THE PELHAM PNYX 9 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL IF ALL human wants could be sat- islied without any effort, there might be fewer problems to-day of production or of distribution. But while she has provided abundant opportunities for producing the means of satisfying human wants, Nature has de- creed that man must work. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, or to give Virgil's interpretation of the same law, The sire of all, great Jove himself, de- creed No work save those that task us shall succeed. And since it is by work that the wants of man are satisfied, it is of vital interest that this work shall be so directed as to yield the best possible return in human sat- isfaction. While it is desirable that the energy required for the satisfaction of human wants be used most economically, not that men may work less strenuously, it is of the utmost importance that they EDWARD L, CROSSLEY, Principal may learn to live more abundantly. Courage is a quality that greatly adds to the effectiveness of a man in any line of work. Ability to co-operate with others is essential to good relations with all others throughout life. Knowledge is essential to good iudgment. It is only the active-minded man who continually looks for new information and who will keep informed in all the branches of knowledge which form the basis of whatever task he is called upon to do in life. I hope that during school life, our graduates have attained that thirst for information, some ability to co-operate with others in all worthwhile enter- prises, and courage, which is defined by Webster as That quality of mind which enables one to encounter danger and difficulties with firmness or without fear or fainting of heart. True courage presupposes a correct estimate of one's own ability, knowledge of the task to be performed, good judgment in under- taking or refusing to undertake the work, and resoluteness in carrying it out if undertaken. Courage will increase your usefulness in these difficult days in which we are now living. Canada is a North American nation with a jealously maintained European connection. She has therefore, many problems in common with the United , States, and certain others due to her membership in the British Empire. That is to say, she has afiiiliations with the world at large which differen- tiates her from other North American peoples . . . I like to think of her with her English and French peoples, as in a special degree the guardian of the great Mediterranean tradition which descends from Greece and Rome, and which she has to mould to the uses of a new world. -Lord Tweedsmuir.
