Looking over the Stack Room records for the past three years we find that an average of one new or replacement book has been added to the Library every two days over the school year and our shelf capacity is becoming limited. The proposed new Library which will occupy the Old Chapel below the Dining Hall will bring relief from this problem of space, and it is understood that very definite plans are now being laid for this new Library. It is gratifying to observe the steadily increasing in- terest shown by the School in reading and use of the Library. Apart from the density of traffic in the Reading Room the records show an increase of 56 percent in the number of books borrowed during the first month of this term. In view of the number of applicants for posts as Librarians the number of these taken on strength this year has been doubled. We now have two very efficient teams of four, working alternate weeks, each team headed by a Senior Librarian. We are sorry to have had to dis- appoint some applicants and hope that they may be taken on another year. Early in July the Headmaster and Mrs. Ketchum visited the Archbishop of Moosonee and Mrs. Renison, travelling with them to Moose Factory. The Headmaster spoke in St. Thomas' Church at a service largely attended by Indians.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 13 EDWIN NASH The School extends its best wishes to Edwin Nash, a familiar figure around the buildings and grounds, who is re- turning to England for the first time since the beginning of World War Two. Edwin sails from Quebec on November 15 aboard the Cunard liner Samaria. From Southampton, where the ship docks, he will travel to Hampshire to visit his brother, Herbert Nash of Chilworth, and his two sisters, Misses Catherine and Edith Nash, both of Foyle. He will be in Eng- land for twenty-nine days and away from the School for six weeks. Edwin has been at T.C.S. for thirty-two years. He originally came to this country in 1920 from England, and worked tmder Dr. Orchard. Later he was made superin- tendent and has kept that position to the present day. ' LIBRARY NOTES Since the last issue of these notes appeared in the Record we have received further useful donations of books to the Library, and we acknowledge these gifts with pleasure and thanks. Mr. C. M. A. Strathy presented, through the Toronto branch of the Ladies' Guild, a useful and varied collection of 40 books, Mrs. E. A. Hethrington's previous donation was used to buy a complete Wordsworth, the Canadian Oxford Atlas, and the latest volume fvil of the Oxford Junior Encyclopaedia, bringing to a total of 42 the number of reference books bought with this and Miss N. S. Heth- rington's donation. Our reference section is now very well equipped and in constant use. Dr. Graham Ross has again helped us most generously. Other donations of books have come from the follow- ing: Miss Braucht-The Mind in the Making fRobinsonJ.

TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD 15 The weather at the beginning of term was the hottest and most humid most of us ever remember in September. During the summer the tennis courts were resurfaced and the Ewart Osborne court was almost entirely rebuilt. Boys are again occupying the overflow quarters in the Lodge and the Hospitalg there are 261 boys in the School this year. Fifty-one boys are sons, grandsons, or great grandsons of Old Boys. New refrigeration equipment has been installed in the kitchens. The first wedding in the Memorial Chapel took place on August 23 when Miss Mary McDerment, daughter of the School Doctor and Mrs. McDerment, was married to Gordon Payne C40-'47J. Everyone agreed that it was a beautiful setting for a wedding and the floral decorations were arrang- ed most attractively. As the couple were leaving the Chapel, all the School bells were pealed, the Chapel bell, the Tower bell and the Junior School bell. Mr. and Mrs. Parkins have left to return to British Columbia and Mrs. Roche is now in charge of the Tuckg she has already made herself popular with the boys by her kindly interest in them. The town is planning to annex all the property from the present eastern boundary at the park to Gage's Creek and north to the Old Canadian Northern tracks. It is ex- pected that a number of factories will be built south of the C.P.R. tracks and the rest of the land will be eventually used for a housing development. It will not enhance the beauty of the countryside near the School.
