Then tlio authorities during the prohibited, hours proceeded to arrest every officer who was found riding. They arrested 183—all German spies! In thanking the Wellington' Branch Secretary of the Navy League, in acknowledgment of some naval literature, the headmaster of a leading High School in the South Island writes: r 'l am glad to say that we have, as usual,' tbe, ivholo school solid for the Navy League. We tako precious good care to fix indelibly in the minds of our voung charges the all-important, though silent, part our Navy is playing in this supreme crisis. 1 Thjs'war, juSging from a pedagogue point of view, opens endless vistas of fascinating interest for our school-rooms. It vilifies all our history and geography, and gives us endless opportunities 'of training the young to a sense of the privileges and responsibilities of. Imperial citizenship."
