Schools and Colleges

There are several in the air at present, but report says they are to be more substantially built, very soon, on the ground. A military school is to be started soon. Some of its instructors have ready arrived. Then our police: force is to have a college; for what purpose I know not. I expect barracks would be'a better word. Our noble police are a body of hard sitters, they display a strong di inclination for standing and walking; our steps form the resting-place of many a weary "copper." They commenced with sticks about three feet long; these have now been reduced to about half that length, and I suppose will later on be followed by the time-honoured pocket instrument, known to dwellers in the British dominions.
