(Ebitorial. beginning of another School year brings us to those trite reflections concerning the number of departures, and the consequent degeneration which one would look for to follow, but •which, as a matter of fact, never does, and quite right; a school is too permanent and too slowly built an organism to be deeply moved by the loss or gain of a few. Besides it would be wrong if it were otherwise, seeing that then contradiction would be offered to the new principle, which tells us " everyone is wanted and "no one is wanted much." However, not to dismiss too ungraciously those who proved themselves useful while they were among us, we give them our heartiest thanks

for their faithful service, and hope the School may never lack others to tread in their footsteps. Everybody will agree that a better impression no one could have given than did Dr. Forrest on Speech Day. We feel particularly proud that his voice was heard in our school before it has been on any other public platform in the city. Another new face was welcomed on Speech. Day, that of Canon Teignmouth Shore, who, departing from the usual custom, addressed his speech chiefly to the " average boy," who gets no prizes. The best thanks of the School are due to Mr. Eammell for the energetic way in which he has taken up football. We hardly recollect a practice at which he did not turn up, and that, too, from most disinterested motives. The XV. had the matches to look forward to, but, unluckily, we could not play him. We are afraid that our play at the best cannot have been good enough to give him much enjoyment, and some of our practices at their worst can hardly have failed, we fear, to disgust him. Many of the laggards, a tribe, notwithstanding much preaching, far from extinct, ought to have been really shamed out of their ways by his example and constant attendance at our games, in spite of calls to other places, where he would have had greater pleasure.
