The health of the School has been very good, and we are thankful that we have escaped the many epidemics that have visited the city. Confirmation.

Havergal College Magazine service of others when it does not interfere with your amuse- ments? Surely something more, girls, a very great deal more: not a cheap little offering which costs you nothing, but all the riches you own. The riches of the commonwealth Are free, strong minds, and hearts of health, And more to her than gold or grain The cunning hand and cultured brain. That is why. Do you not think it worth while? Will it not mean something to the West that in each of your homes in days to come there is a girl or woman grown who cares, and cares tremendously, that in nothing Canadians shall come behind the very elect, and for her country covets earnestly the best gifts. Your own gifts to Canada, of self-denial and hard work and devotion, must begin now if you really love her. But giving is hard work, too, and some of us are not very rich — and we must turn to the Giver of every good and perfect gift to help us in this as in all else. Man ' s highest thought, man ' s truest words, man ' s noblest deeds all centre in that Divine and human Life lived in a little, ancient province and now enthroned in highest Heaven. That Life was the greatest of God ' s gifts to the Old World and to the New, and It can be shared by every one of us. Without the Christ-Life our thoughts may end in despair, our words in sound, our deeds in failure. With that Life and in that Strength we may bring to the land of our birth or our adoption the consecrated service that she needs. Your affectionate friend, EVA L. JONES. EDITORIAL NOTES. With this number the Havergal Magazine enters upon the seventh year of its life. During these seven years the School and the friends outside the School who read the Magazine have learned to expect a certain standard of work in its contents. But it is easier to set a high standard than to live steadily up to it ; and it is particularly difficult in this case when, year by year, girls are passing out of the School, and success in games and examinations fluctuates with these changes. Contributions to the Magazine vary, too. This year, the School as a whole is younger, and we have missed the longer contributions that come quite easily from a large and elderly Upper Sixth Form. On the other hand, much promise has been shown in the work that has been sent in, and though but a portion of it has been published, we look forward to some very good results next year, when the contributors will be a whole year older and 15
