MISS BRYAN When this copy of Trafalgar Echoes has been issued another school 3 ear will be coming to its close. This year has been marked by the forma- tion of a Trafalgar Old Girls ' Association which will mean more to the school than is perhaps realized at present. It links the past girls with the present and gives to those, who are leaving school, a feeling that, although their school days are over, they may still have an opportunity of doing something more for Traf. Surel} this Association will inspire the pre- sent girls to keep alive the school spirit and true sportsmanship of which Trafalgar has always been so proud. Our School Magazine is still in its childhood and year by year changes are made to improve it. It was the aim of the present staff to make this issue, as all school magazines ought to be, truly representative of school life ; so that an old girl could, while reading a copy, be brought back for a moment to her own school days, which, everyone agrees, are the happiest in a lifetime. All the dreams of the staff have not been realized, but it is hoped that in a few years, when financial difficulties have been overcome, it will be possible to have the Echoes ' published twice yearly. In this way the interest of every girl can be kept up throughout the year. June and the end of the summer term bring- a certain amount of sadness. This is more keenlv felt hy those, who have grown to regard ' Traf as their Ahna Mater and are now leaving, not knowing what tiie future will bring. Last year the matriculation girls did splendidly, six passing with high marks in every subject. These girls are to be congratulated, and every success is wished to those who are now working for the examination. Several times this year the girls have been called u nm to help out in the different branches of work ; every time they have res])onded whole- heartedly. The Editors and .Magazine Staff wish to extend their thanks to the teachers and girls for their co-o|)eration and to tell of their apprecia- tion for the work they have done towards making the maga .ine a success. In conclusion we wish everyone a very hapi)y Imliday. In years to come may we remember Nelson ' s words: England expects every man to do his duty tiuis helping to make the ideals for which Trafalgar stands, live forever.

It was brought about through the efforts of the Rev. Dr. Duncan. President of the Board of Governors, who presided at the first meeting when the officers were elected. Hon. President: Miss Grace Fairley. Hon. A ' ice-Presidents : Miss C. Mitchell, Miss Gumming Miss Bryan. President: Miss Effie Baker. Vice-Presidents: Mrs. George Cains. Mrs. Wm. Angus. Secretary : Miss Marjorie Spier. Corresponding Secretary : Miss Hay Browne. Assistant Secretary: Miss E. Dunton. Treasurer : Miss A. Warden. Its object, I need scarcel) ' say, is the binding together in a common interest of all those who have heen Trafalgar girls and to keep alive the esprit de corp of the school. So far the chief work has been to get the names and addresses of all the old girls and a circular letter has been sent to 565. There are still some names without addresses and I would like to ask everyone interested to look at the list published elsewhere in this Magazine and do what they can to help solve the problem. ' e do not expect to do more in the first months of the org anizatio;i than to get all names enrolled and to be ready for definite work next year. Four committees have been appointed and we hope through these to create and maintain an interest in the Association. The Magazine Committee have definite plans for next year and ex- pect to publish an Alumni Magazine which will consist of contributions of prose, poetry and drawings; the personal side will be kept alive bv notes of anything interesting that is being done by or happening to, members of the Association. It has been suggested that a representative be appointed in different cities to gather material for the Magazine. Its success will depend upon the interest taken in it by the Alumni. Contributors are asked to sign their .r)[,aiTies, with their maiden name added, and contributions are to be sent to Miss E. Baile, Convenor, 30,3 Pine Ave. West, Montreal. An Entertainment Committee was appointed which in time will speed the graduating .class on their way, look after Old Girls who may come back to School Closings and arrange for re-unions. There is a feeling that some definite work should be done by the Association and Social Service work of one sort or another has been sug- gested. At present inquiries are being made and plans drawn up; there arc several channels through which this work may be carried on and one or more may be adopted. Miss Mary Tooke, The Maxwelton Apartments, Sherbrooke St. West, is the Convenor of this Coir.mittee. Suggestions or information may be sent to her. The younger members of the Old Girls ' Association will be interested to know that a Sports Committee has been formed with Miss Helen Druni- mond. 448 Sherbrooke St. West, as Convent)r; that a Basket Ball Team is practising, and that matches have been arranged with the Trafalgar School Team. Through the kindness of Miss Cumming we have been ab ' e to hold our meetings at Trafalgar . There has been one general meeting, since that c.jch Committee has met to consider what it is best to do. There has been a k)t of work done in hunting up names and addressee and it has taken weeks to get the list to its present number. By next Autumn the members will be enrolled and with their interest and support we shall be able. I hope, to carry out the se eral ]ilans of the .Association.

It seems foolish on most occasions to plead the excuse that one has nothing to say. but as the years go on it becomes more and more difficult to find words that appeal at once to the present and the past — and the future. But when through one of my Old Girls a most kind message came to the effect that some of the group had suggested my writing a few words in connection with the Old Girls ' Association, I could do nothing but consent with many grateful thanks for their memory of me. It will not be hard to bless such a project, and my words will not be many. School time is of course a passing stage of life both for girls and boys; but coming at the only time of life when the days are long, it always appears to amount to more than can be measured by the Calendar. Inter- course with the superior officers of the place can be, and often is of the most happy kind ; but the chance of life is with the comradeship of the day — Youth seeks to youth. For those who have not been so unfortunate as to change schools often, the continuity of association, the fellowship in work and play give opportunities of acquaintance which has every chance of ripening into friendship. T have had friends, said Charles Kingsley, when asked to say something about the supreme happiness of life. The only time when we get close to others is in childhood and early youth ; the degree of intimacy depends upon the individuals. Later on comes the scattering time, which marks the beginning of the next period Avhen the actor takes his own place on the stage, and faces the problems of life. As time goes on, the roinance of the past rises up. also a feeling of comradeship among those who have a common past ; a feeling which is not seldom more 5 strong in the retrospect than it was in the passing day. Then comes the feeling Can we not have a definite Ijond of union to gather together those who once shared so much of life with us, to ensvire interest if friendship be too strong a name? Some time ago there appeared in Punch a clever little poem giving the supposed soliloquy an old seaman who is carving trifles from drift- Avood ; and he cannot understand why he chooses as his model an old and imseaworthy brig which he hated with all his heart while he sailed in her — hated the boat and everything connected with her. He half realizes with- out being able to put the feeling into fitting words, that it is the romance of the past that is upon him ; — it is not the boat but his past self that is in his mind; the time that he spent there was life and opportunity, whether he realized it or not. The present has its roots in the past. And so with the school, literal or metaphorical. Then comes the question — what can we dc to justify our gathering logether as a club or association at all? In the first place there :s mucn to be gained by a corporate union ; organization is good if the form of it is not so rigid as to crush out the essence — the latter has to be touched verv gently for it evaporates easily. In the second place an Association of old school girls can show itself very strong in the service of others ; and this can be done in more ways than can be touched on here. Altruism, as we understand it, is of comparatively modern growth ; but, like all effort, it grows by Avhat it feeds upon. And so I have no doubt that the iT embers have started, or propose to st art, some means by which the whole will alwavs l)e readv to help the part — especially if that service can be shown to an old school-fellow; a Free-masonry, which, like mercy, will bless both those who give and those that take. In a novel which was once well known, Sir Walter Besant says that women will alwavs be oppressed because thev lack power to comb ' ne. If the novelist had lived a little longer, he would probably have been willing to qualify his statement. Women have proved that they can combine and it only remains for them to show that they can also give continuity of com- bination. As I write these words, many memories rise up, memories of old girls whose qualities and gifts can do much for the body politic ; and I trust that the Association will find out unceasingly new means of uplift for themselves and others. I trust too that their success Avill be constant and steady, and greater thali anything which they had ventured even to hope for. Sursum corda ! and again Sursum corda ! Edinburgh, May 15th, 1922. GRACE FAIRLEY. 