FOR THF SCHOOL YE.-XR 1930- 1931 SWITZIQRI..-XND The name of Switzerland has always been associated with mountains. Switzerland is a happy, prosperous, and beautiful little state lying far from the sea and enclosed by four great European nations. Her mountains, those great barriers of nature, form her boundries. Switzerland is an example of how peaceful and independent a confederation of people differing in race, religion, language and custom, may be. That the inhabitants of such an apparently inhospitable land should be among the most well to do of the world, may at first seem a little strange. Deprived, owing to the rugged nature of their country, of carrying on a satisfactory commerce with the products of the soil, the Swiss have sought other means of adding to their wealth. .-Xn international campaign of advertising has induced the rest of the world to believe that the .-Xlps are the especial property of Switzerland. Of course this belief is inaccurate, as giant spurs of these great ranges stretch out into ltaly, Austria and Germany, and Mont Blanc, the loftiest peak of western Europe, is in France. Yet a surprising number of people consider all the mountains of Ifurope tie in Switzerland 1 Thousands of visitors each year pour into Switzerland, and pour out again filled with inspiring memories of the wonderful beauties of nature which they have seen. This small country becomes better and better known. Switzerland is the one district in this part of the world where winter sports can be carried on by everyone under the very best conditions. This also has been realized by the Swiss. .-Xt various particularly advantageous points in the higher altitudes winter stations have been established. Here the visitor, no matter from what part of the world he may have come, can enjoy all manner of sports during the winter months. Nlagnilicient ski hills stretch about him : woods and mountains invite hikesg skating rinks, curling rinks, bobsleigh runs, lie awaiting his use 3 and a large, modern, and pleasant hotel insures his complete comfort. Perhaps the most beautiful season is the spring. It is then that the grassy slopes and shady woods are clothed with the daintiest and INOSY colourful of :Xlpine flowers. The fresh greenery of the vegetation and the music of the swollen torrents raging towards the valley, cannot fail to impress the mind of the traveller who is lucky enough to see it all. :Xnother phase of our modern life which has come to the fore in Switzerland is educa- tion. The centres of education are Berne, Zurich, Geneva and Lausanne. Along the shores of the lake of Geneva are schools and institutions for young people. It is readily obvious that this district offers splendid opportunities for English speaking boys and girls to learn and master the French language. lmagine a land of rushing streams and shimmering lakes, of grim and forbidding glaciers and green and happy valleys, of mighty peaks and of eternal snows. Set all in a background of blue, blue skies, and add the comforts and advantages of modern life, and there lies the land where nature reigns supreme, the little land of Switzerland. FRASER N.
