FOREWORD. 1 hope this publication, the new Saltus Year Book, which sup- plants the Magazine, will fulfil its purpose of presenting to readers a commentary upon the varied life and activity of the school. The life of a boy at the Saltus Grammar School has in it much regularity and not a little variety. Regularity and routine are essen- tial for the formation of good habits early in life, and varied activity is equally necessary in order to fit boys to take their full part in the life they will lead when they have left school. A properly balanced life, both at school and after leaving, is the ideal, hard to attain at all and almost impossible if the education has been entirely one-sided. Heavy emphasis must naturally be placed upon work which later, for most boys, has its counterpart in the profession, business or trade by which they earn a living. Suitable instruction and practice in physi- cal exercise, and in activities which may later develop into hobbies, are also most necessary. Life in modern times is almos ' t certainly leading us towards periods of intense and specialized labour inter- spersed, far more freely than in the past, with prolonged and regular periods of leisure. Everywhere it is recognised that the ability to us-e leisure for reasonable recreation must be developed during the years when character is being formed, in order to avoid bringing up a race of spare-time-loafers of mere spectators. At the S. G. S. it has consistently been our aim to provide a training as well-balanced as the limited time of a five-day, or at most five-and-a-half-day, week in a day-school permits. The Year Book provides its readers with a view of both the process and its progress. REEB.