6 CANADIAN LITERATURE. A most intcrest ' ng address on Canadian Literature as given to the School. Xoveniber 26th hy tlie well-known Canadian Author, ' Sir. Basil King. The object of the lecture was to urge the necessity of arousing the Canadian people to a realization of their possession of an art and literature that was dist- ' nctly Canad ' an. and, further, to reveal the consequent need of a sympatlietic and ;ictive co-operatit n between the antliors and the public. The necessity oi co-operation between the artists and the people ar ' ses out of the dependence of each upon the other. The writer is de- pendent upon the people for the matter for his books, for the thoughts that are woven into his stories. The people are dependent upon the artists for the expression i f their dreams and aspirations; they look to him to give voice to the insistent but vague and imformed ideas that evade the mind, and that need only the touch of his pen to be brought into proper perspective, and to lie rendered into intelligible language. Every nation feels inherently the need of an art and literature that are distinctively its own. A cotmtry that felt no such need would be lacking in spiritual life; for art and literature are the soul of a nation. Consequently art and literattire are more valuable to a nation than the greatest wealth and material prosperity to which it could attain — a declaration that arose not from under-estimation of the importance of material progress to a countr .-. but from a realization of the greater im- portance of a nation ' s spiritual progress. For material prosperit flotirishes only to decay; while a nation ' s spiritual life, like the soul of man, knows no end, but the fruits of its growth, its art and literature, will remain as a last- ing evidence of that nation ' s achievements, and as the standard of its greatness. As a particular illustration. i Ir. King drew attention to two nations of the ancient world. Phoenicia was one of the world powers through the supremacy of her navy and commerce. To the east, of this w ealthy and mighty land lay the tiny, impoverished, agricultural country Israel, ever throughout her historv at the mercy of the great nations that threatened her on everv side. Phoenicia produced merchants: the imaginative and in- tensely spiritual Hebrew race produced poets and philosophers. Phoenicia has left to posterity no record of her greatness. All the Christian world to-day is familiar -with the history of Israel, while the Bible remains to-day 7 the most widely read and most influential piece of literature that the world has ever produced. The Canadian people must co-operate with their writers and artists in stimulating and promoting the growth of Canadian art and literature, that the name of Canada may not perish with the decay of her material body, but that she may leave to civilization an heritage worthy of her greatness. D. C. VI. DAWN. I lay awake in the dim gray light Just at the peep of dawn, When the cold bright moon of the long, long, night Was fading before the morn. The steely sea with shimmering light From the sun beginning to rise. Woke from its sleep of the long, long, night, And the sea-gulls wheeled through the skies. The bright lighthouse with its flashing light Wa s paling before the sun, Which after the weary long, long, night Showed that the day had begun. The bright Avaves sparkling, danced in the light Of the glorious, wonderful sun. Forgetting the moon of the long, long, night In the thought of the day to come. B. C, IV. a. SONG OF THE HARVEST. Now the summer-time is ending Blades of corn with weight are bending Fields of wheat, all ripe and mellow, Rows of pumpkins, large and yellow, Waiting to be gathered in, When the harvest shall begin. Squirrels in the woods are found Hoarding nuts beneath the ground. Higher up red apples grow, Till they tumble down below. Flocks of birds fly south together. Seeking warmer, brighter weather. Too cool winds are apt to blow As the days much shorter grow. Gather up the summer ' s spoils. Earned by Harvest ' s honest toils. — E. T., III. b.. 8 THE ADVENTURES OF RUSTUM-AL-ALI. There «.)nce lived, in a drowsy illayc of the Orii ut, a man by the name of Rustum-al-Ali. Possessing- a readier wit than the villagers hr seemed to their simple minds, to be a great and wise man ; and with such ease did he disentangle dit culties that seemed to the peasants to be beyond solution, that he was reputed to be the favoured of the gods, and blessed with no slight portion of their divine knowledge. The god of mischief, on beholding how Rustum-al-Ali ' s self-com- placency grew with the years, immediately fastened upon him as the next victim of his love of teasing and tormenting. Accordingly he one day parted the veil of the heavens, and, in the guise of a mendicant, descended upon earth, alighting before Rustiim ' s cottage-door. He begged to be allowed to share the w ise man ' s noon-day meal, whereupon Rustum made him welcome at his table. W hen the meal was over, the supposed beggar, making a lowly obeisance, addressed his host as follows : O wise and holy man, who hast surely beheld the face of the gods, and to whom the most secret signs of heaven are made manifest; thou, O favoured of Immortals, canst surely give answer to a question that has long taxed my dull mind. Beaming with gratification and delight. Rustiun-al-Ali bowed his assent ; nor did it ever occtir to him that he might be dealing with a man whose wits were as sharp, or even sharper than his own. Thou hast spoken truly, my friend, he replied in pompous tones. T have indeed been favoured with the counsels of the gods, and to me the inmost secrets of the heavens have been revealed. Speak, and I will answer. Then, said the god of mischief, smiling to see how readv was his host to flounder into the snare prepared for him, Then it is this. In the beginning of things, there were but one man and one woman upon earth. Is this not so? Yea, answered Rustum, solentnly. Since that long-ago beginning of things, continued the beggar, the race of man has increased to many millions; but the earth, the stable work of the god, is as it was. Is this not so? Somewhat perplexed as to what his guest was driving at, yet not with less confident in his powers of sohition, Rtistum again inclined his head m assent. ■ ' Since it is evident that man will continue to multiply in number, and since it is equally evident that the earth will never accommodate itself to his increase, what then do the gods intend when mankind shall have outgrown his habitation ? Thou, O intimate of the gods, canst inform me of their purpose, and relieve the anxiety which presses upon the mind of thy- humble servant. The poor wise man was in a state of utter bewilderment, when oftered so hard a nut to crack. The god of mischief, through his divine power, was able to look right into Rustum ' s thinking-box, under his top-knot. The wise man ' s ideas had fallen out of their pigeon-holes, and were staggering- round in such a manner that their owner must hav e felt quite dizzy. In- 9 deed, for a moment or two poor Rustum was quite bereft of speech ; and it was all he could do to get his thoughts back again into their proper pigeon-holes, and answer the questioner with some degree of composure. Thine is a problem that can only find an answer after prajer and inler -ention with the gods. replied Rustum. The extreme heat ' ' — taking lip a fan and waving it energetically — doth pass upon the spirits of the Immortals, and doth make them ungentle listeners to our feeble prayers. Alayhap the gods have ever sought the cooler skies of the West — a great distance for my prayer to travel. But if thy road be this way this day twelve months, my voice may bv then have penetrated to the ears of the gods, and I will be able to furnish thee with thine answer. This day twelve-month, then, said the beggar, and chuckling in- wardly at his host ' s discomfiture, departed. Alas! moaned poor Rustum, when left alone, he is surel 7 a learned man who is endeavouring to rob me of my reputation that he might take m ,- place as wise man of the village. To make himself reach as near as possible to the ears of the hob ' ones, and to make sure