Stephens and Fowles were appointed to the Upper House. The Cadet Corps still flourishes, although a larg number of the older members have been transferred into the Citizen Forces. Amongst these is I.. G. Wilson. Senior Lieutenant of the School. We here take the opportunity of congratulating Mr. Bousheld on his appointment as captain. The football season is now in lull swing.

His Excellency, whose own scientific attainments are recognised throughout the British Empire, in the course of an able speech said that the opening of the wing marked a new epoch in the history of education in Queensland, and strongly advised the general necessity throughout Queensland for increased scientific and technical instruction. Mr. Woolcock, on behalf of the trustees, parents and pupils, thanked His Excellency for his speech, and his kindness in taking part in the ceremony. His Excellency was pleased to direct that a whole holiday should be granted at a later date to the School. The School Entertainment has been fixed for the middle of September, and as rehearsals have been taking place regularly for some time, we hope the performance will be a successful one.
