TRAINING WINNERS IN THE STAKES
OF LIFE
St. Stephen's College, Stanley, celebrated its thirtieth annual prize giving on Saturday. A large nimmber of visitors, encourage perhaps by the sunshine and comparitive warn of the weather - made the Journey out to Stanley. It was a par darly happy and pleasant prize-giving and those who were making their first visit to the school were astonished at the beauty of the surroundings, of. the grace and simplicity of the school buildings, and at the whole. atmosphere of Spartan, but kindly life, that pervades the school.
PAST HISTORY-AND THE FUTURE
The Roa. Dr. S. W. Tso gave ʼn most interesting review of the early struggles and present triumph of St. Stephen's, and laid emphasis on the attention paid to character building, both in school work and on the playing fields. A special invitation to parents of delicate children to see what the school could do for their boys was" extended.
The Bishop of Victoria (the Right Revd. R. O. Hall) who dis tributed the prizes, gave everyone food for thought in his brief address. Hunian advance, he said, always came from a mixing of cultur The present day problem was the mixing of the various world cultures, European, Americali, Indian Chinese and Husian. At St. Stephen's they were doing a notable and signi feast work in mixing the culture of Europe and Chins, to form a new culture and civilisation.
The Warden, the Rev. E. W. C. Martin, gave a model report- model in its record of a successful year and in its succinctness of form.

In this great task St. Stephen's had the opportunity to play no. small. part. The college was now thirty year old: when it was a hundred years old the faith and visten of its founder would be more than justified, and the world would be astonished as the great influence and power for good that had grown from small beginnings. The boys of St. Stephen's could take a big share in the building of a new culture, a new civilisation, combining the best of old and new: With such opportunities to share in the moulding of their country's destery before them, he would urge them to use to the full all that their training at this college could offer. (Applause.)