that his prayers would reach their destination, Rustum climbed to the very peak of an extremely high mountain, and al in the heat of noon-day. For surely if I so toil, thought he, the gods will hear me graciously. A.s he prayed upon the mountain pinnacle, a cloud drifted over him, bearing from their secret pasture-lands upon earth, a herd of holy ele- phants belonging to the gods. The leader, espying Rustum, extended his trunk, and whisked the startled mortal into the cloud. The cloud had entered the portals of heaven, before Rustum recovered his senses. Where am I? he asked in a dazed voice. In the abode of the gods, answered the elephant, setting him down, Then my prayers have ])een answered! ejaculated Rustum, fer- vently. Wilt thou, O most hol - Elephant, lead me into the presence of the gods? I have a petition that must be urged. Thou art a daring mortal, answered the elephant. But if thou wonldst behold the grace of the gods, and live, claim the garment of divinity, and acknowledge thyself as no less a being than one of the Immortal host. And the elephant winked knowingly. Rustum, who had never seen an elephant wink, beheld the opera- tion with fascinated wonder. Can they brethren, O holy Elephant, vvink too? he asked with in- terest. Impudent, cried the elephant, a loud and angry trumpeting issuing irom his sacred throat, and prepared to make a charge at Rustum. The latter, without waiting to offer apologies, took to his heels; and seeing an open door-way, made for it with all possible speed, his one thought to escape the wrath of the holy elephant. 10 U chanced that this cloor-way led into the Assembly Hall of tht; gods. At that moment Boreas was setting torth to the Immortals l i- bitter complaints against Xeptune, charging the sea-king with unjust:- Tiable interference with the winds passing over his domains. The god of the W inds was just reaching towards a grand rhetorical climax when Rustum-al-Ali made his precipitate entry. Wiio art thou. ' thundered Boreas, enraged at so untimely a inter ruption. A-a god. panted Rustmn, the holy ele])hant ' s advice recalled sharpl ,■ to his memory when he perceived that the attendants of the gods were ringeruig the hilts of their bright, sharp scimitars. A god should not behave in so undignified a manner, declared n prim-looking goddess, severely. 1-1 am one of the lesser gods, stammered Rustum — the ver, lesser lie added, with a deprecating wave of the hand. Ah ! said Boreas in a that-explains-it ' tone, and proceeded with his harangue. To escape the indignant glances of the audience of Immortals, Rustum sought a door-way opposite to that by which he had so hastil, entered. He soon foimd himself in a magnificent garden al)la .e with gorgeous tropical flowers. Seating himself under a wide-spreading ' tree he began to review the incidents that led to his entrance into heaven, with man . a bitter thought for the cunning beggar and his impossible riddle. But now that 1 am here in the very abode of the gods, 1 shall surelv be able to discover the gate of man, he thought. Mortal, what dost thou here. ' came a hoarse voice from somewhere above him. Rustum leaped to his feet in terror, his knees knocking together, then threw himself prostrate upon the ground, crying: Mercy! mercy! How earnest thou here, miserable human? repeated the strange, awful voice. 1 am discovered! was the unhappy Rustum ' s inward thought. Aloud, he said: O great and invisible god! the holy elephants bore me hither. What wouldst thou? demanded the harsh v oice. 1 would know what gate the gods hold in store for man when he shall have so increased that no room shall be left him on earth, answered Rustum more boldly, inspired by the hope that the great mysterious god would grant him the desired information. Ho! said the voice; then, after a pause: I am coming ' down to thee. These words sent the crouching Rustum to his feet with astonishing- rapidity, and in the same moment he was leaping over the bright flower- beds with an agility that would have made a monkey envious. Nor did he look backward, else he might have perceived a great comi-notion in the branches of the tree under which he had but lately been so quietly sitting. But he had not gone far when his flight was abruptly arrested. A great hand seized the neck of his garments from behind and shook him till the poor man ' s senses reeled, then the hand swung him sharply round, and the 11 trembling: Rustum found himself gazing into the grinning visage of a mons- ■ rous white ape. • , . Not so fast, mortal, cried the ape in the deep, guttural tones that had hrst so alarmed the wise mail. Oh holy ape, do not betray me to the wrath of the gods! implored the wretched man. The sacred ape vouchsafed no reply, but flinging Rustum over his shoulder, proceeded with long, swinging strides in the direction of the open portal of the Hall of Assembly. Entering, the great beast made his wa toward the dais from which not long before Boreas had addressed the divine audience. With one powerful arm the white ape held high, before the astonished gaze of the Immortals. Rustum ' s limp body, and cried in his mighty voice : Mortal feet have polluted the sacred precincts of our abode ! So to Rustum ' s confused senses came the sound of angr,-, protesting voices, one and all denouncing the human in their midst. Gathering to- gether what breath remained to him, the poor wise man shouted with all his might : I am a god ! I am a god ! I am a god ! Both Rustum and the outraged populace of the heavens ceased their clamour, while Boreas spoke. Let it not be said that the gods dealt unfairly with a mortal, he declared. Let him walk the heavenly floor. If he be immortal, he will survive the trial. This suggestion received the approbation of all but the sacred ape. When it comes to roses, growled he, a god is out of the running with an ape Then sniffling the air, he added decidedly: I am not mistaken, this is a mortal. Notwithstanding the ape ' s disa pproval. Rustum, all the gods and god- dresses thronging round, was led by Boreas down a flight of marble steps, from the foot of which stretched a level floor of gold so bright that Rus- tum ' s eyes were dazzled. What am I to do? asked he, bewildered, when they had reached the last step. You are to proceed five hundred paces over the sacred way which none but Immortal feet may tread in safety, said Boreas. The floor is filled with many a hole — Rustum groaned — - called by mortals stars. But tis only the gleam of the sacred way piercing to the underside of blue, commonly known as the sky. If you be mortal — in a stern tone — you will surely fall, and your body be hurled through space. As to whether you would in that case reach your native earth, he added with a shrug- of his massive shoulders, I cannot tell you. Rustum, trembling, set out on his treacherous path. I am lost, he cried aloud. Scarcely were the words uttered than he felt his foothold giving way. Next instant he was toppling head over heals into space, and, iri his dizzy somersaults, was catching a glimpse now of the rapidly-nearing earth, now of the treacherous star-points glimmering in the sky. So great was the excitement among the Immortals, that one and all, 12 tven the prim-looking goddess, threw manners to the winds, and extending themselves prone upon the heavenly floor, diligently applied an eye to the star-holes, tluit they might view Rustum ' s acrobatics in his aerial flight to- wards earth. ] [ost interested among the divine spectators, was the god of mischief himself. He will blimp hard, observed Boreas. ' His movements canni)t be termed graceful. remarked the prim- looking goddess. The god oi n ' .ischief sat back on his heels, and eyed the Goddess who had lirst spoken as she sprawled in rather an ungainl,- fashion before her star-hole. Neither, O Sister, he said, can thy ] resent ])osture be so termed. The prim-looking goddess hastily rose to her feet, as did all the Im- mortals, looking very ashamed of themselves, and so they missed the wel- come that Rustum was given by the villagers. He landed plump in the middle of the market-place, where all the peasants, having perceived Rustum descending from the clouds, had gathered in great excitement. Hast thou been to heax en . ' they demanded breathlessly. Yea. gasped Rustum. What happened? they cried. I was thrown out as an imposter, returned Rustum gloomilv. for- getting that he should keep up appearances. What? roared the angry villagers, and thou didst declare that thou wast the favoured t f the gods! .And forthwith the y ran to their huts to fetch their clubs. Rustum. with an energy remarkable considering his late breathless flight from the heavens, took to his heels, and was far away before the peasants had returned. As to when he stopped running-, or where his steps led hi ' m. nobody can tell — not, I believe, even the all-knowing gods. D. C. VI. 13 WISHES. I He upon the mossy bank Under the old oak tree, And watch the fleecy clouds float past So high and light and free I wish I were a fleecy cloud Drifting in the sky, For oh ! it must be lovely To go floating up so high.

