Subscribers are requested to inform the Insiness Manager of any change of Address. Cditorial " Scholars come and scholars go, The School goes on for ever." The above remark is a truism, but, nevertheless, apt even if it is a parody on " The Brook." All of last year's Upper Sixth, and many of the Upper Fifth have left us, but still, owing to the influx of some two hundred new boys, the average attendance of the School is higher than it has ever been. It has therefore, been found necessary to erect ne\w buildings, which are now in course of construction, while a new playshed has been completed. The teaching staff has also been enlarged by the addition of Messrs. Kaeppel, Clark and Fischer, and we take this opportunity of welcoming them to the School. The cricket season has now closed, and although we have not done quite as well as we might in the fixtures, we succeeded in defeating Toowoomba for the first time in five years. Since the commencement of the University year, we have lost our captain, A F. Paton, who, juding by his recent performances, should be even more successful with the University XI. than with the B.G.S. XI. He has been succeeded in his captaincy by K. B. Fraser, who, juidging by his popularity and knowledge of the game. should prove a worthy leader. 8 Brisbane Grammar School Magasine. Football will now take the place of cricket, and judging by the keenness of the younger members of the School, the season ought to be very successful for the various XV's. Since last year, the football captain, L. A. A. Forbes, has left the School, and his place has been taken by A. J. Hammond, who, we have no doubt, will prove an enthusiastic and persevering captain. On February 23rd, the " Trial Fours " was rowed, and medals have since been presented to the winning crew, by Mr. Bousfield. We offer them our sincerest congratulations. Drill has again started, and owing to Captain Bousfield's appointment as Battalion Commander, F. Company is now com- manded by Lieutenant Kaeppel. The work is now entered into with enthusiasm, as every day we see men who ere long will go to the front to defend the Mother Country. We are publishing in the present magazine a list of Old Boys who have offered their services in defence of liberty, and the Empire which is itself the personification of liberty ; and the least we can do is to wish them a speedy and safe return. The list now includes one hundred and seventy three names. We offer our congratulations to Aitken, Byth, Horn, Cooling and Mott, on winning their University Scholarships, and also to those who were successful in the Senior and Junior University Examinations. We are pleased to report that Mr. J. N. Radcliffe has gained the Rhodes' Scholarship for this year, and that Messrs. Molesworth. Gillies, Mursell, and R. M. Wilson have attained the high distinction of First Class Honours in their Final Degree Examinations at the Queensland University. Out of six first class honours awarded by the University this year, no less than four fell to Old Boys of this School. We offer them our hearty gratulations. With the large increase in numbers for 1915, we have reason to believe that this year will be even more successful than previous years. We beg the more youthful members of the School to remember the School motto, " Nil sine Labore," and to increase the reputation of the School in scholarship and sport, so that the proud father when asking, " What shall I do with my boy ? " will he answered by all, " Send him to the B.G.S. ! " In conclusion, we want to remind the scholar of the B.G.S. that he is not to sever his connection with the School after his three or five years' stay there. It is his duty to keep in touch with the School and old friends by becoming a member of the Old Boys Association. Owing to his increase of studies, last year's editor, E. B. Freeman, has been obliged to resign his position. We cannot estimate his success too highly, and his work for the Magazine has been appreciated by all.

The University Prize in Education of Adults awarded by the Council of the University of Auckland, 1985. Submitted in full requirement for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Division of Research & Commercialisation Queensland University of Technology 2014 Keywords Anglo-Boer War, Boer, Brisbane Courier, Dawson, Dickson, Kitchener, Kruger, Orange Free State, Philp, Queensland, Queenslander, Transvaal, War. ii Abstract This thesis examines the myth that Queensland was the first colonial government to offer troops to support England in the fight against the Boers in the Transvaal and Orange Free State in 1899. The offer was unconstitutional because on 10 July 1899, the Premier made it in response to a request from the Commandant and senior officers of the Queensland Defence Force that ‘in the event of war breaking out in South Africa the Colony of Queensland could send a contingent of troops and a machine gun’. War was not declared until 10 October 1899. Under Westminster government conventions, the Commandant’s request for military intervention in an overseas war should have been discussed by the elected legislators in the House. However, Parliament had gone into recess on 24 June following the Federation debate. During the critical 10-week period, the politicians were in their electorates preparing for the Federation Referendum on 2 September 1899, after which Parliament would resume.
