SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE H. R. Barclay. A weird bat, does not seem to be able to judge a ball on its merits. A keen but clumsy field. G. R. H. Cooke. Quite a good bat, must try and learn to put more push into his shots. Quite a fair field. C. G. Taylor. A very disappointing bat. Has not come up to his promise of last year, mainly due to carelessness. Rather a lazy field, can field well when he tries. THE Confirmation Service was held in the Chapel on April 6th, and was conducted by the Rt. Rev. the Lord Bishop of Kootenay. The following boys were confirmed: D. C. Doug- las, J. D. Rochfort, D.

SHAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL MAGAZINE Speech by Headmaster of Harrow HAWNIGAN LAKE SCHOOL was honoured on Sunday, April 27th, by a visit from three of the party of British Headmasters, who attended morning service in the School Chapel. Dr. Cyril Norwood, Headmaster of Harrow, preached the sermon, and the lessons were read by Mr. H. Grose-Hodge, Headmaster of Bedford, and Mr. Frank Fletcher, Headmaster of Charterhouse. In the course of his sermon Dr. Norwood gave an account of the origin of Harrow. Set on a little hill you may look one way to St. Paul ' s and the other to Windsor Castle. There, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, a farmer, who farmed two farms in the neighbourhood, thought it well that a little school should be built for the boys of the neighbourhood. He left his two farms for that purpose, and so a small school was built on the top of that hill. It had few resources. There was very little endowment, and yet it grew as the centuries went on and came to be largely bound up, through its boys, with English history. Among the boys were Sheridan, Byron, Peel, Palmerston, Stanley Baldwin, Cardinal Manning, and Randall Davidson. He said, Why do I tell you this? Don ' t think I am boast- ing. It is because it was a little school, and no one could have seen its great future ; because it is a school built into the ages and maintained by its own old boys. It was created by its sons. Dr. Norwood stated that Harrow owed its great chance to the fact that it was near London. You are far away, he went on, but wealth and power are moving over the At- lantic. Your school is in the dawning of its days and no one knows what it may grow into two or three hundred years hence. 28