Professor Ramsav Traquair oi McCJill Uni crs!t ' , Cfave us an extremely interesting illiistraled lectnre on Tlie Dutch School ot Painting. Professor Traqnair stated that up to the fourteenth centur -, the only kind of paintings known in Holland were religious jxinels and illustrations for books. In the beginning of the fifteenth century, however. Hubert and Jan an Evck distinguished themselves as portrait painters and ])ainters of still life. They made the important discovery that a mixture of linseed oil could be used with excellent results on canvass. The pictures of these two men are remarkable for their clear, br ght, vivid colour, jan Van Eyck ' s best known portrait is called ' The Man with the Pink. The character portrayed in the man ' s face is extrat)rdinary. The sixteenth century |)roduced few artists owing to the fact that Holland was engaged in wars with Spain and all her energies were devoted to foreign aflfairs. In the seventeenth centur ' there were many great artists and several lesser ones. Of the tirst Franz Hals deserves mention. His Banquet of Officers at St. George, Cavalier. The Man with a Sword, are all fom- ous. Hals ' Gypsy Girl is a charming portrait full of that virility which is so characteristic of all his pictures. The greatest of all Dutch painters, however, was Rembrandt. He was. said Professor Traquair. not only a painter but an artist. He then proceeded to explain the difference between the two. A man ma ■ lay the colotir on the canvas ])erfectlv, his techniqtie may be faultless, et if his picture lacks sotil, if it is devoid of that elusive something best defined as inspiration, he is only a painter, he cannot be called an artist. Rembrandt ' s picture had that power of expression, the imagination which ranks him as a true artist. His ]MCtures are remarkable for their light and shade eft ' ects. It is interesting to note that Rembrandt was the first artist of the Dutch school who attached mitch importance to shadow. Rembrandt contributed to art the greatest picture of group por- traiture ever painted. He called it The Xight Watch, and it represents a company of militia guarding the gates of a city. This masterpiece, how- ever, was not hailed with delight by those who posed for it. They thought their features should have been more celarlv defined, and they resented the fact that some were standing- in a more prominent position than others. Rem- brandt painted a vast number of portraits, perhaps the most famous of which are The Burgomaster and The Shipbuilder and His Wife . These portraits show character and virility in every line. The colours .are laid on simply, but with the simplicity of a master hand. Great as Rembrandt ' s paintings are, however, they were not popular in his lifetime. The burgomaster and prosperous merchants whom he painted wished to be represented as famous, rich, and powerful. They liked their rich attire and costly ornaments to be painted with precision. Rembrandt was, however, absolutely insensible to p ' ublic opinion. He painted because he loved it, and he did not cheat his art by allowing the petty vanities of people to influence his work. 15 It is sad to reflect that this great artist, ' whose paintings are con- sidered to-day the finest that adoiu the Louvre, died in poverty, neglected by the country to which, through his art, he brought glory. It was not till after Rembrandt ' s death that artists began to paint landscape.. It came graduall}-, starting with paintings of cattle, and flowers from the wealthy merchants ' gardens. Finally, the figures in the picture diminished in importance, while the whole of the artists ' skill was devoted to the landscape. It is almost incredible to think, that in seventy years, Holland pro- duced three to four hundred painters of ability, and two at least— Rembrandt and Hals — of genius. H. T., Form VI. LIFE.

In February Miss Warren gave a very interesting account of Doctor Grenfell ' s splendid missionary work on the Labrador coast. Her address was illustrated by several amusing stories and picturesque accounts of the daily life of the people. Miss Warren described the journey there, and then told of some of the curious names of the boats, which show the humour of the people. One boat in particular was very well named, The Early Devil, owing to the early hour that it arrived and woke all the people in the village. The people live a very simple and hardy out-door life and are ver}- healthy. Their staple food is seal. They eat it, make their clothes from it, and use it to make tents and shoes. Their houses have a very peculiar feature, for they are built on titilts on account of the tide which rises to a great height, and would other- wise flood the lower floors. The men fish practically all day — rising with the dawn and returning home late in the evening with large hauls of cod and other fish, while the vt ' omen look after the children and await their arrival. Doctor Grenfells ' hospitals and schools are scattered all throughout the Labrador coast, and they have proved a splendid help to the people who v ere almost entirely without any medical assistance a few years ago. In order to further the education of the children many are sent to schools and colleges throughout the Dominion, ?,nd many of them have proved great successes. This address aroused our missionary interest greatly, and the school made a splendid donation of $60.00 for the up-keep of a cot in one of the hospitals. M. M. ( Va.) MISS EDGAR ' S LECTURE. One morning in the spring term, we had the pleasure of hearing an mteresting address given by Miss Edgar, who came to speak to us of the countries through which she had travelled. Miss Edgar had indeed been through many different countries of the East but as she did not have very long to speak, she told us of Japan, because it was such a beautiful country as well as being very interesting, for although it is old-fashioned yet it is very modern. Miss Edgar told us of a visit she made to a camp situated at the foot of beautiful Fuji. It appears that this mountain is very hard to get a glimpse of, because as a rule mist covers it. Miss Edgar, however, caught sight of it one morning early ; the beauty was overpowering. Shining through the iTorning mist, touched with the golden light of coming dawn, it seemed too magnificent for human sight. An amusing incident however, occvirred while she was standing enraptured by the beauty, for a very modern airplane passed overhead. This combination of ancient and modern customs was illustrated by a departmental store in one of Japanese cities. Although it was equipped with modern conveniences, the clerks were dressed in the old Japanese costumes, and though there was an orchestra playing modern Jazz, near it stood a small shrine where shoppers could offer prayers to their gods. Another in- stance of this is shown by the fact that in any city ' s streets one could see tiny 22 ' lound feet walking- !the roads while other Japanese o-irls whirled by in motors. ' ith all the beauty and modernisms Japan has, however, it is not a place just tilled with lovely dreams, indeed there are many stories connected with the religion of this far off countrv that are verv terrible and sad. K. A.— IV. b. THE LECTURE BY MR. RUSTUM RUSTUM GEE. In the course of our first term of this year Mr. Rustum Rustum Gee was good enough to devote half an hour of his time to give us a very interest- mg lecture on India. He wished the people over here to understand how peaceful and pros- perous India has been since the British power in the East began. Many very good schools have been founded there, and justice is administered in all the Courts. . very good railway system has grown up in India, and many of the dryest districts have been well irrigated, thanks to the efforts of British en- gineers. This is exceedingly helpful for the transportation of food and grain ;n times of famine, and for keeping the desert land moister. Mr. Rustum Rustum Gee pointed out that the idea of Britain imposing on India as regards her riches was entirely wrong, and that Britain, on the contrarv. has more than once sent her large sums of mone} ' free of interest. This address on India was verv much appreciated by the whole school, and was considered one of-the most interesting we have ever had the pleasure L.f hearing. M. A.—y. a. DR. BARNARDO ' S HOMES. In November Miss Bentham came to speak to us about the Dr. Bar- nardo Homes. She told us about the lowly beginning of this work and how gradually it has grown to be on : of the most widely known institutions in the Empire. Probably no man has done more to save and protect child- rife than Dr. Barnardo. One particular incident related was that of Carrots, a poor little urchin, w ' ho, late one night came to the Doctor ' s home. As accommodations were scarce, he told the little boy to come back in a few days. However, a day or so later they found the bodv of Carrots who had died of hunger and cold. Since then no home of Dr. Barnardo has ever refused to any homeless child a night ' s shelter and food. Miss Bentham finished with an appeal to all Canadian citizens for the aid and support of these wonderful life-saving homes. H. M.