Gillespie, in- spector of District No. 1, made his annual visit on Friday morning, The weather was favorable for the work and the edge of the campus was lined all morning with an inter- ested crowd of spectators who fre- quently applauded the work of the boys. 'Phis was particularly notice- able of the signal corps, a new fea- ture introduced by Mr. Spencer, and also during the physical exercises antler the cadet instructor, Mr. Bissotette. At 9,40 the cadet company fell in on the campus- and saluted the in- specting officer, who then proceeded to inspect the rifles and equipment before drill. Company leaders Crich and Kerslake bandied the corps like veteran officers' and the efficient work was the subject of'favorable comment among the spectators. Theinspector next had the platoon leaders -exer- cise their men in rifle and parade drill. The platoonsonus were again n formed up and on the order from the inspector, tunics were discarded and a series of physical exercises. carried out. These exercises were a surprise to those not fami se^ with cadet work and who imagined it consisted entirely of military train- ing. It was apparent that such exer- cises developed the body and made for that "mens sana in corpore sano," so important to the life of the student as well as to thelifeof .the country. The inspector highly complimented theoeh work done and said p he had seen none better in two weeks' inspection. He said the of- ficers were welt chosen. He stressed the value of shooting, physical training and discipline. He was pleaded to see the Board out and so many visitors. Mr . Aberhart, , chairman of the Board; Mr, W. G. Spencer, principal, and Mr, R. N. Bissonnette, in- structor, also spoke briefly. The corps were then marched uptown to the Olympia, where the Board treat- ed them to ice cream. The inspector interviewed the board after inspection and urged that new uniforms be secured that all the cadets in the corps would have the same style. The subordinate of- ficers of the corps are Sergt.-Major, J. Archibald; platoon leaders, Angus McCrae, Wm.Hart, Stanley Nichols, Wm.
