3 THE ASHBURIAN EDITQRIAL HNlost of us here today are not leaders and never will be. XVe are if you like, in the second class. So said the guest speaker, His Excel- lency S. Reid, at the Closing Day Ceremony, a full report of which is to be found in this issue of the Ashburian. He cited Somerset Maughan's contention, made to answer the critics, that fulhllment can be found in the front row of second ratersf' He might well have used the example of an indigenous product, Ottawa's poet of the Post-Confederation era, Archibald Lampman, who reticently yet accurately assessed his own verse as superior poetry of a minor order. At all events, an antidote to the popular conception of the independent school's exclusive preoccupation with the qualities of leadership is always welcome. Indeed the whole question of what kind of education a particular school desires is especially relevant in a year when Ashbury launches an appeal for funds, the details of which are also within these pages. The role of the independent school ought to be closely scrutinized when society is taking an increas- ing interest in education and when nations talk of education as an invest- ment. Certainly there ought to be a greater awareness of the capability of this kind of school by parents, students and staff alike.
