Trinity College School Record VOL. 39 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL. PORT HOPE. NOV., l935. No.1 Editorial After seventeen years of comparative peace, war has again reared its ugly head and is threatening to smash our frail civilization. A proud minor nation is being crushed, and this may lead to an even more serious conflict among the greater powers. However, it is not the object of this editorial to dwell upon the intricacies of international politics. Unfortun- ately far too many editorials do that. In making the last remark, we mean no offence to those whose untiring efforts produce them, but we do believe that people should be brought face to face with simple facts before being plunged into the confusing discussion of such things as war debts and sanctions. Therefore, let us get on and face a few of these simple facts. We are members of what we may call an enlightened educational institution, we are young, our minds are un- burdened with national prejudice, and we are soon to go out into the world , as our elders so enjoy phrasing it. In this enlightened hall of learning, there is a library, filled with works from every nation. At this last statement, we see sneering indifference on the faces of some of our readers. But be patient. Have you sneering ones ever read an author other than one of our own race? You haven't? Then by not doing so, you are paving your way to becoming narrow-minded and filled with those prejudices which are so dangerous to the world's peace.

2 TRINITY COLLEGE SCHOOL RECORD If we don't read and listen to other people's points of view .... and we find that on the more important subjects, such as science, art, and social welfare, the lines of division are not national .... how can we expect to understand other nations? The world's trouble to-day is ignorance, ignorance of the other person's point of view. However, this is not a sermon, and we know that you wish to delve into what we have provided for you in the following pages, so our ramblings must cease.
