An Appreciation During the past year a new relation has come to exist between teacher and student. Formerly a boy regarded his teacher as a machine, an automaton without individuality, without human de- sires or feelings. Today we find that each student has a sympathy. an understanding, a respect, and even a love for his teachers. Certainly this-was not brought about by the boys. Boys today are no more emotional or wise than the boys of yesterday. There remains only the other of the two parties, the faculty, and it is indeed they who have wrought this desirable change. They have studied each boy separately, and by taking every opportunity to show him that they are his friends they have built up the relation that now exists between the boy and his teacher. They have fitted themselves into the swirl of school activities and have assumed the advisorship, placing wherever necessary a steady- ing hand, without intruding. R It is the Faculty that has boosted Crane, and we can already see the results of their unsellish, patient labor. The Science and Craft completes with this Annual the most successful and popular year that it has ever enjoyed. The success is largely due to ,the continued help of the Faculty. They are in a large measure responsible for the new sales record. The popularity of the book is due to the' high quality of ma- terial in it, and the standard could never have been attained and maintained without the Faculty's help in securing the good work from the boys. Science and Craft cannot express too heartily its deep grati- tude to the members of the Faculty for what they have done, but we are certain that, with the great understanding of boys that they have exhibited in other instances, they will read the true extent of our appreciation in the simple words, We Thank You.
