"Vox Nostrae Scholae" William Shakespeare was born at jtratford on Avon in April, 1564. Tra-litioh has linked his birthday with he festival of St. George, the patron saint of England, and it seems fitting tha the birthdate of England's greatest poet should be set on St. George's Day, April 23rd. Authentic information regarding his family is scarce; but it is thought that his father was a well-to-do citizen who exercised considerable influence in the community. It is supposed that William was sent to the free grammar school in Stratford, and that there he gained his knowledge of Latin authors. In a paper dated 1582 there reference to Shakespeare's marriage to Anne Hathiway. t" siderably older than he, but seemed to have Utile influence over him. They had three cshildren, Susanna, Hamnet, and Judith. There is a story that Shakespeare was pleased to engage in poaching on the estates of the nobles of the district and that it was to avoid arrest for this offence that he went to London. Whatever may have been the reason, Shakespeare did make his way to the great city, about 1586. drops out of sight for the next five or six years, but it is safe to assume that he joined a company of actors. By 1592 he had made a name for himself as a successful playwright. In addition to his writing, it is supposed that he engaged in actng. During the next two years, he wrote "Venus and Adonis" and "Lucrece. There are records showing that a this time, he belonged to the sam company of actors as the famous Elizabethans, Kemp and Burbage. In 1596, Shakespeare suffered his first serious misfortune. His eleven-year-old son, Hamnet, died. By 1598 Shakespeare had showed that he was a shrewd businessman as well as an inspired poet. He amassed sufficient capital to invest in land near Stratford and he bought New Place, an estate in the same community. He had no compunctions about resorting to the law to recover large or small sums of money that were due him, and this familiarity w'itn court procedure may account for the frequent use of legal phraseology in his plays. It is an interesting commentary on the times that the actor was paid more generously than the playwright. Shakespeare's average price per play was £10. For this reason, he found acting more profitable and for a time turned to that occupation. Before 1600 he had become a shareholder in the company. He is thought to have given up acting about 1603. During this period, from 1601 to 1609, Shakespeare wrote his four great tragedies --■ "Hamlet," "Macbeth," "Othello," and "King Lear." His withdrawal from acting may have been caused by his inter his writing. with the affairs of that town, and there are numerous stories told of his actions during these years. In March. 1616, he made his will, and in April he died. He was buried in the Church at Stratford, and his death went unnoticed in London. Shakespeare's literary work is usually divided into four periods, the division beng made in accordance with the nature of the work. Until 1593 he expeiimented with the various types of play that were current. To this period belonging the rhetorical "Richard III' and the brutal "Titus Andron: icus." The most original works of this early period are the comedies. "Love" Labour's Lost," and "Two Gentlemen of Verona." "The Comedy of Errors," which was written during these years, is based on an old Latin play, The second period in his literary work occupies the remaining years of the century. By this time, Shakespeare's craftmanship had been perfected and he turned his art to the composition of the history plays and such light-hearted comedies as "Much Ado About Nothing" and "As You Like It." "The Merchant of Venice" belongs to this group. From 1601 to 1609 Shakespeare was absorbed in the four great tragedies, "Macbeth," "Hamlet," "Othello," and "King Lear." The Roman plays were written at this time, and several comedies, which in their sardonic tone are more akin to the tragedies than to the comedies that preceded or those that succeeded them. The last years of his literary life show a return to comedy. These later comedies are, however, richer and more romantic than those written fifteen years before. The final play written by Shakespeare was "The Tempest." Of this play, which culminated Shakesipeare's dramatic work. Dover Wilson has said that it showed "Beauty at its serenest,, most magical and most blessed, as Truth." "One may have an individual preference for some other poet, but the cumulative opinion of persons and of years grants the foremost place to this greatest of all poets. William Shakespeare.

Need for Preparedness Prosperity is upon us, it is even closer than just around the corner. Are you prepared? Already, it is very evident that the supply of skilled labour is fast diminishing; employers of labour are anxiously wonderng how vast orders that prosperity will bring are going to be filled. They are much concerned about the question: "How can the deleted ranks of labour be brought to full strength to meet the situation?" To young pople of to-day the slogan Is: "Be Prepared!"
