SELWYN HOUSF. SCHOOL NIAGAZINE ?L'Z9i5tuirz he la jllilarszillaise. .-X la fin du dix-huitieme siecle, il y avait en garnison 51 Strasbourg un jeune offieier nomme Rouget de Lisle. Il avait trente-deux ans, et il avait deja acquis une certaine re- putation comme auteur. Il avait ecrit des poemes, des chansons et une piece qui avait ere representee at l'Upera Comique at Paris. Il n'etait pas bien vu de ses camarades, parce qu'ils ne le comprenaient pas. Il aimait la solitude. Il aimait la rnusique et la poesie, et pendant que les autres ofhciers s'amusaient, il allait faire de longues promenades dans les belles forets des Vosges. l,e 25 avril 1792, M. Dietrich, maire de Strasbourg, invita quelques amis a diner. ll y avait des generaux, des olhciers parmi lesquels etait Rouget de Lislef et des citoyens illustres, tous amis de la liberte. On parlait de liberte, d'C-galite et de fraternite. On entendait souyent repeter les mots ff lintants de la Patrie D nom donne aux engages volontaires. I..e nouvel etendard tricolore ornait la salle. Il y avait de la lumiere, de la inusique, et des chansons patrioti- ques. Un voulait une chanson patriotique qui put exprimer les sentiments revolutionnaires. Nlais il n'y en avait pas. Qui saurait ecrire cette chanson ? Nl. Dietrich s'adressa a Rouget de Lisle, qui avait de-ia ecrit des chansons. Ne voudrait-il pas l'E-crire F ll etait trop mc-deste pour y consentir d'abord, mais, solicite par tout le monde, il promit d'en faire l'essai. Il etait tard quand il arriva chez lui, mais il ne se coucha pas. Il prit son violon et commenea fi -iouer. Son ame etait enllammee d'amour pour sa patrie. Il travaillait de tout son coeur, et quand l'aube commenca fi blanchir le ciel au- dessus des Yosges, il avait hni sa chanson. Tout le monde reconnut qulil avait produit ce qu'on cherchaitg une Chanson qui avait la force, le feu, l'elan necessaires pour inspirer et exalter l'amour de la patrie jusqu'au devouement supreme. isa c'est l'origine de la chanson nationale de la France. D. H., Form 5. The library. Since last September thirty two books have been given to the Library by the fol- lowing boysz- Jimmy and Robert Patersong laildon and Kingman Blackg Malcolm Mc- Dougall, Huntley Millar, Tony Dobell, Dick Browne, and Bobby Stevenson. To all of these we should like to express our sincere thanks. We are also grateful to Thornton Grier QO.S.l who kindly presented two useful and interesting books, entitled Trains, tracks, and travel and The Book of Speed . There has been a constant and steady demand for books throughout the year. Wie now have nearly live hundred books dealing with every subject necessary for the aver- age schoolboy, and there is no doubt that the Library has proved itself to be a distinct and popular acquisition to the School from the point of view of both education and pleasure. B K T H lA word of thanks is due hereto Mr. Howis who, since the inception of the Library, has undertaken the task of Librarian with untiring interest. In spite of being worried after school each morning - and at other times- -by flocks of small boys requesting an exchange of books, he always manages to meet the demands made on him with patience and good will. - -FDA l30l
