SELWYN HOUSE SCHOCL MAGAZINE Vol. l0 FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 1946-1947 jfnretnurh AM grateful to Mr, Speirs for asking me to write the Foreword for this number of the School Magazine. The pleasure is enhanced by recollections of the interesting evening of November lst, last, when I had the privilege of distributing the prizes I recall the Headmaste-r's Report on that occasion, when he gave us names of Selwyn House boys who had gone to good schools of senior standing and were doing well there, It was evident that the boys are adding to the tine traditions of their School by the records at school and university which they build on the foundation laid at Selwyn House. Education at every stage is most important. But as no building is secure or enduring without a good foundation, so men's careers depend. in marked degree, on the instruction and training received in the junior grades at school, Selwyn House has an honoured place in the list of our best schools. I have read last year's Magazine with delight. The articles in it do great credit lo the writers and to their teachers. The thought is clear and the expression quite charming in its simplicity. To think clearly and to express thoughts in simple, appropriate words is an art greatly to be coveted, It requires perseverance and sincere effort to achieve it. And to achieve it should bc the ambition of all pupils and all students. It gives us older ones great pleasure to read thoughts that are beautiful, good and true in the writings of boys at school. lVhen I visit a good school and think of the problems the pupils will face in later years, I tind deep satisfaction in knowing that they are being trained to think honestly and clearly, and to present facts and arguments in a clear, convincing way. Such training will give society capable, courageous leaders. Good luck to the boys of Selwyn House! Since they have the opportunity to begin Latin at the proper age, I may conclude with a well known quotation, which expresses my wish for their School. Vivat! Crescat! Floreat ! a I to I3l
