As soon as they have covered the prescribed text-books, they are satisfied. Unfortunately for them, it is impossible in this Way to obtain any sort of a general education. This is the main reason why the School has a Library, and Why we are encouraged to use it. But a distressingly large proportion of the School does not even know how to use the Library. Several times boys have been seen examining every shelf in the search for a particular book. Perhaps it encouraging that a boy would do this, for he must have Wanted the book strongly, but it is a useless waste of time that might have been spent in the reading of the book.

2 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD It is not our intention to try to explain the system used in cataloguing, because there are notices in the Library showing how it works. But we feel that the lack of comprehension of the fundamentals of the system is largely responsible for deterring boys who would other- wise use the Library. Every book is listed in the filing cabinet, and if only it were known how simple it is to use these files, the Library would benefit a far larger part of the School. It would be ridiculous, of course, to try to read through an encyclopedia, the average student would glean nothing from it. But he should, at every opportimity, read a good book. If he feels lost, and does not know where to begin, the Librarian is more than willing to give him some suggestions. The advantages of reading as many books as possible when you are young cannot be over-emphasized. You will enjoy them more and take more out of them than you will in later years. And when you are old, you will find that you have not had nearly enough time for the books you would like to have read, and you will wish that you had started sooner. -A.O.A. WILLIAM OSLER lAn address given at the Osler Memorial Service by L. W. Brockington, C.M.G., K.C.J I have been asked to praise a famous man. His praise is recorded far more eloquently than I can speak it, in the life which he lived, in the lessons which he taught, and above all, in the things which he did. It is, however, fitting that praise should be given in this place and at this time. For Sir William Osler, or Dr. Osler as a grateful world knew him best, was born one hundred years ago and came as a boy to Trinity College School in 1866. He was, you
