Some Stalwart Nelson College Boys.

Little need be said to New Zealanders of Nelson College. It is well known from one end of the colony to the other as one of the most successful educat ionable establishments in the Australasian colonies. Beautifully situated and exceedingly handsomely housed in one of the healthiest and most lovely of New Zealand towns, Nelson College is an almost ideal training ground for the rising generation, and it has, ami is, turning out some splendid men. \\ hat is known as the “ tone” of the school is exceedingly good, and there reigns that “esprit de corps” which fills every Nelson College boy with the wholesome belief that his school is the best in the universe. That is the true public school spirit, and its value is hard to overestimate. There are now some two hundred day boys and ninety boarders, the latter coming from all over the col ony. Our groups of the prefects give a good idea of the stamp of lad the college turns out. and readers of the “Graphic” will probably agree that they are young fellows of whom no college or colony need feel ashamed.
