I have to thank Mr. Henry Lester for again footing the Cricket Juncheon bill and Mr, Macray for the bat and ball he presented to the School's best cricketer.
'The boys' physical development has received a good deal of attention. Mr. I. Macdonald, who, we always proud to remind you, an old boy of the schoo', has again supervised the drill and scouting. In field sports football is now engaging the thoughts of the boys. We have two teams, who have learnt to play the game, in the best. sense of the phrase. Thanks to the generosity of friends, we were able to get a large cricket net and a matting pitch for the pla; ground during the summer term.
The regular practice and the uncomplimentary remarks of—the headmaster had something to do with two great cricket—victories. The Choir men were venturesome enough to challenge us. They had to retire beaten, despite the "swift uns" of Mr. Willis, the googlies of Mr. Symons, and the twirley ones of the Dean. The annual match with gim-ithe Public School proved to be the best of the series. With ninety-two runs to get, our boys buckled on their pads, set their teeth, grasped their bats and with seven runs to spare—won.
Following literally the Biblical text that the first shall be last' I have now kept the moral training for the conclusion of my report.
ithout in any way qualifying for Fool's Paradise" I think I may say that the tone of the school is excellent. A boy is not afraid to tell a lie, he is ashamed to tell one. A boy's word is never doubted by y one on the staff. Trust a boy and being @ natural sportsman, he'll trust you and will scorn to deceive you. I allow a boy to mark his own work; if he wishes to ask his neigh-hour how to do a certain sum, there is nothing to stop him, the result is that cribbing is unknown.