— V. CLOSING, 192L The closing exercises took place on Wednesday, June 15th, about 11 o ' clock in the Gymnasium. The programme was brief, consisting of a few songs and hvmns sung by the Upper and Lower Schools. Dr. Duncan gave an interesting address after which be presented prizes to those girls having the highest average of their form. They were as follows : — Form I. — iNIuriel Carsley, Kathleen Perrin. P orm ' . — Jean Falconer. Form I ' . — Laura Robertson. Form III. — Beatrice Carter. Mr. Carsley presented to the school a very beautiful Union Jack 23 in appreciation of what Trafalgar had done for his daughters, Ethel and Muriel, who are both graduates of this school. After this the school was dismissed, the VI. th Form iViatriculation Class going over to the House, where they were entertained at luncheon previous to setting off for their last examination at McGill. On Saturday May 7th, the Fifth Form gave the Staff and Sixth Form d picnic. It was a beautiful day, and about twelve o ' clock a large bus called at the school for the teachers and girls. The ride was delightful, if slow, -ind it was only after a great deal of hesitation that a place was chosen for the picnic, near Cartierville. Nearly all tlie picnickers strolled off to ijjck flowers, and the few that remained prepared lunch. After lunch games of various kinds were played and then all re- turned to the city, by the Lake Shore Road, after a very enjoyable day. Le soir du 24 fevrier, deux pieces frangaises furent jouees par les eleves de differentes classes sous la direction de Mademoiselle Juge. La premiere de ces pieces fut Barbe-Bleue, Le premier acte se passe chez Dame Gertrude qui donne une fete en I ' honneur de ses filles Blanche et Anne. Le chevalier Roland aime Blanche et voudrait I ' epouser, mais il est pauvre. Barbe Bleue est aussi amoureux de Blanche, et il est riche. A la fm de I ' acte, Blanche est fiancee a Barbe-Bleue. Le chevalier Roland va chercher fortune. Au deuxieme acte, Barbe Bleue, avant de partir en voyage, laisse les clefs de sa maison a Blanche, sa femme. II lui permet d ' ouvrir toutes les chambres sans une. Apres le depart de son mari, Blanche, intriguee par le mystere qu ' elle soupgonne dans cette petite clef, ne pent resister a la tentation d ' ouvrir la chambre defendue. EUe s ' evanouit d ' horreur a la vue des six femmes mortes de Barbe Bleue. Au troisieme acte Barbe Bleue revient de son voyage. Quand il entre la chambre mysterieuse, il entre dans une violente colere. La pauvre Blanche est condamnec a mourir. Heureusenient le chevalier Roland arrive a temps pour la sauver et tuer Barbe Bleue. Blanche comprend alors le grand amour du chevalier Roland et lui accorde sa main. Le role de Barbe Bleue fut tres bien joue par Cecile Bouchard; Ger- trude Nieghorn fut une charmante Blanche et Betty Duflf delicieuse dans Soeur Anne. Le role de Madame Gertrude fut joue d ' une fagon imposante par Janet Smart. Doris Johnston a tres bien rendu le role du chevalier Roland. La deuxieme piece fut, Les amoureux de Columbine . Columbine a trois amoureux. Pierrot, qui est sincere, jeune, et pauvre; Polichinelle qui est riche, laid et vaniteux, Arlequin, beau, egoiste et leger. Columbine fait la coquette, les encourage tous, mais a la fin elle comprend que Pierrot scul est sincere et bon. Elle lui donne son coeur. Les costumes et les decors furent executes par les eleves. Toute la soiree fut un grand succes. FIFTH FORrvT PICNIC, 192L REPRESENTATIONS FRANCAISES. Colombine Polichinelle Pierrot . . . Constance Murray . . Dorothy Doody . .

The action of the play takes place in the early 19th century, and showed clearly the rather monotonous, suppressed lives of the genteel ladies of their T;eriod. Al- though there is a touch of humour here and there, there is also a somewhat plaintive note underlying the story. Miss Phoebe, acted with delicate grace by Margery d ' Arcy, is forced by financial difficulties to teach some select pupils. Her lover has been •ibsent at war for several years, and everyone considers Miss Phoebe to be an old maid. In defiance of this opinion. Miss Phoebe goes to the ball, and there meets her lover. The play ends happily, with a touch of pathos in rhe last scene, when Miss Phoebe reproaches Mr. Brown for his treatment of her. The plav leaves one with a sense of intimate acquaintance witn Miss Susan, Miss Phoebe, Captain Brown, and the three interested neighbours. Ensign Blades, Applecheeks and Charlotte Parrot lend an amusing touch to the last act. The cast of characters is as follows : — Miss Phoebe Throstle . Miss Susan Throstle .... Valentine Brown Miss Willoughby Miss Fannie Willoughby Miss Henrietta TurnbuU Ensign Blades Charlotte Parrot Recruiting Sergeant . . . . Patty Master Arthur Miss Isabella . . . Margery d ' Arcy Ruth Starr Isabel McLaughlin Margaret Robertson . . . Kathleen Perrin . . . .Esther England Roba Dunton . . Frances Walker Marion Smith . . . .

Every success is wished her in her teaching there, and the staff wish to extend to her their thanks for her help in the past. In Miss Muir ' s place the Magazine staflf is very glad to welcome Miss Bryan. It is impossible to thank ] Iiss Bryan enough for the work she has done, but the editors take this opportunity to tell of their appreciation for the way in which she has given her time. It is in great measure due to her assistance that it has been possible for us to accomplish as much in this issue. The Magazine Staff is mdebted to Mile. Fauteux for the caricatures of the Sixth f orm, which appear in another section of this cop} ' . She is thanked whole-heartedly by all. The Trafalgar Scholarship of 1921 was divided between Margaret Robertson and Kathleen Perrin, who were ranked equal in the Matricula- tion results. These two girls headed the list from Trafalgar, while Muriel Carsley, Esther England. Katharine Falconer, and Marion Smith, all passed lanking high in every subject. This year ■Mrs. Beard has very kindly offered another cup wdiich is to be awarded to the girl who has distinguished herself as the best all-round sport and athlete during the school year. Mrs. Beard ' s interest in our sports is greatly appreciated, and all girls are eagerly entering the com- petition for so high an honour. 27 ECHOES FROM JULIUS CAESAR Form VI.

Three men started out from Boston with the idea of going on a fishing trip in the Maine Woods. After a long journey by train they arrived at their station, then they drove nine miles into the woods, until they came to a shack where thev made their headquarters. After a ver} jolly time the next morning they started out to fish. When they got home that evening they found everything upset. The window was broken, and the railing of the porch was broken too, but when they went inside thev found everything in a terrible state and they thought perhaps bears had been after the maple sugar. They had, the;, must have stood up on their hind legs to reach the on the shelf. After the men found out that it must have been bears they did not think it was safe to sleep without someone on guard. So it was planned that one of the three would take a gun and go outside and wait to see if anything came. Sure enough in the middle of the night the man heard someone coming towards him and soon he saw a bear, so he raised his gun and shot him. They found out that it was a very large bear, and the fishers went home very much excited over their experience. Form I. 32 MY GRANNY ' S HOME IN ENGLAND. Last year I was staying at a dear little place called Caistor, on the Lincolnshire A ' olds. It used to be a Roman Camp, and the Church now stands where the Roman Castle was, and there are still pieces to be seen of the walls. One day a man was digging in his garden and he dug up some curious bones, so he sent them to the British Sluseum and thev were foimd out to be animal ' s bones which must have been buried there since Ixi man times. There were so many of these bones that people think that that is where the Castle slaughter house must have been. Caistor is full of springs of lovely water, and one can see them bubbling up in lots of the streets. One is called the Eye Spring, and is supposed to be verv good for bathing weak eyes. Some of theni in the Hundon alley feel quite warm even in the middle of winter. This little place called Hundon is noted because the Knights of Hundon used to live there. They were Crusaders who fought in the Holy Wars and their tombs are in the Church near the pew in which I used to sit. Thev are two stone figures of Knights in armour and one has his legs crossed at the knee and the other at the ankle. In the old garden at Himdon there is a beautiful old Cedar tree which they brought home from the Holy Land. They say a horseshoe is a lucky thing To you good luck I ' m sure ' twill bring But try and find a silvery one. Then tons of luck I hope you ' ve won. And when you ' ve had your share of fun, Then pass it to another chum. S. F. UP. I. THE HORSESHOE. H. C. II. 33 f J Do(?

