Cdi/orial. S INCE our la.st isuc, a chlunge ha, been effected in the editoral staff. S. Wilson, the late editor. having left school. Our readers wi'l notice that the articles in this issue are. for the most part, ,ry concise. This is owing to the large amount of news we have re'eived. and the limited space at our d isposal. In January last we, with the world in general, passed through a season of sorrow occasioned by the loss of our beloved Sovereign. Queen Victoria. At the services held in Her memory in the various c'hurches on February 2rid, our school was represented bh a squad of ('adets under Captain C(ross. We have welcomed Mr. Roe back from liis lengthy but well-earned holiday, and the articles re'ating to this (\wnt should he found very interesting. Since his return. \I:. Ko, has. on various occ'asions, spoken of his experiences in England. (Of most importance to us as a school, however, was his statem,.nt wihen int, ri\' wi d bi a represent- ative of the " C'ourier.' On that oc;ision he stated that. on the whole, the Australian Schools were quite upl to ti'e standard of th FEnglish Schools. This statement was further si rtengthened i) the success of Claude Roe at the Oxford University. wh :: lhe won the Balliol Col- 4 Brisbane Grammar School Magazine. lege Scholarship for Matllhematic, one of the muost uoveted prises at the University. With regard to our Scholluol Work, Mr. Roe thinks that steady progress is being made ii all the dept.larluents. .A very) interstmg letttr will be tound in this issue from iRol 3uldrcwod, the great Australian wrttr, author of 'Robbery Under Arms,' " Squatters Dream, etcr., and our readei s are advised to take paricular notice of it. The sporting items are numerous, ow,\ing to the amount of cricket news. The cricket teams have, on the whole, had a very successful season, but the football teams ar determined to do better. We again remind the past and present boys that we will gladly welcomne contributions fromn them, it the wil onl) send theII along. N the absencte ot Mr. Ro.. \ ho was .n his well-earned holiday, Mr. Bouslield, the Acting Head, Master. presented hs report for the y)ear 1poo. Intit he statl thth thel average daili) attendance for the )year was 215 "r 94 pr' cent. ol the niimber oin the roll. This aVerage was about th samet a s ,hato 1899.

The most noticeable feature in the great schools was the great respect that the students showed towards their masters, and the many little courtesies they paid them. At the same time Mr. Roe pointed out that he dlid not wish to impl that the Queensland boys were behindhand in this respect. ()n the contrary, there was no more goodness of heart and earnest neso ot spirit than was to be Ifoundl in the boys of Queenslandl.
