Editorial In introducing this volume to the public, we have little to say; we hope the account of the School ' s activities will speak for itself. Readers will notice that the record of the war service of Saltus Old Boys has been discontinued. We understand that a separately printed record is contemplated, and our annually published lists have, at least, provoked many people to supply some of our omis- sions. For this we are grateful; such a record loses much of its point, if it is incomplete. We would, therefore, make a final appeal for information which has been omitted. There is another difficulty which perturbs us. Owing to the early date at which we have to go to press, it is impossible to give a satisfactory account of the summer term ' s activities until they are over a year old. As the Apostle says, My friends, this ought not so to be . Yet, if we publish later, we shall miss the opportunity to sell the Year Book to the Old Boys; and it is largely the Old Boys whom we wish to reach. The suggestion has been made to us that, if we collected life subscriptions, we could mail copies to the subscribers after the end of term without letting the circulation suffer. We know that there is much to be said on each side of this question, and we should like to hear other opinions on the subject. Finally, we thank our various contributors, especially the boys who have compiled the lists of the results of the athletic competi- tions, a tedious business. THE EDITOR.
