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.

TRINITY t'tll,I.ICGE SCIIUUI. IlI'It'UIiIJ 0'3l.'l.1l'gl' Slum' George Ince spent five years ot' his life at T. C. S., from 1884 to 1888. He was born August lst. 1873, and died on July 3rd, 1928. He was one ofthe most popular boys ot' his period, on account of his kindly disposition and generous spirit. This popularity followed him throughout his future life, and he has always inspired affection in his as- sociates, from time to time. He had the great distinction of winning the Open Championship in Track Athletics in 1888, although he was eligible for the fifteen-year and under class, which corresponded nearly with the Junior School ot' today. This was considered a great achievement, especially as he was competing with boys three and four years older than himself. The last few years of his life had been painful, as he suffered severely from rheumatism, and his death is really a happy release. l'p to the last, however, he maintained his cheery outlook and fortitude. Qlllilliant tbvurgv flute BilIy , as he was invariably and affectionately known by all his friends, entered the Junior School in September 1925, at the age of twelve and a half years. He took a very full share in all that the School did in work and play and he passed into the Middle School in September 1927, being placed in the Shell Form where he soon rose to the head of the Form and was promoted to the Lower Remove. In the Midsummer examinations he was ranked head of the new Form in spite of a month's absence through sickness. He was a very keen Athlete and did particularly well in the Gym- nasium, receiving his Littleside colours at the Annual Competition. He left for the holidays at the end of Trinity Term apparently recovered from his sickness. The death of his father shortly after his return home affected him very deeply and a fresh infection attack- ed him and proved fatal on August 9th, He was the third of his name in three generations to be a member of the School, and his short, bright, active life gave pro- mise of adding further lustre to one of the School's greatest names. Our sincere sympathy is given to his mother who in a few short weeks lost both husband and son.

In this regard we hope these pages speak I-trl'1ll l'llSt'IX4'S. They may be lacking in worth but not in sincerity ol' el'- fort: and it is our hope that this modest beginning rnawc mature, through a year's experimenting. into a publica- tion ot' which the New School may well be proud. Now, Trinity College School is more than an ar- chitectural pile: it is an institution built ot' the practi- cal and spiritual expression ot' her boys, past and pres- ent. If we can record the performance ot' this wider connotation ot' T. C. at frequent intervals. we shall all be brought together twice- -or at the otltsitlc ont-es a month. To that end we ask you to lay aside your mod- esty, put some of your self in these pages. and contri- bute to the building ot' :t magazine that inay, through your efforts, rank with the best Canadian publications. --The Record. H. H. Mackenzie. '82 to '8-1, has been appointed an Assistant General Manager of the Bank of Montreal. and R. P. Jellett. '92 to '97, has been appointed General Manager of The Royal Trust Company to till the vacancy created by Mr. Mackenzies resignation from that position. Mr. Mackenzie was formerly General Manager of the Bank of British North America until it amalgamated with the Bank of Montreal in 1918. while Mr. Jellett. who is one of our Governors, entered the service of The Royal Trust Company in 1902. Many happy returns to Mr. F. H. Gooch. who recently celebrated his 68th birthday. Mr. Gooch has been a resi- dent of Toronto all his life and a member of the Albany Club for more than 30 years. In 1867 he attended T. C. at Weston. and had it not been for the Rev. Mr. Johnson's son, who brought him up unconscious. he would have been drowned in a hole in the Humber his tirst year at T. C. S.
