EDITORIAL.

Since the last publication of our School Magazine the war situation has undergone a profound change. The capitulation of France, our foremost a lly, came as a serious blow to our cause, but, with stout hearts and unswerving courage, the peoples of the British Commonwealth of Nations have united into one strong, determined, . indivisible whole. The determination of the people of Brita in has been shown by the quiet, steady manner in which they go about their duties from day to day regardless of the destruction surrounding them, while their dauntless courage has been made manifest by their resolute behaviour during the indiscriminate bombings by a ruthless and desperate enemy. We, in this country, are so far removed from the noise and ravages of war that sometimes it seems difficult to realise that, along with the other parts of the British Commonwealth of Nations, we are a nation engaged in a terrible struggle for the very existence of humanity and civilisation . As each of us finds a part, however small, which we can play in the successful p rosecution of this war, let us do it with steadfastness and to the very best of our ability. Also, let us always remember that, as our Princess Elizabeth has said, "When peace comes, it will be for us, the children of to-day to make the world of tomorrow a better a nd a happier place.
