The Editors welcome contributions for publication from all sources. Ehillifiill It is nice to get letters to the paper and to be able to start a Correspondence column. especially when the letters take the form of criticism and replies to remarks which we have made in our pages. yVe have felt for some time that this paper was getting its own way too much and not getting as much contradiction as was good for it. It was high time someone sat up and called its a liar and we hope the example will be followed. VVe ought to have a correspondence column in every issue with at least two controversies, raging with attacks and counter-attacks. Anyone who writes things in papers is a fair mark for criticism. He needn't do it. He isn't forced to. He just does it because he thinks he knows what he's talking about and wants people to believe that he does. He can't complain if people criticize what he is so eager to tell them. So why not think out some- thing nasty to say to him and let him have it. Try to persuade everyone that, as a matter of fact, he doesn't know what he's talking about. Then he'll write in the next issue and say that he takes exception to what you wrote about him and is willing to p1'ove that what you said is untrue. All you've got to do then is to write to the next issue after that and say that he has misunder- stood you, that you didn't say he was an absolute fool: all you said was that he had very little sense. And so it goes on and everybody wants to know what X is go- ing to reply to the very scathing remarks which A. N. Other made about him in the last Reco1'd. In course of t'me. when no trace of the original subject of the ar- gument can be found, the Editor politely thrusts the two antagonists from the stage to make room for a bout be- tween Fair Play and Worried over a passage in the fcimer's article in your last issue which struck the latter as a grave overstatement of the truth . Be- sides the pleasure of seeing your very cutting remarks in print, you will have the additional triumph of know- ing that your victim can't reply to you and clear up the smirch on his good name for a fortnight. and that meanwhile your letter is daily holding him up to the iidicule of his fellows and rankling like a thorn in the flesh which he can't pull out until the next copy of the Record appears. The natives of Central Africa play a game in which each player is allowed three or four good cracks at his opponent with a big stick but is not allowed to strike again until he has received as many cracks himself. The leading players assure us that the pain of receiving is nothing to the pleasure of having just received and feeling that for the time being you have things all your own way and can just start in, in a leisurely way and give of your best. We offer you the same pleasure. heightened by the feeling that you will be affording great excitement to your fellow readers. Qfliaiprl Xutrs The Offertory in Chapel at Woodstock on Sunday, February 3rd, was devoted to the fund being raised in Canada for the Relief of the Distress among the Miners in South Wales, and a cheque for sixty-nine dollars and eighty-five cents was sent to the Globe, who are taking charge of this fund. 05121 liugs' Safes The Annual General Meeting of The Trinity Col- lege School Old Boys' Association was held in the Alex- andra Room, the King Edward Hotel, Toronto, after the Annual Dinner. The President, Mr. P. E. Henderson, was in the chair. There were about 80 Old Boys pres- ent. The President read his report for 1928 as follows: During the year notices of School Matches and other activities were sent to the members of the As- sociation. The Record is now published fortnightly during the School terms, and copies will be sent to all mepnbers of the Association in good standing. Now that the Record is to appear at these frequent intervals, notices of School activities will not be sent out by he Association but will appear in the Record . Old Boys will be much interested in noting the marked improvements in the School paper, and I would like to take this opportunity of congratulating those Masters who are editing and financing the new Rec- ord , and feel quite sure that their efforts will be sup- ported by communications from Old Boys with any news of interest. The publication of the Old Boys' Directory, which was approved at the last Annual Meeting of the Assoc- iation, has been unavoidably delayed, but the work is noir in hand and it will be published as soon as pos- sib e. The prizes for the Athletic Events at the School were again presented by different Old Boys, and the Association followed its previous custom of presenting six School prizes on Speech Day. The Life of Sir Wm. gsllerg was again presented by the Head Prefect of the c ioo .

TRINITY t'Ol.I.E The Association has been able to prove its useful- ness during the past year in sending out information in Connection with the fire which destroyed the School on the third of March, as well as advising the Old Boys about the re-establishment ofthe School at Woodstock. The records ot' the Association were placed at the dis- posal ofthe Building Committee to enable them to reach the Old Boys. The Building Committee which was formed short- ly after the fire, is, like the Governing Body of the School, composed largely of Old Boys: and I would like to take this opportunity of expressing the keen apprec- iation of this Association for the invaluable work of those gentlemen who are not Old Boys and who have come forward so generously with their support during GE SCIIOOI. RECORD 7 the last year. The membership of the Association is steadily in- ciezisingz the annual nicniln-rs now nuinber 242. an-l life-members 1352. In this connection I would like if point out that life members' fees are invested in Sgliuui llonds, and the increase in this class of nn-nibersliip rn:- terially helps the School. lt has been suggested that the surplus reventit- of Old Boys' Association might be applied towards the re- duction of certain office expense iiecessarily incurred bv the Building Committee, so that supporters nf the Bnilding Fund would feel that even the present small anount incuired in these office expenditures would be reduced through the assistance of this Association. This might prove an incentive to increase membership in the Association. and expressions of opinion in this regard will be welcomed this evening.
