Hockey Team, 1043 intellectual interests. to provide an unusually generous environment for the growth of mind and judgment. The basis of instruction is accurate expression in lfiI1gllSl1. oral and written. To this is added. from the age of ten upwards. a selective historical introduction to the best of Ifnglish literature. Classical studies are not neglected. and recent years have produced some distinguished scholars in Latin. Greek and Ancient History. but the bias of the Curriculum is now essentially towards Nlathematics and Science. with a liberal infusion of French. in which a free and colloquial approach to the language is stressed. This is as it should be. Algebra. Geometry and Trig.. Physics and Chemistry. Botany and Zoology. have the same role in our life as the Classics played in the Renaissance-they are the doorway to a new world. In a country with the expanding potential of Canada. it is above all important that the coming generation be equipped with the necessary knowledge which will enable them to make their proper contribution to its future. To this end. we consider no expenditure of time. skill. stimulus and equipment too great in laying a thoroughly sound foundation in these subjects. The Ashbury syllabus is completed by a full schedule of physical training:-the Cadet Corps. which is affiliated to the Governor Generals Foot Guards: Gymnastics. under a qualified Army Instructor: Football. Soccer. Hockey. Skiing. Cricket. Lawn Tennis. Track and Field- according to the season-all properly coached and supervised. form a regular part of the timetable. All boys from the top to the bottom of the School. participate daily in this programme of athletic and moral training. just as they attend their academic classes. The Prefeet System. with its invaluable indoctrination in leadership. is closely integrated with it. From this union of a stimulating intellectual and social climate. a stern academic standard. and a balanced physical development. we hope to see emerge a well rounded bov-and ultimately a man. in every sense of the word. i
