IIX kg Q TTDFHDFVTCJIHlDBJH!!luSjIHjD01.YYEAKIRIBIyD!S.- IN THE EDITOR'S CCDNFIDENCE BON VOYAGE Hli scene was very impressive. Standing, waiting on the shore were the young countrys hopes. .Xs witnesses to the scene were venerable mothers, fathers and sisters bidding a last farewell to those whom they looked upon with mingled admiration and sorrow. The last fond embraces over, the boat left the quay and carried the heroes to their combat. The sacrifice was made. Their duties were many: some, to lead forces against the foe: others. lo protect the weak and feeble against the malignant attacks of the enemy. Xgain. for others it meant succouring the wounded and consoling the down-hearted. These were their tasks. Their faithful adherence to the lofty ideals which sent them on their path of duty has crowned the lfmpire with victory and power, and enrolled them among the Nations glories. Many there were whom death claimed as her own: others there were who, escaping the clutches of death, returned to tell the tale of their more unfortunate companions who fell by the way. But alas, what little recompense is there for the faithful hero, who, adhering faithfully to his daily routine, gives his blood for his country. No chronicler records his deeds of valourl and somewhere beyond the sea he rests, with mother liarth as a bed, and sleeps the sleep of peace, living in the memory of the intimate few. Such is a typical scene, familiar to many. But today, there is taking place another scene, which, although less impressive and imposing, is none-the-less of as great importance for us. Standing on the threshold of another life, we are about to plunge into a new sphere of activity. Like the soldiers, we feel that little recompense will be awarded us for our services to the young of our country. Yet urged on by our high ideals, we have the goal in sight. l'nlike the soldier we llllxfflf Tuwzly are not to part with intimate friends, but are to unite our powers with those of the great body in the teaching profession. Ignorance, our enemy, we will overcome with the weapons of the past years experi- ence and knowledge. Our duties are numerous. At times we must be on the offensive, fighting the evil forces that might influence our pupils: again, protecting and strengthening latent talents in our pupils to enable them to overcome the powers of evil and carry on the torch of knowledge and virtue in times such as these. We feel quite certain that success will crown our enterprises inasmuch as we prepare our- selves socially, morally and intellectually to help our fellow-creatures. Such is our ideal-such the accompanying thoughts as we launch our small craft out into the unknown waters. May success, then, follow each of us in our every endeavour and may reverses never daunt our youthful hopes. With this word of good fortune, let me bring this word of farewell to a close with those stirring words of Longfellow, which should be the inspiration of every earnest student: Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, .-X forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again. Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate: Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and lo wait. F. J. J. Colgan
