At •night's he may study or go out.
There is considerable freedom in
granting late leave passes. He is
'sett . to determine h'is own dses.iren in

examinations, stays out late, and. con-
A .ductshimself properly, he is not criti-

if 'he stays out late often and .tails
in exams, it Is assumed he is , show-
ing little interest in .his future. He
may, bewarned once Or ,twice, But,
to a great extent, he is largely mas-
ter of his own destiny. As one offi-
cer put it: "He is judged on his life
here; .his future will be the norm of
bis action's here whether they be off
or on parade, off ,or on duty."
There is plenty o.f wholesome en-
'tertainment and recreation for the
studient 'during his off -hours. There
is a swimming pool under the man-
agement of a former Canadian swim-.
ming champion. There are Y.M.C.A.
tennis tables and a library. Citizens
flood the 'school with. i,itvitations to
tea or dinner;'•th'eatres supply free
