BIRCHWOOD Junior Ashburion S. PLOWDEN C. MACONOCHIE .ltigi EDITORIAL GUR yeors ogo this summer Abinger Hill School, with fifty-five boys ond two mosters, come to Ashbury. lts coming wos on experiment, on ex- periment which we knew would be frought with difficulties, but which we expected would bring the greotest benefit to both Abinger ond Ashbury. The difficulties were vorious. The first question wos, of course, how the boys would get olong together. Ashbury, indeed hos mony similorities to English schools, but its boys ore Conodion, ond there wos bound to be some friction between the two groups, from lock of understonding. But this would not lost, ond os individuol friends were mode ond common interests discovered we found thot our differences were not reolly importont. A second worry wos lock of money, for owing to restrictions very little would be sent from Englond, ond Abinger hod to depend lorgely on Ashbury for funds. Thirdly, we did not know whot the boys, who hod no homes other thon Ashbury, were to do during the holidoys, ond here we ore indebted to mony Conodion fomilies who offered to toke core of boys in their vocotion time. The experience wos one of mutuol odvontoge to both schools. Whot were these odvorttoges? Ecich group hos leorned mony things from the other, ond picked up mony of the other's chorocteristics, we hove even exchonged slong. But by for the most importont wos the broodening of outlook ond understond- ing goined by living with inhobitonts of onother country. One of the couses of the trouble we ore going through to-doy is whot might be colled notionol snob- bishness-the refusol of people to remedy their ignoronce of the woy of life of other peoples, ond their looking down on those peoples becciuse they ore dif- ferent. The Germon theory of the Moster Roce is one of the worst forms of this. Exchonges of groups of young people omong the notions would go for towords promoting friendship. By the time this is printed the whole of Abinger will hove returned to Eng- lond. We see them go with the deepest regret, for o port of Ashbury hos gone with them, but they hove left something behind them, o trodition of friendliness ond courtesy, which will never be forgotten.
