Macdonell Tells | of Needs of the College at Banquet { | of Former Cadets Held in Toronto, | { "When I came back from France| the problem was what was I to da," | Major-General - Archibald Caméron | { Macdonell, K.C.B., C.M.G,.

Sir Archibald de- | | cided that the most important work | {that he could undertake was to assist | jin making Canadian gentlemen. | | As a graduate of the college, its | present commandant, and speaking | |to ex-graduates, Sir Archibald talked {about the college. {| "The object of the college is ol gentlemen," he | {sald. "From the training point of | | view, it is sought to make them re- | | gulate their lives by the college motto, "Truth, duty, valor,' to be up- right, generous, brave. The relative { Importance of these ends will be ati once, recognized, as meanness of dis- | position is worse than slowness of | | { i {intellect ; as selfishness is worse than | a defective memory; as cowardice is | | worse than ignorance. So especial | importance is attached to the de ment of morals in the college'. { In 1897 "the former four-year course at the college was decreased | ito three years as an experiment and | without, any especial reason. Sir! Archibald proposes to again increase | ithe course. | "Discipline, the distinguishing fea- {ture of a military education," he said, | "demands time, and that at a tender | age. | part- | I propose admitting the cadet | {at an age one year less than now pre- | {valling. His preliminary education | being in our, hands, will be made { more sure and uniform, and thus his | {development along designed lines made more assured. We will thus to seme: measure escape the hafidicap of the unéven preparation of the candi- | date just joined. During the first | year the recruft class would be in the preparation form in which a | thorough grounding would be given iin those - academic subjects which {could be undertaken with advantage, land also they could be given a sound {grounding in their military training, | discipline, physical training, drill, ar- | tillery instruction, military engineer- | { the general salutary influences of his environment: Under thé other three- | year system the recruit is forced at {once into a heavy course of study, | which does not allow him to become {accustomed to his surroundings.

"We do not aim at competing with universities or schools of applied science for the very good reason that {we are unable to specialize as they {do because of the general military {training which necessarily accom- | panies the cadet"s intellectual de- (velopment.

One-half of an educa- tioral building has been built, and theres the greatest necessity for the other half. So many new matters have entered into the science of edu- cation in the past few years that many things are needed to properly equip the college, new apparatus and buildings for teaching physics and chemistry, motors, dynamos, oil en- gines, a hundred and on® machines to demonstrate the advances of modern scientific knowledge. Some of the buildings have been built abutting the older buildings, and they cannot be continued until the older ones are torn down, which cannot be until other new buildings are erected to take their place.

Kingston, Jan. 17.--(To the Edi- tor): I was much interested in a communication which appeared in C signature of Mr. Galloway, and headed "Profiteering Discussed". The writer apparently has spent very little time in studying his subject. Some points which the writer sets forth are not essential to the discus- sion, 'but one point is worthy of some consideration, and that is the By bakers 1 both the retail and wholsesale trade. tion to make either a lot of money ney by virtue of his investment. Let us look at the other side of the question first, A baker stocks his bakery with 5,000 bags of flour at a fair market price, which permits him to sell his bread, rétail, at 12¢ the loaf. Before half his stock is exhaus- ted the market price drops, and the | larger cities, in consequence, lower the price of the loaf to 11 cents. This is possible in view of the fact that in the larger cities the baker's stock Is liable to depletion in a much short er time than in a small city the size of Kingston, and particularly for the reason that the stock can te replen- ished daily. The small baker in the small city has not the privilege of stocking, nor the opportunity, and consequently they must buy in quan- tities to safeguard the purchaser. They would, therefore, have to com- plete the issue of the stock on hand at a loss, or keep up the price of the loaf, which would be the most ridi- culous thing in the world, from the | point of Mr. Galloway. Indeed, from | the standpoint, of reason, the thing | would seem absurd, and yet it would | be the only logical way to permit | the baker to repay himself for his | investment, ! On the other hand, the cost of | flour advances, and ff the small bak- | er desires to remain in business he | sumer but to the baker himself, oth- | erwise the bigger men in thé busi- | ness would swamp the little men as | they did in Toronto recently, and | then would take steps to sell the bread at any price they might de- cide upon. It is therefore obvious that if the bakers bf Kingston make what to Mr. Galloway would seem an abnormal profit, it is a stern ne- | cessity and also a fair business pro- position, and Mr. Galloway's con- tention would appear childish, parti- | cularly when it may be remembered | that he probably uses only 125 loa-~ | ves in®365 days, and this in the ex- | treme represents only a profit to the baker of possibly $2 yearly. So much | for the voice of one in 20,000 | Were the Kingston bakers profit- | eering when they were selling bread at 10 cents when the price in Mont- real was 13 cents? | A* DELIGHTFUL PRODUCTION "Fiddlers Three" at the Grand on Saturday. | "Fiddlers Three' delighted a pack- | ed house at the Grand on Saturday | eyening. It was one of the prettiest | comedies, being lavishly mounted. | beautiful in costumes "and color | schemes.

Her singing partner is Thomas Con- key, as Nicolo, 2 baritone of much sonority and finish, Katherine Clare ood, as Mrs. Foppit, Tom Dingle, the American drummer, and Horace Sinclair as Reggie, Lord Duffer, proved fun makers who added great- ly to the excellence of the periorm- ancy.
