This is an extraordinary recommen- dgtion, and for the Royal Military College is a unique institution, and without a competitor or an equal in the whole of Canada. Its function originally was to educate the young men who had an ambition to enter into .the - military service a mental and physiesl and with equipment which was based training peculiar to this College. fit them for It any might be assign- was designed to duty to which they ed.

Upén the thin, shabby shoulders of this boy place the re sponsibility for his father's life--o1 at. least, for his father's means of livelibood, and the support of the tamily. In other words, his father's job is at stake: The scene was ai the recent session | of the Dominion Wreck Commission- ers to inquire into the grounding of the C. P.

These were all of the works of man within sight or sound. Picture the boy of a summer night, on a loxely island in the midst of the lake, he alone, of all human beings, in the world of darkness, alive and wakeful, watching that the tower light burnt clearly, and the stars shone down from the sky. If the sky grew clouded, then must he keep a watch upon the "Flower Pot Light,' and the gas buoy 12 miles out M the channel, for if these lights were shut out it meant fog. And then must the fog horn send its blasts out into the night to warn lake captains off Cove Island Rocks and Bad Neighbor Shoal.
