EDITORIAL. In this, the first issue of the Saltus Year-Book, a real departure has been made from the School Magazine issued for the past few years-. The Editors have felt for some time that the S. G. S. deserv- ed something a little more pretentious than has been given to it, but the difficulty has been to find the wherewithal to fill out a larger number. With this in view, we have decided, aifter much thought, to issue an annual publication instead of a magazine every term, and to m-ake it of interest to a wider public. In this connection we are look- ing more particularly for the support of the Old Boys of the School, and are trying to include more of the material which we think will appeal to those who retain their interest in School affairs after they have left. Hence we have decided to omit essays written in the or- dinary course of school work by the boys themselves, and to publish here only those articles and accounts of our activities which have been written for that purpose. Meritorious as many of the boys ' essays are, publication of most of them requires a certain amount of editing, and this detracts- from their value as representative examples of school work, and, a more weighty consideration, their appeal is con- fined to those who are immediately connected with the boys concern- ed. Likewise, detailed reports of School games and other activities have usually appeared weeks, or even months, before the publication of the Year-Book, and for that reason, have been abandoned in favour of more general accounts, which, we think, are calculated to give a better impression of the life of the School. We offer, then, our efforts- to the public in the hope that they will be well received, and with an appeal to all our readers to make any suggestions for future numbers which will tend to make them more acceptable to those whose support we are seeking.
