Shawnigan Lake School Magazine EDITORIAL FROM the beginning of the War we have been consoling ourselves with the comfortable reflection that it cannot happen here, and even since the entry of Japan into th e War we have been buoyed up with the hope, amounting to conviction, that it will not do so. Nevertheless the blackout was taken seriously and strictly ob- served. In our town the garish signs of our commercial prosperity disappeared from the darkened streets : in the country we shut our- selves in with diminished lights and reflected on the baffling prob- lem of a mad world intent on its own destruction. Two nights of semi-darkness, of lighted rooms with darkened corridors, and ink- black dormitories were sufficient to convince us of the need of light in the material side of life; but now that the blackout is lifted, and the unconsidered trifles of black cloth or old blinds have been returned to attic or basement, and the wayfarer on the country roads is once more guided by the friendly illumination of his neigh- bour ' s house, the unsolved problem returns. It is not the question whether it can or cannot happen here, but why it has happened at all. Why, after two thousand years of pain- ful struggle upward, has the whole of human progress to be cast into the melting-pot of this terrible war? Neither time nor space here serves for an anlysis of the causes of mankind ' s failure and tragedy: nor indeed do Ave claim that spiritual light, which no blackout can hide, and by which the seer can make plain the answer to these dark riddles. Yet something can be said on the subject of personal responsibility and individual duty. In the School every selfish act, every unsocial misdemeanour countenanced by others is a hindrance to the upward progress of the whole community, whereas on the other hand, every duty, how- ever small, unselfishly performed, is a contributory cause of better- ment for all of its members. So it is, also, in the world outside the School bounds. [ R 1