The Modern ELlucatiDiial Swedish Gymnastic Table is exercise that we use to make all our muscles move so as to get every part of our body strong. In olden days they used clulis which is a very bad thing for our bodies as we cross our arms in swinging them. In which case we do not have enough air in our lungs, and we crowd our bodies up in crossing our arms. Part II. — About the Brain. There is a little man in our brain wlui tells us what to do each time we move. But first he has to make a road to send the message down, so he works hard and at last he sends the message down safely. Some- times he sends a message to our arms when it should have been sent down to our feet and so of course we do the wrong thing, but after he begins to understand, and after quite a while of hard thinking he does the right thing. That is Avhat happens when we lirst learn things. A. D. (I.) TO THE ROBIN. Robin ! O Robin ! Where art thou? Haunting the forests? Or sitting on an elm bough ? Robin ! O Robin ! Where art thou?

He clapped his hands and a number of goblins came forward with beautiful jewels, robes and many other beautiful things; but the Queen refused. So you refuse, do you? said the King. Take her away to the Dungeon. The poor Queen was taken away and thrown in a dark dungeon, over- run with rats and mice. Meanwhile the fairies were in consternation at the loss of their Queen. At last a young Lord named Cyril ofifered to go and try release her. Ho set out and when he neared the Goblin ' s Castle he put on an old cloak to hide his wings. The Sentinels took no notice of him so he easily got into the castle. Just as he got inside he saw the Queen being led to the King, so he followed. Well, my dear, will you be my wife now or would you like to stay in the dungeon a while longer? I shall never marry you, answered the Queen, even if I have to spend the rest of my life in the dung ' eon. Take her away, ordered the King. Lord Cyril followed to see where the Queen was put and that night he crept up at the back of the warder and killed him with his sword and then released the Queen. But when they reached the gate there was another goblin standing there, so Lord Cyril killed him, and then they quickly flew on to the Queen ' s Castle. The next day the Queen offered to make Lord Cyril King, but he re- fused. There is only one whom I wish to wed and Lord Goma, her father, will not give his consent, he answered. I will see if I cannot persuade him, answered the Queen. The Queen saw Lord Goma and at last he consented that his daughter, Dewdrop, should marry Lord Cyril. The next day they were married and as a wedding gift the Queen gave them a quarter of her kingdom. M.C. H. H.S. n. 36 THE SPARROW.

THE BANQUET, 1921. There is always one day in the year to which we boarders look forward to eagerly, that is the day before closing, on the night of which we always have a banquet. At the banquet, which is planned by the 5th and 6th Form girls, we are able to do exactlv as we like ( without any fear of bad mark), and consequently we take the opportunity to have as good a time as we possibly can. The banquet last June was no exception to the rule ! At 7 o ' clock the gong sounded and we all trooped down to the dining loom which had been com.pletelv transformed by verv prettv decorations for the occasion. The table had been rearranged and decorated and ut each place was a place-card on which was written a verse about the girl and beside it was a favour Some of the favours were verv funny indeed and caused many of us to blush and hide our faces in shame ! During the banquet some toasts were given and responded to bv the older girls. At 8.30 we all went into the Rec. room to dance. Some strayed out into the garden and wandered around until about 10.30. Then after having had a marvellous time we sang Auld Lang Syne and went upstairs for a last sleep at Traf. M. D. IV. a. 38 ll) The Morning Walk. (2) A Merry Quintette. (3) A Hard Tussel.

Torrington, E. Rogers. Guards: — M. Dixon, G. Holman. CANDY DAY. Not a sound was heard throughout the dormitory except for the occasional rustling of leaves of some book of love or adventure. Suddenly the silence was broken by a bell sounding far off in the hall below. A few of the brisker spirits arose languidly and sauntered down to biscuits. Scarcely a minute later a piercing voice shrilled forth Candy Day! Then silence fled in fear, books were closed with a bang and Lhe pattering of many feet was heard down the stairs. Finally that room, beloved by all the boarders, the dining room, was reached. There in the centre of the-room stood a solitary figure, a veritable 40 pyramid of boxes — boxes of fudge, boxes of chocolates, boxes of all sizes and shapes, little ones, big ones, under the weight of which the brave girl trug■gled to hold her own. A scuffle ensued silent but desperate. hive minutes later a draggled being emerged from the conflict shook oft the hoard of candy papers and tottered weakly to a chair. However, her heartless besiegers ignored her distress and danced away gaily, while munching candies to the glad refrain of ' April Showers. M M. V. a. SPRING FEVER. The most terrible of all diseases is Spring Fever. It comes forth out oi the silver dawn of April and its infection is spread by every drop of every April Shower. It breathes in the wind and sings in the trees gripping every person and thing from the tiniest crawling insert to the largest most ostenta- tious and be-whiskered man in its relentless grip. One of the chief symptoms displac ed in animals — for instance squirrels — is a delightful manifestation of the pure joy of living. They chatter and caper about in the trees, while the more serious minded build homes for their little spring families. The tiny flies awake and buzz forth with all the glad tidings to all the world. The flowers and grass and the trees and birds unite in one delirious . ong, for they too have caught the infection of spring. Perhaps however, mortals are the most interesting subjects at this season, particularly cliildren. The first signs of the malady are a certain dreaminess and a pronounced dislike to lessons and books, especially Ger- man and Algebra. I know, because I have a most serious attack. I en- deavour to study, but. in vain, the pages grow dim before my eyes, and the trees, flowers and birds all dance before me and blur the pages and dazzle my eyes. Yes, Spring Fever is the most terrible of all diseases; there is no cure for it save summer. M. M. V. A BOARDERS ' ENTERTAINMENT. On Friday evening. January 20th, the boarders were varied and original. They caused the audience much amusement. A short entertainment was given by a few of the girls consisting of several amusing stunts. A woolv-west movie entitled ' ild Nell was the chief item on the programme. It was a thrilling tale of the far west, where blood-thirst, Indians swing tomahawks and utter lusty war-whoops, and it was thorough- ly appreciated by all. L. Trenholme and F. Warter the Indi?.ns, played their parts to per- fection and G. Holman made an extremely dashing hero. The remainder of the programme consisted of an exhibition of danc- ing by the members of Miss Edward ' s class (:n which M. Dixon and M. Marpole did their celebrated Cave-man dance ) and one or two short skits. When the curtain went down for the last time, refreshments were served and then the boarders trooped off to bed, all affirming that they had a most enjoyable party. 41 THE DRAGON. The Dragon is an Irish play, written by Lad Gregory in 1917. It is a wonder play, and was successfully produced at the Abbey Theatre in Dublin a couple of years ago. It has never been acted publicly in Canada, but, judging from the success which attended the performance given b the Trafalgar House Girls last March, it would be very greatly appreciated. The outline of the story is as follow : — Centuries ago, in the wonder days of Ireland, when Dragons scourged that Island, and magicians lived, who could foretell the dark and mystic future, there lived in a castle a Princess with her father and nurse, and last but not least, her stepmother the Queen. The whimsical and odd little Princess who m spite of her capricious ways, won all hearts, was very like Everald Farrar herself, especially when she hardly knew what was her right element. The King, who had only two interests in life — his food and his daug ' hter, was a bearded, bulky figure. and it was not until he eagerly exclaimed with kindling e_ es and quivering voice, Oh, for one little slab of that venison ham ! that we recognized Annie Johnson. It is not enough to say that Mary Murrav acted the part of the old Nurse; she did more than that — she lived it. With her rich brogue, expressive gestures, and bent old figure, she presented a touching picture of old-world devotion and loyalty to her young charge. The Queen, a great manager of people who never annoyed an} one but for then- own good, was the only disturbing factor in the peaceful life of this happy trio. Not only had she annoyed the King hy putting him on short-rations and had driven the wayward Princess into rebellion by a too suddenly reformed time-table, but she had so exasperated the cook that he had decamped at a moment ' s notice — himself and his four- und-twenty apprentices ! We wondered to see our quiet Kathleen Anderson suddenly transformed