From the Watch-tower, in this opening year, we see in the foreground our School, larger in number of pupils than ever before. The staH has been increased, additional equipment provided, there is expansion in every department, greater facilities for education are at the disposal of students. If there is no royal road to learning, at least no other highway has more expended on it for the purpose of removing obstacles, and broadening the road for travellers. Looking farther into the world-great progress is to be seen. Continents are united by telephone and radio. New speed records have been made, marvellous feats performed in the air-mechanical inventions of every kind add to the comfort of daily life-Yet in spite of material development' the world is in a state of depression and unrest. Though great wealth abounds poverty stalks through the land. The question of unemployment occupies the minds of statesmen in every country. Age- long traditions-as in Spain at the present time-are being attacked, the old standards of morality and faith are disputed. How are these problems to be solved and prosperity brought out of discord? It was said recently by a prominent Canadian, that the hope of a country lies in its youth. In the G. C. I. and other similar insltitutions are forming the characters and personalities which, in a few years, will be called to assume the tasks of the home, the state, and humanity at large. It is at school that ithe equipment for those responsibilities must be ob- tained-Strive to acquire independence of thought. Learn to weigh, to consider, to decide. In his Rectorial address to the students of St. Andrew's University Sir W. Grenfell says, A man who has the courage to say 'I will' or 'I will not' among his comrades, 'has gained a greater knowledge of the education which is needed to make him of real value to the world and to himself than if he knew more current science than most men can ever hope for -Tenacity of purpose has always been a char- acteristic of great men-Obstacles must arise in every pursuit, those which are overcome by unremitting effort transfer their strength to the victor-The prize. that is lightly attained is of little value. This is equally true of play and work. There is not much difference between these two, together they make up the game of life. Semper Paratus, the school motto which appears on the shield, is the ideal toward which school life aspires. It is one which has been glor- iously realized in the history of our school, on the field of battle, and in the less picturesque but challenging field of civil life. Let each pupil of the G. C. I. make the motto his own, for school days, and for the more responsible years to come-It will, if followed, procure for him the joy of life, which is fthe measure of its force. J. W. CARTER. 17
