Editors Mr. G. Benson, K. R. MacKenzie, D. F. Macorquodale. Exchange Editor Advertising Editor and Treasurer A. H. Brodie Mr. W. H. Hewitt EDITORIAL It is the custom of some periodicals to publish selected letters of praise or blame under a title such as ' ' Brickbats and Bouquets. Ve must admit that were we to try to do this we would have to search hard for the bouquets. However, we do not grumble ; we ask for criticisms and we receive it. The two main points on which we are criticized are, first that the Ashburian costs too much, and secondly, that too much space is devoted to sports accounts which are often months old when the magazine appears. As regards the first, we have reduced the Old Boys ' subscription in the hope of increasing our circulation and if we could increase it to a thousand we would be able to halve our pre- sent price. A copy of the last number of the x ' Vshburian was sent to each of the twenty boys who left last summer, but only two of those have troubled to pay their subscription. We cannot afford to give copies away and therefore we hope that all boys leavmg this year will at once fill up the form to be found on page 33. As re- gards the second criticism, the remedy lies in the hands of the boys. A school magazine should be written by the boys, and with the ex- ception of the sports accounts, it is our policy not to solicit contribu- tions from masters or outside sources. There is one other matter concerning the Old Boys on which we would like to comment. We have been asked to agitate for more frequent meetings of the Old Boys ' Association. The editors will give every facility they can for putting forward schemes suggested by the Old Boys, but the editors do not belong to the association and therefore they cannot possibly take the initiative in any matter deal- ing with the Old Boys ' Association.

2 THE ASHBURIAN Our Annual Confirmation Service was held in the Chapel on the evening of Wednesday, May 22nd. As usual the service was a most impressive one, and the Bishop gave a most helpful and prac- tical address to the candidates. The newly confirmed boys made their First Communion at the early service on Sunday, May 26th. The following boys were confirmed : — John Bassett, ■ Charles Gray, David Mathias, John Magor, Robert M. Powell, Leonard Schler m, Fred Sherwood, Forbes Wilson, George Wodehouse. The Headmaster paid a hurried visit to England during the Faster Holidays. He returned to Ashbury on May 6th. During his absence the school was in charge of Mr. H. F. Wright.
