one realises how much one owes to the teacher who sats one's feet in the right direction. Some of us have a tasto for work and some of us haven't, and the teacher has to lend both the willing and un- willing horses to the water of learning in the hope of making them drink
Love of Work.
It is fortunate to be born with a love of work, just as it is for tunate to be born with curly hair or a good temper. Quite a num- ber of people have to be taught to like work, very large number never learn. They belong to a society of which I read the other
day.
A tramp was brought up before magistrate for trespassing and
vagrancy.
"Why don't you do an honest job of work" said the magistratu.. "" can't, sir," he said, "I' belong to a Society."
"A Society," said the magistrate, "What Society?"
"The Amalgamated Sous Rest," said the tramp.
of
I beg you to slun" that Society as you would the plague. There is no more deplorable object than the man or woman who hasn't got enough to do.
There is so much work to be done in the world, whether paid or unpaid, that it is pathetic to think of anyone sitting twiddling his thumbs. We cannot all climb to the topmost branches of the trce of success but we'vo all got the opportunity of doing our job of work well and in that way justi- fying our existence on this earth.
I was reading a speech of Lord Reading's the other day. You may remember that he ran away to sea and went before the mast and of became Viceroy eventually India. In between those two in cidents he was the most successful Chief barrister in England and
at the Justice. When he was
ne height of his legul succoss, worked so hard that he would only allow himself four hours sloop.
"I have worked-bard all-my-life,"
he said "and I rejoice in it?
No Half Measures.
That's the point. You must re- joice in work and rejoice in play. There are no half measures in suc- Cess. Above all it is no use to think that you finish learning when .. leave school. You are only beginning to learn and I do. beg of you all to continue your studies new ones and even to take up in addition to any career you may bread. adopt to earn your daily Life must become richer and fuller as we grow.older. We must not become mere money earning ma- chines but we must enter into the world of art, literature and music school- more fully than in our days.
Moreover we must uphold the tradition of our cld school, and endeavour by social service to be- cone useful citizens of our own town and of the world as a whole. In this school. I know that the Guide spirit is firmly planted und that, together with the Scout spirit, formy one of the greatest assets for moral inlluence, indivi- dual eficiency and the potte of the world. As Commissioner for this Colony I congratulate the 11t win- Kowloon Guide Company on ning the Prince of Wales' Banier in the last competition and I hope the Company will develop and pros- per under the able leadership of Miss Buckwell. She has kindly taken it over after its valuable course of training by Miss Wank-.. lyn, who together with Mies Trot- ter, has just left the Island after four months devoted to the Guides of Hongkong and Kowloon.
16th Century Schools. When one thinks of all the in- terest both in work and, in play that makes up school life nowadays, one realises how fortunate it is to live in the 20th century. Some- times we look hack to what people call the good old days and we nd that a great portion of them was very bad indeed. The days of Elizabeth look very dushing and thrilling and picturesque, but we should have hated going to school then. I was reading a wonderful essay on children and education by the charming writer, Montaigne, who lived in France in the six- teanth
describes century. He school as "a prison of captivated childhood", where you hear no- thing but whipping and brawling both of children tormented and masters besotted with anger and chafing." What a contrast now- to adays. Montaigne goes, on say: If it lay in me I would do as the Philosopher Speusippus did, who caused the pictures of Glad ness, of Joy, of Flora and of the Grucas to be set up about his school house."

It is a pity Montaigne cannot have a glimpse of the Contral British School, He would be pleased as I was by the delightful drawings, bung round the walla. I was particularly interested in thom, for I was taught drawing and painting on the same wystem by the artist who first broke away
