EDITORIAL. Last year we launched on our local world the first issue of the Saltus Year Book. In an effort to maintain the interest of the Old Boys in the life of the School, we rejected a great deal of matter which appealed only to the contributors themselves or to their immediate families, and tried to make the Year Book present a fair picture of our activities and achievements. The Old Boys responded nobly and a large numher of copies was sold. In fact, the entire edition was 80ld out. At the same time, however, we appealed to the School for articles descriptive of our life here, written expressly for the Year Book, to replace those samples of work done in the ordinary course of the school curriculum which we had decided to reject. We regret that the response in this direction hast not been forthcoming. There are, natur- ally, any number of reasons for this; in particular, this school year has suffered more from interruptions, in the way of sickness and Gtherwis ' e, than for some years previously, and, consequently, there has been less time for a labour of love than usual. But we would ' urge on the present members of the School that it is not enough merely to arouse the interest of the Old Boys, but that an interest in its own activities is ' a good thing in any institution, and that others are the more likely to show the continued interest which we so desire, if we are articulate about ourselves. Do not, then, wait until a month or so before the date of publica- tion, but let the spirit move you to put pen to paper at any time dur- ing the year when there is the least excuse for it; a spontaneous ' in- spiration is much more valuable, and has much more interest for others, than a composition over which you have had to cudgel your brains, or burn the midnight oil.
