SAMARA My dear Girls and Boys, It has been with a feeHng of genuine pleasure that I have read your first real attempt at a School Magazine. You have made a good beginning — do not stop there! Go on and do still better! Never be content with anything less than your best. I say this in no spirit of criticism, but because I am confident of your ability to do better all the time. I see this is entirely a girls effort. Next time I hope the boys will also contribute. Your title brings to me the words of Dean Farrar. 1 pass them on to you. If you would do great deeds hereafter, prepare for them; rehearse them; shew yourselves fit for them now. He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much. But remember, that if opportunity for great deeds should never come, the opportunity for good deeds is renewed for you day by day. Be something in Life; do something; aim at something; not something great, but something good; not something famous, but something serviceable — not leaves, but fruit. Of such may the fruit of Elmwood be! Your affectionate friend and Principal, EDITH B. BUCK.

SAMARA SCHOOL NEWS The growth of the School has been indicated this year in two ways. Firstly, the name has been changed from The Preparatory School to Elmwood , and secondly, the Hall has been entirely reconstructed and enlarged. We have now a fine and most attractive building half as large again as the old one, containing a big Assembly Hall with a permanent stage, and, above, light and airy classrooms. The only drawback to the last mentioned is that the new walls will bear embarrassing witness to the fact that hands are not always as clean as they should be! The name of this Magazine. — A SAMARA is the little winged fruit (or aeroplane man , as the little ones call it) of the Elm tree, and this Magazine is a little collection of literary fruits from Elmwood. Basket Ball. — Much more enthusiasm has been shewn lately in this game, owing to Miss Neal having formed three teams, and arranged for the School to play against others. The success which we have already had is due to her untiring efforts in coaching us. Lorna Blackburn was elected Captain, and particulars of the matches we have played appear further on. Lending Library. — A lending library has been started this term. Every merpber was asked to contribute one book, but the appeal met with such a great response — some girls con- tributing as many as seven and eight books — that we have been able to make an excellent start. Our subscriptions for the time being are 50c for the Upper School and 25c for the Lower, but we hope to be able to reduce these when we have got together a sufficient quantity of books. The money, of course, will be spent in buying books. Mrs. Buck has already given us some books, and Mrs. Fauquier has promised some. Without the last con- tribution, our number had grown to one hundred, and with that we opened the library on the 9th November. The Toy Symphony. — Under the direction of Miss Tipple a toy symphony orchestra has been formed, and we are looking 2