into this very convincing shrew of a Queen; such a change of heart we never did see ! While the King sat in a dull stupor, trying to forget the departure of the cook, there entered an ancient bearded man in flowing black garments. This impressive old figure (who would have recognized Freda Warter?), at once received much attention, for he was Finton, the Court Astrologer. But Iiis news filled all with fear. Raising a skinny forefinger, he pronounced the doom of the Princess in these terrifying words : — You yourself will be ate and devoured by a scaly, green Dragon from the North ! Then he hobbled cut, leaving a panic-stricken (Tourt behind him. What was to be done now to save the wayward Princess? The Queen eagerly suggested immediate mar- riage which might not only save the Princess, but would incidentally rid her of a troublesome stepdaughter; but Nuala had refused all suitors. Even the Prince of the Marshes she had ruthlessly rejected. The King, driven to 42 desperation by many troubles of the day, vowed in a moment of anger that he would wed his daughter to the first man that entered the house. At that very moment along the dusty road towards the Palace, there was hastening a young man dressed, it is tru e, as a cook, but with tiie bear- ing of a King. His arrival was a timely one for the Queen, for she was be- ginning to discover with alarm that lier husband was much more difficult to manage in the absence of a good cook. The newcomer turned to be a great lad behind the sauceoans . I had rather have one goose cooked by liim than seven cooked by any other , declared the greedy old King, and what higher praise could a cook want? Meanwhile the old Nurse had d ' scovcred that the young man was no cook, but was in reality the King of Sorcha whom she had tended as a child. The romantic old woman immediately set her heart upon a marriage between her nurslings. But fresh trouble soon arose. A supercilious, over-dressed young man, claiming to be the King of Sorcha, came to the Palace; and, an- nouncing that he had heard of the King ' s vow. demanded the hand of the Princess m marriage. Now the Nurse was in a frenzy, knowing that this new suitor was an imposter; the Queen, suspecting that the cook, who had also heard of the King ' s vow, was aspiring to the hand of the Princess, was determined to banish him ; the King was equally determined that nothing would in- I ' uce him to give up his new-found treasure of a cook. At this juncture Finton again made his appearance, and this time his news was more terrifying than on his previous visit. The Dragon, he de- clared, had arrived, and was at that very moment hurrying towards the Palace for his prey! All now was confusion and panic. The false Prince, on hearing of the Dragon, was shown in his true light — a coward, and was humiliated by being driven home in disgrace by his mother, a wild-looking peasant from the mountains (we have never seen Editha Johnston create :iuch a sensation before!) To the amazement of all, Manus, the cock, went out boldly to fight the Dragon, while the Princess swooned with terror and lay apparently dead. Here the Prince of the Marshes saved the situation by giving to the old Nurse his most cherished possession — three leaves from the Tree of Power, that grows by the Well of Healing. Nuala, at the touch of these magic leaves, awakened from her death-like slumber, not only i-o find Manus, her share of the world, ' ' by her side, but also a very sub- dued beast, a Dragon that pitifully demands nuts for his meal instead of royal maidens; for had not the conquering Manus changed the fierce heart within him for the heart of a little squirrel of the woods. So ends the play happily for all concerned. It only remains to be added that the heroic young cook was no other than Victoria Torrington who succeeded in being lofty, even in that menial position, while Monica Marpole, true to herself, caused shouts of laughter when she appeared as Taig the Tailor. Jane Warter and Alice McKinnon may pla} a happier role in life than •■hat of maiden aunt, but we are sure they will never be more successful than 43 when they mothered their gentle and unassuming nephew Norah Sullivan. The part of Dall Glic, the blind wise attendant, who could see more with one eye than any other would see with two was played by Gerda Holman, while Connie Murray with her helmet and spear( made a striking figure as the Gatekeeper. Eileen Whillans, May Fluhman, and Rowena Cotton gave an oriental touch to the play, in their role of coloured magic slaves. We owe the success of the play to Miss Bryan, who g ave up so much of her time to help us. Many thanks are also due to Doreen McAvitv and Jane Warter, who not only cut out and stencilled the cos- tumes, but also gave much assistance behind the scenes. The girls gave their costumes to form the nucleus of a property cupboard, an idea suggested by Miss Bryan, which we hope will be very useful to the future House girls of Traf. E.

Gymnasium. The game was a decided victory for Miss Edgar ' s team, the first score being 33-15. The result showed the defeated team clearly that a great deal of practice was needed. Trafalgar ' s team was as follows : Shooters: — M. Marpole, G. Harrison. Centres : — R. Dunton, G. Scott. Guards: — M. Parker, G. Holman. The second practice match was played on February 28th, in the Trafalgar Gymnasium. Miss Edgar ' s team plaved well, and although Tra- falgar worked hard, the game ended in favor of the visiting team with a score of 40-36. Trafalgar team was as follows :— Shooters: — G. Harrison, H. IMcLaughlin. Centres: — R. Dunton, G. Scott. Guards: — M. Parker, B. Wardwell. GYMNASIUM COMPETITION. Last year Miss Edwards gave all the classes exercises and drills to compete for the Inter-form shield. For about three weeks everyone was at her best, trying to obtain the greatest number of marks possible. After a great deal of good, hard work, the shield was won in the lower school by Form I., and Upper II., and in the Upper School by Form VI. The judges in this competition were Miss Cartwright of Royal Victoria College, and Colonel Gilday. 47 FINAL CUP MATCH, 1921, On May 11th, 1921 in the M.A.A.A. Gymnasium, a most exciting basket ball match was played between Miss Edgar s and Miss Cramp ' s School and Trafalgar. The teams were very well matched and the game was hotly contested up to the very last. It was the best game played throughout the year, and it was only after a very hard and hot struggle that Trafalgar won by three points, the score being 22 to 17. The Finlay Cup was presented to the Captain, Elise Dunton, by Dr. Duncan after the match. As Trafalgar had won the final matches for two years in succession, we got the cup permanently. Afterwards, Mrs. Maxwell kindly entertained both teams at her home on Peel Street. THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT. Last fall a tennis tournament was commenced, and although practic- ally completed, could not be finished, because of the rainy weather. Now that spring and good weather have come, an efi: ' ort will be made to continue the games. A cup is to be presented to the winner of the final match. THE GYMNASTIC DEMONSTRATION. The annual gymnastic demonstration took place on the 17th of March. There was a large audience and every seat was filled at least fifteen minutes before eight o ' clock, when the doors opened and the performance began. The prog-ramme may be divided into two distinct parts, the gymnastic v,-ork and the interpretative dancing. The gymnastic work included the following: — ■■Junior Gym. Table. Apparatus Work. Intermediate Gym. Table. Weekly Drill Inspection. Boom Jumps. Senior and Junior Bean Bag Competition. One of the most amusing features of the programme was the Vv eekly Drill Inspection by Form II. The companies were first inspected by Miss Edwards, then followed the drill of each division separately, under their respective officers. Afterwards, each division critized the other. They were all very eager to find some flaw in the work of their opponents, and not one was at a loss to find something to say whether good- or bad. Some very good work was done on the apparatus, including balancing which was especially appreciated by the audience; climbing, work at the rib-stalls and at the boom. The Junior Intermediate and Senior Gym. Tables were a great suc- cess, especially good work being done by the Intermediates. This was a very large class, but although cramped for room every girl gave one the feeling that she knew how much depended upon her, for the honour of her class and school, and was determined to do her very best.  48 There was much enthusiasm over the Bean-Bag Competition. The junior competition was won bV Form IT and the Senior by Form III. a. 1 he boom-jumps were excellent, and the girls put a great deal of energy and o.p:rit into their work — some having a wonderfiil spring. The dances were as follows: — The Modern Dances. The Eightsome Reel. The Sunbonnet Dance. The Welsh Dance. The Forsaken Merman. The Modern Dances wc-e greatly appreciated bv all and much niterest was shown in the new Lizetta Waltz. The Eightsome Reel made a striking picture, with the girls in their kilts and bare knees, al- though their hoots were the cause of much merriment. The younger dancing class won the hearts of all present by their Sunbonnet Dance, and