Red. te oman "1 a Matter Of Tmbibing. : [TERS TO THE EDITOR. Bt. Alban's School, Brockville, Jan. 15.4 To. ~the Editor) 1 Reports iu Kingston papers give a summary of a sermon lat.ly d liered by a "highly respected ican divine," on alleged diin'ing habits at the Royal Military Coliege at Kingston. I have no idea who- this "highly respected may be ; but I hope that be will pardon the friendly cri. ism of a brother priest, that some method less public than pulpit utterance, might have proved quite as effective much less objec- tionaile to all immediately concerned. 'Even anlinstitution resents being 'named' fom" the pulpit ! As wolmaster, 1 km very deeply interested in everything that concerns the Roval Military College. 1 have several old pupils in residence at the present time. | hope to introduce many more in the years to come, J have naturally taken some pains to make myseli acquainted with the rules and requlations of the college. 1 hold no brief on behalf of the Royal Mili- tary College. On the contrary, 1 be- lieve thére are things concerning dis- cipline, which call for strong reform. But in all honesty, I am bound to ac- knowledge, that those in authority must be terribly hampered by the gh- surd rule which compels the cadets to take a pledge of total abstinence! A free and voluntary vow may be of real worth, but what moral wortl can pos- +ibly be attached to any forced prom- is2 of abstincnce! We shall soon be having someone advocating the hold: iny of a pistol before every drunkard, and calling: ""Total abstinence or your life!" Let thé commandant and the officers be relieved from the complications of this forced and embarrassing situa- tion! And let the government enlarre its views on the question of the train- ing of the young men; and not con tent itself with the narrowed desire to whole manhood. --Yours, truly, C. J. BOULDEN, The Whig would not have referred to the sermon delivered in St. George's cathedral on Sunday regarding the habits of students were it not » the alove letter from the reverend and successful head of St. Alben's school, Brockville. Since that gentleman has the faculty of conducting a school against which no complaint can be made on the ground of student con- 'duct, he may be justified in criticising at a distance a public utterance on a question of morgl discipline, but it would be unfair' to the minister in question if those who know the cir cumstances do not join in his defence, He did not fly to the pulpit until he bad tried measures of private protest and entreaty. The necessity of saying plain things has been precipitated. A radical change must take place at the Royal Military College if the moral tone is to reach the point attained hy Col. Kitson a few years since, which fell away even in his time, but which has given place almost to the condi tion in which he found it on his ar rival. It is not advisable to go nto details but 'if those interested will make inquiries, they will find that it is time for the pulpit to take coqnir- ance of conditions. Would it not he well for that useless institution, the visiting board of the college, to hreak a lcng record of inaction and pay an earnest visit to the institution ? ONLY WIDOWS AT JFARTY. A. A.
