Jt is no longer a young paper; it has Ijeen running for four volumes, and is now starting in on its fifth. Throug ' h its entire career Ijoth its appearance and siihjcct matter have been of the first or- der. It has alw ' avs held a high position among other school papers and has al- ways been well spoken of. The paper, as a ])a])er, has improved steadily rather than raiiidly, and the last issue was con- sidered the l)est that has been published. The “‘Clarion” having reached such a stage, now, if ever, everyone should take hold and help it along. With a record such as it has, reflecting faithfully as it does, over school life, the Clarion” de- serves not to meet with disparaging re- marks and lack of interest on the part of members of the school, li ' ach an atti- tude, taken even by a few, only throws an additional burden upon those who are eager to make our school publication as successful as jfossible. In every cause there are faithful and unfaithful followers ; there are always some who do the vork, and others who leave it for tired hands to do. And so, those who have always so loyally sup- jiorted our paper, we thank most heartily, and earnestly urge all to join in with this number. At present we have the largest sub- scription list in the history of the “Clarion. We earnestly appeal to Alumni and friends of the school to swell this list to still larger ])roportions by

( )ur advertisers have al- ways been most generous in their sup- ])ort and we wish to assure them that we are most apjmeciative of their faithful and long-continued interest in our school paper. F ()R the last few months we have been having a rich repast of for- eign and domestic affairs ; we are still watching anxiously the unsettled state of things in the Transvaal. China and the Philippines, and England’s great loss has aroused world-wide sympathies. ictoria was a wonderful queen ; she was a good queen and wrought her country lasting good. As we turn our eyes to King Edward VI I, we wonder what sort of a king he will make. As a son of . uch an admiral)le woman, we can only hope that he will be proven to possess some of her sterling qualities. T he term commencing after the Christmas vacation has been un- usually hard and long. But in spite of la grippe a la mode, big hooks” and small hours,” the term has not been totally without its charms and the April vacation is almost here. How fine it would be if, when the April vacation comes, we could onlv have as much in our minds as we have had on them for the last three months. W HAT havetheboys of the hockey team been doing in the mean- while ? In watching them play their game, as we see them brandish their sticks, whirl, rush, turn and slide in even- direction, we -wonder if that little rubber has made them mad. There seems to have been method in their madness, how- ever. We are all very proud of their suc- cess, and althoug-h they have gained laurels for their own heads, it seems al- most as if we too wore them, as we tell our friends about our” hockey team andi the cu]) we” have won. ADORNING OUR ROOHS. In the last number of the Clarion” there was an article on the new pictures in the school-building, li-i this number we shall describe the works of sculpture, which were added last summer. As we have stated before, rooms A” and “i” are decorated with Greek and Roman works of art and rooms “2” and 3” with Italian. At the front of room ”2” are two ])anels in high relief by Luca Della Rob- bia. These together with four others originally formed the organ loft in a cathedral in Florence. One of these ])anels shows six l)oys playing on trumpets and four children dancing, and the other represents five boys playing on drums and four children dancing. These ]neces express a g ' reat deal of life and action, and the children certainly look as if they were enjoying themselves. Even if these are not to be enjoyed by every- body, no one can say that they lack spirit or skill in execution. In the sanie room on the west wall are the chubby heads of two children called the Bambini. These are also by Luca Della Robbia. The originals were made in glazed terra cotta about five hundred years ago and were placed at intervals, to foim a sort of frieze around the outside of the children’s hospital at Florence, where they still remain. They are in the form of oval slabs. The back- grounds are Irlue ; and the little white figures, partly draped, stand out, making a very pretty condiination of color. Perhaps the most popular work in the
