FOREWORD

This is the first Queen�s College Magazine to be issued in an independent Guyana. Our boys must therefore think as members of a free and independent community. No longer will they be able to criticise their colonial masters or lay the blame for every ill at their door. From now on their own Guyanese compatriots must shoulder the responsibility both for praise and blame

Any publication is only as good as the truth it contains. Truth is the foundation stone of life. Where there is truth there is justice, and Q.C. stands firmly on the twin pillars of truth and justice. Veritas vincit says the Latin and let that be the motto of this and all future issues of the magazine.

Accuracy (which is another word for truth) is the hall-mark of good reporting. If a report lacks accuracy, if a report is distorted whether from malice or from ignorance, then it is useless. Criticism must point our faults and suggest remedies for such faults. Merely to find fault is a characteristic of the ignorant; to find fault and to suggest means whereby such faults can be remedied is the characteristic of the wise. Education in its broadest sense should inculcate wisdom. At Q.C. we strive after a broad education and if we succeed we shall expect our boys to show wisdom.

Good luck to this issue of the Magazine.

D. HETRAM
Headmaster

EDITORIAL

Now that Independence has been won, the foremost thoughts in the all patriotic Guyanese will be �Whither do we go next? What is there left for us to achieve?� The prompt answer to these questions is that we should conscientiously tackle and try to find badly needed solutions to our country�s pressing problems � political, economic, and social.

The first and foremost problems we have to solve is that of how we can build our society in terms of human values in which human relations among several different ethnic groups are given a chance to function as they should. It is a well known saying �United we stand, divided we fall� . No matter what is taught in schools here in Guyana concerning the equality of man, unless those teachings are provided with a social milieu in which they can be practiced , they will wilt and die in the breasts of those who are forced to adapt themselves to the world as they find it.

This problem may well be solved through social engineering if the children of today who are to be the adult members of the next generation are taught as clearly and soundly as possible that every person is equal regardless of race, colour and creed. But there will be difficulties. It must be remembered that difficulties exist in order to be overcome. Nothing was ever achieved without trying; tact, conviction, and above all courage will be required. But we have the greatest of all advantages on our side, first that out cause is sound, and in addition the consciousness of modern man that all is not well either with himself, or with his world, and his desire for a better life. We may well make the last stanza of our national anthem our motto and our guiding light on fires of distress: -

Dear land of Guyana, to you will we give,
Our homage, our service, each day that we live.
God guard you, great Mother and make us to be
More worthy our heritage � land of the free.�

I would like to thank Messrs. Mattai and Ramdhani for the much-needed help and advice which they had given to the Magazine committee as a whole and Mr. D.C. Locke for his services in securing the design for the Magazine cover.
