The number on the roll was: Boys 303, girls 298 ; total, 601. The question of establishing a cadet, corps in connection with the school was discussed, and it was stated that a number of the older boys desired to enrol themselves as cadets, while the idea, was encouraged by their parents. The Committee thought that it would be a good thing to foster the patriotic spirit of the boys in this direction, and the secretary was instructed to write to Colonel Webb asking to what extent cadet corps were under the control of the. Defence Department, and other particulars.
