12 SELWYN HOUSE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Remembrance Day by Colonel J. G. Bourne There are many times when the thought must pass through your minds- Oh why do I have to go to school? -and, of course, there are many reasons, but there are, however, two major ones- FIRST, we must all be taught how to think, and SECONDLY, we must learn how to get along with other people. Your Teachers teach you how to think by instructing you in various subjects in class. The lessons you have in these subjects exercise your brain. You learn how to get along with other people by playing at recess and by having organized sports after school. This is most important as it is the way you learn the rudiments of sportsmanship. You may wonder why I am talking about thinking and how to get along with people, so l will explain. We live in a great country and, what is more, we enjoy freedom. From time to time countries, like people, are not able to get along and it could result in war. lf this happens - you as Canadians may be called upon to defend your country, which, in turn, means your freedom. If you have been taught how to think properly while at school, it will be no problem for you to prepare yourself to defend your freedom and your country. Remembrance Day is a very important day for all of us. Since the turn of the century there have been two major World Wars. Canadians have fought bravely for their Sovereign and Country in both. They not only fought for their Sovereign and Country, but they fought to keep their freedom. There are many freedoms but in the words of the late President of the United States - President Roosevelt - there were four most important ones. The first is freedom from fear, or of being afraid. The second is freedom from want, or knowing that you will be able to earn a living. The third is to have your choice of worship, or to choose your own church-and the fourth is to be free to express publicly what you think. Canadians, and men who have passed through Selwyn House, have fought bravely for freedom. Some did not come back from these wars. To-day is a special day to remember those whose deeds of bravery in defence of their Sovereign, their Country and their Freedom-we must never forget!
