Saltus Grammar School Samuel Saltus, a merchant of Hamilton who died in 1880, left the residue of his estate towards the support of a good school for white persons in Pembroke Parish. His executors have given effect to his wishes, as they interpreted them, by establishing in 1885 what is now known as Saltus Grammar School. The school was first held at the Pembroke Sunday School, and was moved to the present building in 1893. This building was then composed of the big assembly room that we still have and two ad- joining rooms. The first headmaster was Mr. Thomas Waddington, B.A., of London. The school has had a great success with Bermuda and Rhodes Scholarships. The first Rhodes Scholar was Mr. H. C. Cox, an old pupil of the school, while the first to get the Bermuda Scholarship was Mr. J. T. Gilbert, who was also an old Saltus Grammar School boy. The way in which the infant school was raised from a school of a few pupils goes to show how splendid a teacher our first headmaster must have been. On the retirement of Mr. Waddington, Mr. Cox, the then Assistant Master, became Headmaster, and from a school of a score or more pupils who met in one room, the school has now become one of the best, if not the best, school for white boys in Bermuda. Just after the war some new class-rooms were added to the School. A few years ago a new kindergarten was started which has proved very successful. In 1931 more additions were made and the school was com- pletely re-organized. The playing field that was under water whenever there was rain, was raised about three feet and made a great deal larger- When the grass has grown it will be one of the finest fields in Bermuda. Another great asset is the chemistry laboratory. Four new masters were appointed, all of them with University degrees. The school now has a complete junior and senior school and is divided into houses. G. GILBERT IV. K. M. D. V.

Foreward To me has been given the honour of writing a brief foreword to The Grammarian; an honour which I deeply appreciate. During the past year the School has undergone extensive alterations, and many great improvements have been made. Soon we shall have a spacious and attractive Assembly Hall, adequate Staff Rooms, good and bright Class Rooms, and a Private Room for myself, which will be a great treat and comfort. As soon as the School is in order, we look forward to having Old Boys, parents and friends with us here, so that they might see us in our new and congenial surroundings. Contemporaneously with the completion of the School, appears the first copy of The Grammarian. It is almost entirely the work of the boys. Under Mr. Voisey ' s keen and kindly guidance, much has been accomplished in a short time. We deeply appreciate the great kindness and generous support of our many friends ever since the Saltus Grammar School began, and in the light of that fact, we trust that our magazine will find favour at their hands, and that encouraged by their appreciation and support we may be prompted to aim al something even bett(ir in our next issue. IIKNRY C. COX, I lead master.
