THE NORTHLAND ECHO 13 PBINCIPAIXS DIESSAGE Since the Northland Echo was pub- lished in May 1939, the British Empire and its allies have been forced into a war to stop aggression on the part of Ger- many-a war which both Great Britain and France tried to avoid. It is both fitting and proper that this issue of the Northland Echo should be dedicated to former pupils of our school who have enlisted for overseas service in the Army, Navy and Air Force. We are proud of these boys and of the spirit of loyalty that prompted them to offer their services to defend all those traditions of liberty and democracy for which the British Empire stands. To boys now attending the school who may be considering enlisting, my advice is that you complete your course before signing up. The Army, Navy and Air Force requires trained men. You can be of more value to your country by availing yourself of all the training this school can give you. The more education you have, whether that education be academic or vlocational, the more service you can render to your country. This school is in the fortunate position of being able to offer its students a complete course in either academic or practical subjects- comparatively few schools in the Province are as well equipped as is your school. Remain in the school until you graduate. It may be that you can serve your country best by serving at home. I am not a pacifist but I do feel that the average boy of school age should complete his course of study at school before he enters any branch of the ser- vice. As I mentioned before, your country needs trained men, and your school is equipped to give you that training. F. D. WALLACE.
