" Fighting Soldiers." Amongst the visitors at the Christ's College sports yesterday was Sir Keith Smith, who was introduced to those present, prior to the prize-giving, by Dean Carrington, a member of the Board of Governors of the College. In the course of a brief speech, Sir Keith Smith, Who was given a rousing reception said that no doubt flying would play' a great part in the future, both in commerce and in war. Aviation had proved a big factor in the Groat War and would do so in tho next, tho speaker expressing the opinion that there would bo another great war. In view of this ho urged that all boys should take a keen interest in flying.

Hie great size and evenness of the Sockburn aerodrome were commented on verv favourably yesterday by ..Sir Keith 6mKh after a flight in which ho had the opportunity of studying the country round about the aerodrome. He said that there was a good surface* and plenty of ground, and the thing that would appeal to any flying man was the landing grounds all round the aerodrome. This meant that with engine trouble a pilot had a proper chance of putting his machine down without any risk. This was of great importance in training pupils,, who in marty cases were likely to clioke their engines in taking off, and required an emergency landing ground. There were no trees near the aerodrome, and tho wellgrassed surface suggested that it would fie a good wet-weather aerodrome. All the country that ho had flown over on the Lake Coleridge trip was quite all right for flying. The art of " getting across the footlights " was the subject of a. very interesting address by Professor Shelley, delivered last night before a largely-attended meeting of the St Andrew's Young People's Society. Although the address was highly instructive it was intensely interesting at all points, and brief readings were given from Shakespeare and Masefield. Professor Shelley gave a warning against the monotony of pitch, the fallacy of trying to get all the effects by accent, and the monotony of pace or speed. His advice was to lot the voice flow, while enunciating distinctly, articulating clearly, and getting tho full value out of the compass of tho voice. Control over words, control over speed and control over pauses were said to be essential. A very hearty vote of thanks, carried by acclamation, was convoyed to the lecturer by I>r Borrie, who presided.

The work of collecting and framing photographs of Christ's College Old Boys who fell in the war has been proceeded with, and up to date one hundred photographs have been framed and hung in tho Big School. "Every young New Zealand master should be given an opportunity to travel, and I hope the Canterbury College Board of Governors will do all it can in this direction," said Mr A. 13. Flower, last evening, at the annual meeting of Christ's College Old Boys' Association. A German toiiiedo consigned by the British Admiralty to tho Navy League, lies in the Christchurch railway yard. It is a solid mass of iron, weighing 15cwt, and workmen have found it peculiarly difficult to handle. Its final location lias not been decided on. jno Canterbury branch of the league agreed last evening that the torpedo should he exhibited in Hereford Street on Navy Day. Tho secretary reported that there was a proposal that it should be given to tho Museum.

A scheme to encourago sea training in New Zealand has been drawn up by the Canterbury branch of tho Navy League- There is a sum of about £7OO ' available, and it is proposed to erect a building with accommodation for forty youths on the naval reservo opposite Sumner. It is intended that instruction shall bo given as a preliminary to a course in the New Zealand Navy, and that tho Government shall he asked for a subsidy. The matter is at present being discussed with the Government's naval advisor.

Tho committee of the Canterbury branch of the Navy League met last evening, Mr H. Holland presiding. The committee passed votes of sympathy with the relatives of Messrs A. Kayo, Christcliurch, and O. J. Harper, Ashburton, both" of whom bad been leading members of the league. Mrs Blunt reported that while on a, visit to England officials of the Navy League had expressed their gratitude at the work dono in Christchurch. It was announced that the balance in the bank amounted to £664.

The Defence Department has notified all secondary school cadet corps that on tho grounds of economy puggarees of distinctive school colours must not be worn, but that all corps must wear green puggarees, once tho present stocks are exhausted. The use of the 303 rifle at ranges has also been forbidden to cadets under seventeen years of age. At last evening's 7iieeting of the Christ's College Old Boys' Association it was agreed to 7>rotost to the Defence Department against the new orders, and the newly elected committee was urged to induce all secondary schools to make similar protests. Mr J. O. N. Grigg, winner last year of the Christ's College Old Boys' race, has suggested that as there is no room for any further names on tho present cup presented by Mr C. C. Corfc, in 1872, a new cup, exactly similar, should be procured by the association, and the present cup placed in the Hare Memorial. The Ladies' Challenge Cup, presented in 1868, also has no room for further names, and the suggestion has been made that wives and daughters of Old Boys should bo invited to replace it, the estimated cost being £25. Both suggestions were approved at last evening's annual meeting of the Old Boys' Association.

Discussing protection for suburban areas, the Dominion Fire Board Conference held in Wellington on Wednesday agreed on toutatire proposals for submission to controlling bodies in the principal centres. Mr Holland, who represented th e Christchurch Board, stated yesterday that the conference had sot up a. central committee .and carried a recommendation that the Firo Boards in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin should confer with other local bodies of the metropolitan area on tho subject of extended fire protection. The Christchurch Board will discuss tho matter at a special meeting on October 25. In proposing the toast of " The School and Masters" at the annual meeting of Christ's College Old Boys' Association last night, Colonel E. B. Millton (chairman) said that the suggestion to remove tho old school to tho country wpuld not bo welcomed by many old boys. The present site was unapproachable throughout Canterbury. Some day Christchurch would be the very centre of cultural education of New Zealand. The lower classes of the college might be taken to the country, but the senior classes should bo maintained in the old school. Mr A. E. Flower, in responding, said that the note he wished to emphasise was one of faith and confidence in the school. When he first joined pessimism appeared to prevail, but from 190-1 enthusiasm increased. The Tasman flight between Australia and New Zealand, which has been actively discussed as a sporting project, was mentioned by Sir Keith Smith yesterday in the course of a conversation regarding the probable conditions of the flight. He said that ho was by no means opposed ta tho use of flying boats for the attempt, but lie thought that it should bo a condition of any flight that it should he a. non-stop flight from tho Australian to the New Zealand coast without any vessel half way across for the purpojo of refilling with petrol. A land machine would be faster, but he wo'uld not suggest it for a service over such an expanse of water. Sydney, ho thought, would be the better end to start from, on account of tho more settled weather, and from a chart ho had looked at the other day it seemed that tho prevailing winds, blow from Australia to Now Zealand.
