Tuesd: their sanction to th ; having several times laid the over, the B. & W. Collegiate Institute Board at its monthly . sesâ€" gion held on . Tuesday evening gave ?k sanction to the formation of a adet Corps in connection with . the Cnllegiate and recommended the apâ€" pointment of Assistant Principal Capt W. H. Williams as Cadet Instru®tor. This action would probably have been taken at a previous meeting had there not been a misunderstanding hetween Capt. Williams and Physical Instructor L. C. McKelvie, as to the leadership â€" of the proposed corps. This matter has now been arranged between the two men concerned and it is upderstood that while the forâ€" mer is to be the recognized instrucâ€" tor of the corps. that Mr. McKelvie will assist in the physical exercises. A Geputation â€" conmsisting of Messrs ‘A. MeAvity, W. H. Williams and D. A. Bean representing the Citizens‘ Recruiting Committee were present, as _ well as Mr. McKelvie, and exâ€" pressed themselves as being well satâ€" isfied with the manner in which the proposal had been handled by the Board. â€" 4TR Request Was Not Granted. A communication was read from Mr. Geo. Schnarr, acting for the Carmel Church, asking for the use of the Assembly Hall and kitchen of the Collegiate for a banquet to be held on . the eve of Dec. 3ist and asking the rate for same. In his communiâ€" cation be intimated that wine would be used for the drinking of toasts The Board did not feel tghat it was within their power to grant the use of the Hall for the holding of â€" such an affair and th was not ;rantgd. On reading the report of Principal Forsyth it was noted that the next Board meeting will fall on Dec. 21st which . is the evening of the annual Commehcement _ exercises. It was therefore decided to hold the Board meeting on the 20th so that the memâ€" bers might be present at the Comâ€" mencement. A -?WL.. was passed that expendiâ€" ture for the printing of the programâ€" mes for thig.session be borne by the Board as in former years. Four hunâ€" dred of these programmes will . be procured. It was decided to purchase the proâ€" jecting lantern or Baloptican recomâ€" mended by the Principal in his reâ€" port, at a cost of $120.00 less the discount of 10 per cent. ‘The microsâ€" copic attachment may be secured at a later date. ‘The question of fees of the out _ of town ;upils was brought up and it was learned from the Secretary that Wellesley _ was the only municipality that had complied in this respect. He was â€" thereupon instructed to wrile‘ the councils of the various municipalâ€" ities concerned that unless the acâ€" counts â€" rendered for their respective proportions of the debenture payâ€" ments be paid, the Board will be obâ€" liged to collect the amounts from the pupils ~ attending from these muhiciâ€" palities, 1 1 t T ESV FV PDCEICE! Principal Forsyth was given . the sanction of the Board to collect the fee of $2.00 for making up a report such as those referred to in his reâ€" port, the amount collected to be conâ€" tributed to the Library Fund. Accounts â€" totalling $233.64 were for payment. The Board adâ€" at 9.20. following is the report subâ€" ted by Principal D. Forsyth: Principle‘s Report.

In this connection may 1 remind you that it has been customary an the part of the Board to assume the expense of printing 400 souvenir programmes. I have been asked by the Literars Society to preâ€" sent a request for a similar grant for 1915. Special:â€"In March 1914 my reyort‘ included the following:â€"Lantern for projection, opaque, vertical projection and microscope work. A very much needed piece of apparatusâ€"being not only a great timeâ€"saver, but it will enable the Master to do much better ‘work. It will also save the Board the price of a microscope for each member of the senior class. $334.35. GOL. H. MARTIN OF 7157 BATTALION _ l TRANSFERRED TO 118TH BATTALION 24 Lieut.â€"Col.

That a chance still exists for Serbia to hold her own depends largely on the ability of the Allies to rush a railroad line as far as Uskub and | make a junction possible with the Serbian main army at Kossova.
