3 THE ASHBURIAN EDITGRIAL is shamelessly confess that before sitting down to write this Editorial, we have cast back through earlier numbers of the Ashburian and of other School Magazines seeking inspiration and to secure ourselves against repetition or plagiarism. The result has been disheartening, for we find that most matters of importance have been either firmly or lyrically dealt with. Spring freshets have been drained and dried, long winter underwear has been softly and reluctantly shed, playing fields have been scrutinized, Queen Elizabeth has been crowned and God Cas Browning jocularly remarkedj is in His Heaven. VVe find, too, that wide fields have been carefully weeded. Un- punctuality, obstinacy, indiscipline, sloppy thinking and general unsatisfactoriness have been scrupulously eliminated. Several matters of topical interest suggest themselves, but must be instantly rejected as either irrelevant, disputatious or positively dangerous. For example, it would be injudicious to discuss the pot-holes in the streets of Ottawa, the delicate political imbalance in Indo-China, or whether Mayor Houde is being groomed for a more illustrious ofiice. Education, too, is obviously out. VVhat remains? Although this Editorial is in no way intended as a commercial plug, we may say that we have recently read a charming little book whose title We cannot immediately recall, by a Hungarian naturalist whose name at the moment escapes us. In it you may read a delightful and illuminating chapter on the Water shrew. This irritable but deter- mined little creature is, it seems, incredibly voracious and cruel. It can eat three times its own weight every day, if deprived of food, it will starve to death in the space of three hours, and it devours its living prey from the heels up. Its path habits, too, are peculiarly interesting. VVeak-eyed, it ignores all designated directions but learns its way by trial and error, whiskering, hesitating, complaining and snufliling along a devious and often circuitous route. VVhen it finds itself at a loss, it scampers back to the beginning and takes another run. But the author of the book assures us that it not infrequently arrives at its intended destination.