the little Welsh Dancers in their red cloaks and tall black hats. The last feature of the evening programme was The Forsaken Mer- man specially adapted for the occasion from Matthew Arnold ' s poem. All lights went out and before the astonished audience could collect their senses, the spot light flashed on to a young girl sitting- at her spinning-wheel. She is a young mermaid, who has left her home under the sea. While she is singing the youngest baby of the mermaid family comes in and begs her to return to her home. In the far distance, the voices of the distracted merman and mermaidens are heard calling her to return Margaret! IMargaret! Margaret! The next scene is under tiie sea and we are introduced to the jelly-fish, lobsters, anemones, 03 Sters, sea- weed maidens, and last of all the merman himself. They are all broken- hearted at the loss of their dear mother and no efforts of the sea -shell maidens can comfort the merman. Suddenly, howeTer, the little mermaid appears bringing in her mother. They are all overcome with joy, and after a wild, but beautiful dance together, the merman and Margaret sit down on the throne. They accept the pearls the little oysters bring as tribute and then all go off to hear the fisherman who is heard singing-, as he mends his nets. The whole school filed in. in a grand march, and Dr. Duncan present- ed the captains ' and lieutenants ' badges, and also three Trafalgar Basket- ball badges. After a short address by Dr. Duncan, complimenting Miss Edwards and the girls on their splendid work; God Save The King wa. sung and the girls marched out — tired but happv. J. W. VI. THE AIM AND OBJECT OF MODERN SWEDISH GYMNASTICS. Years ago. when our grandmothers, and great grandmothers, went to «chooI, gymnastics was not an important part of the school schedules. They u. ed to think their children went to school only to learn, and not to de- velop their bodies. But since then people have changed their opinions parents realize that their children ' s bodies should be developed as u ell do their minds. At first, however, the gj-mnastic work was not perfect. The exercises were not well balanced. Too much attention was given to certain muscles, and not enough to others. The pupils were given a great deal of apparatus work; parallel bars, horse, clubs and rings, for instance. These exercises, though undoubtedly splendid for boys, and even for girls, if they are strong, and well developed, are too strenuous for the ordinary gymnastic class of 49 yirls, because they are apt to overstrain the heart and internal organs. Too much club swinging is not approved of now, because, in this exercise many of the positions are cramped, also it is not correct to have the arms above the head foo much , because this overtaxes the heart. Parallel bars are not used very much now with the girls, because as a rule girls have not the strength to lake the correct positions, therefore their shoulders hump. So now gymnasium instructors have changed their methods. They give Swedish exercises, that will develop every part of the body uniformly. These exercises cause the blood to circulate freely, thus carrying away im- purities, and nourishing the various muscles. Swedish exercises can be done by anyone, so in a large class, there are none who ' can ' t do it. ' They are all exercises that help the body to be developed in the most correct wav. Every exercise now has a more or less corrective effect to counteract the many standing and sitting positions of everv day life. The aim of boys ' gymnastic instruction is to make the boys strong and hardy. But as girls are not as strong physically as boys, the aim of girls ' instructors is the harmonious development of all the muscles of the body, with none of the muscles over developed; and absolute co-ordination of mind and body. They wish their girls to stand uprig-ht, and look the world in the face, to have a good carriage, and be happy, healthy girls. A good motto for all gymnastics is, In corpore sano, which means A healthy mind in a healthy bod}-. G. C, Form V. GAMES ACCOUNTS.

Trafalgar is to be congratulated on having joined the number of private schools which have taken up Girl Guiding!!! With the approval of the Board of Governors and of the Principal, a Company was formed with a membership of over thirty girls and has been duly registered at Canadian Headquarters as the 14th Montreal and 1st Trafalgar Company — I say 1st Trafalgar, because one naturally expects more than one Company in a school this size, Havergal College and Bishop Strachan School, Toronto having six and three Companies respectively. The 14th is to be officered entirely by Old Trafalgar Girls, and the first to volunteer for this service are Helen Ogilvie, who is Captain pro. tem., Marjorie Spier, Anita Warden and Margaret Mackenzie; the last is a new and most promising recruit to the Movement, while Helen Ogilvie and Marjorie Spier are Captains of other Companies already, and Anita Warden is Secretary for Montreal and District and has charge of the Girl Guide Office, so one can judge how very keen their interest in Guiding is and also that they feel the best service they can in loyalty give to their old School is to help in promoting this grear Movement for girls. The Girl Guide Movement is spreading rapidly throughout Canada the membership now being nearly 20,000, and of course its ' success in the Old ( ountry has long since been assured. The President is Princess iNIary, Viscountess Lascelles, and the Chief Guide is Lady Baden-Powell, while m Canada the Chief Commissioner is Mrs. H. D. Warren. As most people know, it is on parallel lines to the Boy Scout Move- ment but is quite distinct, its activities being naturally arranged to suit the tastes and capabilities of girls. It makes for better citizenship, develop- ment of character and resourcefulness, sympathy and understanding between girls, healthful living and a fine sense of honour. It is a Movement for every race, creed and class, and while it is essentially patriotic, it is most emphatically non-militaristic and non-political. Beyond one general Church Parade a year at which the Guides attend the Church of their own faith, public parades are discouraged, and Guides in uniform are not allowed to sell in the streets for Tag or Flower Days. The method of organization is to form a Company which may consist of from 16 to 40 in number, with a Captain and one or two Lieutenants, and is divided into Patrols of 8 Guides with a Patrol-Leader and Second. Each week the Officers and Patrol-Leaders meet for a few minutes to discuss Company plans, inake out a program for the next week, and talk over any changes or difficulties which may arise, and each Patrol-Leader gives a report of her Patrol. This gives the Leaders a sense of responsibility and bring ' s them, and through them the Guides, into close touch with their Officers. This meeting is called the Court of Honour and is one of the most important parts of the Guide Organization. Another important thing is that the Guide meetings are held out of doors whenever possible and trails and nature-study form part of the program, while there is always a game each week whether the Guides are out or indoors. The first test to be passed after a Guide has joined the Company is called the Tenderfoot ; she has to learn the composition of the Union Jack and how to fly it, the salute, some wood-craft signs, some knots, the Guide Laws and the Guide Promise which is to do her best to Honour God and the King, to help other people at all tim.es and to obey the Guide Laws (see over). After he is formally enrolled, she goes on to take the Second 52 Class test which is much fuller and includes the Morse Signalling code. As soon as a Guide has passed this Second Class test she may enter for Pro- iiciency Badges which are worn on the right sleeve ; there are nearly 60 of these Badges and they are divided into four classes. In the Character and Intelligence division are those for music, painting, literature, and languages, in the Service division are the Ambulance Badge and those for Domestic Science i n all its branches ; in the Handicrafts and Photo- graphy. Toy-making, and Poultry-farming, and in the ' Physical Develop- ment section are the Boatswain ' s, Horsewoman ' s, Cyclist ' s, Swimmer ' s, Gymnast ' s. Dancer ' s and Motorist ' s Badges. The choice of these Badges is left to the individual Guide to a very great extent and the knowledge which the work needed to earn them brings, will stand any girl in good stead whatever her future may be. An oppor- tunity is thus given to develop the tastes of girls from ages of eleven to sixteen, for it is between these ages that they may join a Guide Company. The uniform of navy blue is simple, smart and inexpensive, the cost coming well under $5.00. The 14th Montreal Company is making splendid progress and I am watching it with keen interest ; almost all the Guides are already enrolled. I expect great things of a Company attached to a School with the tradi- tions of Trafalgar and we must bear in mind that it is to Companies of this kind that we look to provide the future Officers of this great and growing Movement. All success to the 14t]i Montreal!!!! LOUISE DUNCAN,  Commissioner for iMontreal and District. THE GUIDE LAW. 1. A Guide ' s honour is to be trusted. 2. A Guide is loyal. 3.
