To be provincial, in the bad sense, is to have no interests outside our own limited world and to have no sympathy with anything that is outside .our experience. Provincial is quite dsitinct from practical, though most provincial people call themselves practical and like themselves none the less for the characteristic. We should all be practical. If we viewed the world as a panorama and ourselves in it, in our true proportion, we should think it unimportant whether we shaved or cleaned our shoes: but luckily we are practical enough to devote a certain amount of time each day to these matters of purely personal importance. It is. further. our duty to devote our practical energies to our own sphere of life, however small: otherwise the doctor would read his news- paper and refuse to prescribe for colds, and the policeman would think about the nature of the universe and let the tratlic go where it liked. In a school. as much as any- where, we must let our own world loom very large, because we belong to it and because, if we are not making our mark upon it, we are not making our mark anywhere. But that is not provinciality. Putting all our ener- gies into a job because it is our job is a very different thing from thinking that our own job is the only one in which we need take any interest. This is a very narrow attitude and dangerously easy to get into. This is pro- vinciality. and a noisome and horrid vice. It manifests itself in a boorish disregard for strangers, inability to include in a conversation people who do not belong to our own community and the constant use of all the same expressions as our friends use. To put the matter briefly it is a vice which makes us absolutely undesirable outside the walls of our own world and which will make us the tnore disliked the further we move from home. If this isn't enough to make us avoid it. the following arguments should. In an age when so many things are happening and we have so many means of hearing about them, it is highly unreasonable to turn our backs to the world and give all our time to the contemplation of our own school or town. There are ideas tioating around which would help us along enormously in our everyday life and help, through us. the body to which we belong: but we can't get at them unless we open our windows and let them iioat in, or even put our heads some way out and catch them. What was the Renaissance in Europe but the opening of such a window and a rush of all the cleverest people to open more windows and stick their heads out as far as possible 'Z Some of them fell out, but Europe thrived and grew strong through their experi- ments. Now the great thing about provinciality is that as it is such an easy vice to acquire it is also most easy to avoid. Given the one fact that we don't think ourselves altogether too good for the world. there are several ways in which we can become broad-minded. But the pleasant- est and surest and easiest way is reading. Nearly all reading is a broadening of the mind. A good daily news- paper, which has the art of selecting the most interesting news from all over the world fwithout twisting it to suit a political party or to show the fulfilment of a prophecy made in these columns in a previous issue J is a regular tonic for provinciality. But books are the best of all. They can show us people and places which We shouldn't otherwise see, point out our ignorance in a polite way which we can't possibly resent, and do all that can be done to show us our true place in the scheme of creation. Of course some books are better than others, but it can be taken for granted that our intelligent readers never waste their time reading bad ones. And what is the moral? Simply that we must look on provinciality as an enemy which must be kept out of this paper at all costs. He will do his best to come in because school magazines are one of his favorite play- grounds. He shows his tiresome countenance in the form of school gossip, and jokes which can only be understood by members of the school. But if it can be shown in these pages that this paper represents a body that is wide awake. looking at the world and taking it in, reading and judging wisely what it reads, then we shall have over- come provinciality and justified ourselves, by proving that a school paper need not be provincial and that the less provincial it is the more interestnig it will be, not only to outsiders, but to ourselves.
