Pfztclz Old Hoya Edirol' Vile dislike writing an Editorial, but feel that, on this occasion, we cannot very well get out of it! lndeed, on second thoughts, we believe that this particular Editorial requires an earnest effort on our part in as much as, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt at an organized school magazine from Selwyn House School. The object of this magazine is, mainly, to set forth the various events of the School Year, which we hope will be of interest to all boys now at the school, and also to the old boys who are no longer with us.

Mr. Lucas came to Montreal twenty years ago from St. .-Xlban's, Brockville, where he was an assistant master, accom- panied by a colleague, Mr. St. George, Queen's College, Oxford. The nrst location was on the east side of Crescent Street, but as the school increased he moved to Mackay Street. ln his effort Mr. Lucas had a staunch friend in the late Mrs. Fred. C. Fairbanks, who encouraged him not only by sending her two boys to him, but by her wise counsel. Present boys will be astonished to learn that in the very young days of the school, there were no class-rooms on the top floor of the present quarters on Mackay Street. The three rooms were bedrooms for the staff, Mr. Lucas's being the present 11-.-X. The Vlth form room was the lXIaster's Common or Sitting Room where masters could spend delightful hours in reading or contemplation. By this time there were four masters and three lived in the School, whilst Mr. .-Xnstey, owing to family ties, lived away. He is still devoting his great ability and energy to the youth of the school. The basement room in which Mr. XYanstall now presides at meals, was then
