"After my recent trip to England I eame back absolutely convinced that the finest things of education are the creative traditions of the English public school we seek to reproduce at King's," said the Rev. H. K. Archdall, headmaster of King's College. Auckland, at the reunion dinner of King's College Old Boys at Hamilton. "Some persons say there is no place in New Zealand for such things so wonderfully English," said Mr Archdall. "The more we can transplant those Old World traditions here the more we can keep 1 his country thoroughly British and not American. It is wrong for modern education to contain individualism on the one hand and mere intellectualism on the other. We cannot split a man's life into sections and train for mere intellectualism. I hope wc will turn out gentlemen and not snobs, men filled with a sense of duty to Church and State. Ours is an inclusive ideal. It is the heart of the thing. Our ideal is so big, so strong, and so sensible that it will outlive all other claims. It is for us to see we are not completely worthy of oiy forefathers."'
