will, come.' Then we find him trying over his ideas about science under a heading, 'What we claim for science.' Under that are a number of interesting subheads:-- 'Its own value in the great discoveries. 'That its spirit is that of life, giving, changing, searching. (Marginal note:--without being deterred by any of the results which may follow.) 'It is "natural" to the vast number of boys. 'Very directly applicable to needs. 'That it has a language and a message. (Marginal note:--it seeks to test, to create new standards, to fearlessly rewrite knowledge.) 'The same spirit. (? as Christianity: Editor.) Finally he produced a draft which was at least his eighth. This he had printed and this he may have intended to read to the meeting. But he did not do so. In the end he spoke from a fresh set of notes, which must have been at least the ninth draft. That eighth draft is given in full in the official Life. His health had not been good for some time, and he kept this lecture and his exceptional interest in it more or less secret from his wife. He spent a long and interested morning at the experimental farm at Rothamsted, and in the afternoon he went to the opticians to get a new pair of spectacles and attended to other small businesses. He met a small party of us at the London University Club in Gower Street to take tea before lecturing. Sir Richard Gregory, the editor of _Nature_, was present, Major Church, the secretary of the National Union of Scientific Workers, and Dr. Charles Singer, the historian of classical science. Sanderson was evidently hot and rather tired, but he did not seem to be ill; he gossiped pleasantly with us and showed us his new spectacles. They were made of a recently discovered glass, opaque to ultra-violet rays and he betrayed the pride and interest of a boy in possessing them.
