WARTIME POLICY. It ia very hard in these times to write in a few words- of the policy of this school in wartime. First of all, it may well be summed up by writing that our endeavour is to maintain not to innovate. That is to say that the real problem which confronts me is to maintain, as far as possible, some at any rate of the essential efficiency which has been built up during the years of peace. Some loss, of course, there must be; but my endeavour is to keep it to a minimum in the interests of the boys. Secondly, my duly is clearly to see that certain aspects of these times are presented to the senior boys without overempha- sis; the junior jboys are not, for the most part, to be disturbed if it can possibly be avoided. Thirdly, it is up to the school to play its part in the common effort. Early in the war I decided that this could best be done by concentrating the energies of the school and some voluntary con- tributions to the assistance of the Sailors Home and in the enter- tainment of Naval Ratings. Without these men Bermuda could not maintain herself; so it seemed to me fitting that this sthould he our main affiliation. In a minor way also the boys have been given a chance to play their part, as, for example, in the collec- tion of silver-paper and tin-foil and in the collecting of clothing for the use of refugees. Of one thing at any rate parents. Old Boys and present boys may be well assmred, and that is, that everything possible will be done to keep the Saltus Grammar School in as good a condition a;? possible, with a view to fui ' ther progress when normal times shall have returned. Disappointment that this year should not he able to show the very considerable developments in the school which were under consideration is natural. But the morale of the school and the support of its friends has so far been well maintained; if this continues, perhaps we shall all be the more mature and able to make more rapid and wiser plans for the future of the s ' chool when the time comes. OLD BOYS SERVING. Many of our Old Boys both of the recent past and other times are now serving with His Majesty ' s Forces both here and abroad. They and their parents may be sure that o ' ur most anxious good wishes go to them and that they are constantly in our thoughts at the S. G. S. REEB.
