Ql93lf32,l To seize upon the restlessness, the venturesomeness, the budding intellectual powers, the warm generosities and loyalties which make the young adolescent so lovable, so in- teresting, yet such a problem, to harness these by a thousand ingenious devices to the service of that little community which is the school, to take the young, growing, changing body and by constant careful supervision in the school and in the playing Field, guide it along the direction it is to go if it is to attain to the perfectly balanced harmony of the adult bodyg to substitute principle for impulse, controlled emotion for instinct: to encourage and stimulate along the path of what the child can do -never to hold back by weakness, but ever to urge forward by his own particular strength - these are the real objectives of the school to-da y.

SIZLWYN HOUSE SCHOOL NI.-XG,-XZINF jfrum School tu Stbuol, anh Qllullege Some of you fellows who read this will be going to Boarding School next year. It will be a Fine experience, and so you should make the most of it. While you are there you may or may NOK like it, but after you have left you will look back, and there will be incidents which will be remembered with pride and which, later on, may even be an in- spiration to you. You may remember other things with a feeling of regret. But if you go with a humble opinion of yourself and a determination to do your best, you cannot go far wrong. Do you remember the first day you arrived at Selwyn House F You were probably quite lonely. When you get to Boarding School you may feel much the same way, even if several of your friends go up with you. Ifverything will be strange: the discipline, Chapel, the meals preceded by a Latin Grace, and last, but not least, fagging. If you are inclined to feel any resentment against fagging, remember that your fag-master went through the same thing himself, and that you too may someday be in his position. It is perhaps unfortunate that the first game of the year is Rugby football. :X lot of fellows have never, or almost never, played before, whereas others may have played the game for two or more years. Hut if you try and get to like the game, that will not be much ofa handicap. There will probably be numerous clubs, such as the Photographic Society. These play an important part in School life, and it is a good thing to join one or more at once, and to spend one's spare time actively rather than mope about thinking how wretched life is l If you make up your mind that you are going to like Boarding School, you cert- ainly will: it all depends on your own attitude towards others and yourself! The terms that follow are very much ofa repetition, except that the games as well as everything else become more familiar. The Summer holidays come and go, and most fellows are glad to get back. And so the story might go on into the second and third years, but by the time you will have completed your first year, you will know just what to expect later on. Next comes Colle e. By the time you have nassed your Matriculation you will 95 . . l . , . have long since forgotten this article, but it may serve to create an impression which many others will no doubt drive home. :Xt College you continue your education more or less at your own discretion. There is no one to force you to work, and in the midst of Fraternity rushing and football games you may forget why you are at College l That is all right for a while, but if you let things slide too long, you may End that irreparable damage has been done, and that your op- portunity of continuing your education has been forfeited. College is a serious thing, and there are those who say that one who lacks a College education is handicapped now- adays. For scientists tell us that our power of learning is greatest from infancy to our twenty first year of age. Above all, try to learn to get along with others and to observe what is going on about you. The most important characteristics ofa liberal education are the things which one remembers long after what we have learnt is forgotten. -R. P. CS.H.S. 1921 - 19295 i lol
