Tlmrsday, August A 1923 Dlggest In Lune puuuty. Principal Girdwood informs the Advance that more studentswrote on the entrance examinations at Barrie this year than ever before. The total number was 150, and very few of these failed. It is ekpected that from -100 to 425 students will be enrolled at B.C.I. in September. At the Barrie Collegiate there are four first, two second, two third and two fourth forms. The Orillia addition will provide for at least one more lower school class, one middle school class and two science lalboratori-es. This will make neces- sary the engagement of two more teachers. 11`1~r\|\\ 41-tin H uynnlrl o-nnnnr that teachers.

A splendid program of sports was pro- vided for the younger men1'bers, but many of the older ones seemed to enjoy the sports as much as nhe young. Baseball, foot races, etc., were pulled off under the able management of J. Beleskey, J. How- croft, R. G. I-Iowughton and C. L. Burton. Supper was served in the pavilion, where over 100 sat down.

Few of the residents of Barrie who heard the Riverdlale Salvation Army Band while it was in Barrie, gave more than passing thought to the personnel of the organization, the dilculties which confront the bandsmen or the cost and 1'3Jb0l` necessary to maintain a band of such high standard. Of course, the townspeople were appreciative of the good music which they heard, but the material things concerning the band did not get much attention. Ask a Barrie citizen what he knows about the Riverdala Band. The answer imwarialbly will be, They can play wonderful*1y-that's all I know. n...:....1..+n.nu nu; {mm-u-cant thino KIIOW." Undoubtedly the important thing about a band is that it be able to ` play, but if people know that, should they not know more '2 There are facts about the Rive`rda.le' Band which are interesting. Several '0! the bandsmen are ex-service men, who did their bit overseas. The band, when at full strength, num- bers fty, but only forty-two mem- bers came to Barrie. The organiza- tion boasts a ne collection of in- struments, the value of which is over $4,000. There is` the sa.\:a- phone section which alone cost $1,200. There are six solo comets and one rst cornet, four tenor horns, three euiphoniums, one ugel horn, one soprano cornet, six trom- bones, one set of syimbals, two mon- ster bass horns, three at instru- ments, and others. The music is composed by Salvation Army bands- mnn The rnnnnv in nrnvirle music composeu Dy Dulvuuuu .*u`u1_v uz1uu:- men. The money to provide music and to buy and keep in repair the instruments is raised by putting on special festivals. There is a pop- ular fallacy that baindsmen are paid for playing. This is absolutely un- true `the bandmaster declares, and moreover, he states that each mem- ber buys his own uniform, at an approximate cost of $57.
