'+ "See that lance-corporal! Well he is a Presbyterian minister," was a remark heard in front of the Whig bulletin by ope speaking of the class of officers and N.C.O's who on Tues- day morning were drilling on the market square. It takes all kinds of people for a world and a School of Infgntry class, and this last course under the present system, will re. main in memory as having been ex- céptional for the pwmber of excep tional people attending. There are five ministers doing the "right foot, left, foot" eventually to become sol- diers of the King as well as of the Lord. The men attending the school have come from all corners of the earth from China, and South Africa, Lieut. F. L. White js registered from Shan- ghia, China. Lieut. F. R. Duminy is now one o: the strongest advocates of the cause of the Allies and is going over t support those sympathies in a practi- cal way. He was not always pro Wiritish, however. In the South Afri- can war he fought for the Boers against the British. Lieut. R. D, Weller, 15th Bellevil- le Regiment, was through the South African war with the Imperial Light Horse under Gen. Buller. At the end of next week the last course of the Kingston Provisional School of Infantry will close. In its place will be established an In- fantry School of Instruction the prin ciple of which has been already an- nounced. Lhe to-be-formed Infantry School will be a radical change from the system now in use, It will mean that alk cadets of the school will have a special uniform, Several Yimes, different uniforms have been | mentioned as those which the cadets will wear but as yet no announce ment 'has been made. The old RIE first of the course and follow through to the last and only enough igstructors are needed to give lec- tures that can be heard, or can take the different squads on their field work. Now it will require imstruc- ters for each of the six weeks of the course, Probationers can enter at any week. > Comment on the new plan is not being made by officers who prefer to "wait and watch," but those who have tried to ferret out'a solution of the problem that is presented by the new order would change this to "watch and pray". As soon as Ot- tawa gives more information the lo- cal officers will work out the details. Capt. G. G. Stewart, AM.C., has been detailed for duty jn the office of the A.D.M.S., 3rd Pivision. , Lieut.-Col, W, G. Brown, General Staff Officer, is in Ottawa. There is a long list of men of the 14th Regiment Guard who wish to transfer to the 146th and other units for overseas service, Since the war broke out the 14th Regiment Guard - has been almost completely changed. Hundreds of men have Seas units. Though often spoken of as the ""Home-Guard," to be a practical traiging school lor N.C.O's. These men on the Guard for some weeks learn in a very practical way what being a soldier means The discipline i 80 strict and the work so exactly like that which is required of the men at on the strength of the units, In almost all cases they ¢ granted -N.C.@'s positions and in every case made good. The attention of the Whig has been called to the fact that there would of the overseas, units if they did not fashiomey peace-time scarlet jacket has. been mentioned and in trutl there is a possibility of it being acce- | pted The authorities have decided | that the uniform will be differer | from that worn by either an officer. | N.C.O0,, or man but with;the adoption | of a scarlet jacket at this time the | cadets would 'be clothed in a uniform that would differ from any now existence, in | The fact that the pay will be only | $1.10 a day will have a detrimental | effect on those men who have not a fair-sized personal bank account. As a rule the men tWal the Government wants for its official ranks are those who have made gbod in civil life. Money is one of the most practical tests of this, and if a man has built up for himself a good-sized bank account by his own ability in busi- ness, it is safe to say that _he has enough brains to wear the Sam Brown. The new system will require many | more instructors. At the present | time the instructors start at the! Iran.

In a statement which Dean Bouton has just made public, an analysis of student par- ticipation in athletics for the past year and a half at New York Uni. versity is cited to show.that there is more interest in 'athletic sports among students in high scholastic standing than among undergradu- ates who have met with failure in the classroom. The result of h | investigation has proved to the sat- isfaction of Dean Bouton that there are five tinies as many participations in athletics among the studénts who rank over 80 per cent. in their stu- dies as among the sixty-one students who "flunked out." } -- # The new scale of weights adopted by the New York State Athletic Com- mission regulates the weight in eight classes.
