EDITORIAL The year 1948-49 will be a memorable one in the history of Brank- some Hall. At the traditional ceremony of the Installation of the Pre- fects, we were honoured by the presence of the Viscountess Alexander of Tunis, wife of the Governor-General of Canada. Praising our Can- adian system of education, Her Excellency said, ' ' Ignorance induces fear and the world needs the education being given in so many Canadian homes, schools, universities and churches ... to fear God, to love our country, and to act courageously. Although we are no longer fighting a war of arms, the world is now faced with a war of ideas, between Christian democracy and atheistic ideology. We in Canada are fortunate in that we can choose freely for ourselves without fear of death or starvation ; but because of this free dom, many of us do not appreciate our way of life for which thousa nds of men, women and children gave their lives. Yet the responsibility of preserving it will fall on the shoulders of our generation and we must not be unprepared to accept it. At Branksome we are gaining this education as responsible citizens in many ways. We have the opportunity to try for ourselves the principles of democracy and see their effect in the miniature world of our school. As well as academic knowledge we are acquiring courage and good sportsmanship through our athletics, and we are learning loyalty and leadership through our many other activities. Because Branksome is a cosmopolitan school we can learn from our friends the viewpoints of other countries, thus gaining a deeper understanding of the small differ- ences which so often lead to disastrous results. Above all, if we are to make our contribution to world peace and security, we must maintain our faith in God, and our belief in the ulti- mate victory of right over wrong. Let us take advantage of our Canadian education to develop a truer sense of values, and by preserving our Christian democracy, help to build a peaceful and united world. 3
