fire, but this would make a very poor school motto. Let us hope that we shall keep some of them out of the fire altogether, even if we do have to exercise a little Authority to do so— or do we stand by and pick up the ashes? Before concluding, I would like to say three positive things about Authority and I can state them quite briefly. First, the young have a right to Authority and we must not deny it to them. However independent and even rebellious they may seem, part of their security is an inarticulate philosophy of crisis, when an adult will step in and deal with the emergency, before it has reached difficult proportions. To put it another way, they have a right to expect to be able to dial Authority and to reverse the charges. Second, they have a right to the right kind of Authority and to be free from the wrong kind. One of the most profound things ever said about Authority was this: You could have no authority over me unless it were given — and this is what the developing personal- ity which we call the adolescent knows in his bones. He accepts authority most of the time in rugby and in drama, in history and in music, from someone whose commands he respects because he knows them to be rooted in a discipline which carries its own conviction. The Authority that he rejects, however, is a kind of abitrary imposi- tion of merely personal preference: When I was your age we didn ' t do that kind of thing, or Why? Because I say so. And if we have any proper educational standards at all, we shall be proud to see him reject such preten- tious authoritarianism. The third thing is to be able to point to the Source of Authority. It is easy enough when the technique is a limited one like climbing a mountain or playing the violin; what when it is a matter of ethics and values and the technique of living? It is here where schools which are Christian foundations have an immeasurable advantage. For Christ is not only the source of our authority about life; He is also our example in the exercise of authority. In the Christian framework we find absolute points of reference (so that our authority is neither abitrary nor merely personal) ; and in the Christian spirit we find charity and a due regard for persons, in a discipline that can never become merely mechanical. And thus the yoke is eased and the burden lightened. Indeed the abdication from Authority, where it exists, is not essentially (as it has been called) a failure of nerve, but a failure in faith. Example, said Burke, is the school of mankind. -E.R.L. SCHOOL STAFF 3rd Row, left to right: ]. E. Dickens, G. W. Oleman, A. C. M. Brown, T. L. Brierley, 1. A. Galliford, F. Booth, K. ].
