EDITORIAL T is well-nigh impossible to consider even a summary of events of the last school year, for there have at no time been so many violent and abrupt chapters added to the world's history. Even those of us who seldom read much more than the Herald funnies have been made inescapably aware of the extraordinary position of the world today. There is, ifI remember correctly, only one war going on at the present moment, but there are others smouldering continually. Armed invasions have ceased to mean very much to the average person because they are no longer uncommon, and although they are painfully relevant to each of us, there is little to be done except pray. The most hopeful aspect of the situation is the Way in which several serious crises have been averted. At school we are hardly affected by exterior happenings. If some particu- larly unfortunate piece of news comes in the morning paper, we are apt to read as much ofit as is on the first page and then, being confused by the page where it is continued, we turn to the back of the paper and read about the Dragon Lady. A very unfavorable tax may make us think how it will irritate the family, but all this is so filtered in real effect that we live a life extremely cloistered from Hitler and Japan. As a matter of fact, I can see little harm in not knowing the intimate details of every invasion, the map is changing so fast anyway that the knowledge that one acquires today is soon outmoded by the manoeuvers of tomorrow. Perhaps it is blatantly original to say that it is not necessary to read the newspapers far more than we do. Usually, with a slight concession to the headlines and the funnies, we are told that it is wasting an invaluable oppor- tunity to read only these sections of the paper and the sport section. For some people this is true, but those individuals who would profit from a thorough understanding of current events probably are already well acquainted with them. It is in school and college that we are most able to disregard the worry and pain of the world at large. We must be separated a certain amount from the world, merely from the nature of such a school as this is. Therefore, why worry more than is necessary about the troubles which are absolutely im- possible for us to nullify? Certainly if there were anything to be done, it would be a completely different story. 7
