Captain Atkin, the British Commissioner to the Exhibition, paid a visit last Monday to the Christchurch Boys’ High School, where he made some interesting remarks to the lads with special reference to the cadet movement. “ There is nothing like these good physical drills and military exercises for you youngsters,” said Captain Atkin. ‘‘They improve your physique, promote a spirit of comradeship, and discourage loafing. It is, in my opinion, absolutely necessary for the welfare of the Empire not only that our lads should cultivate their minds, but that they should also train their bodies. No matter how high you may be in your school work, it would not be worth much to you or to us, if you entirely neglect the training and development of your bodily powers. You have in the cadet movement all the machinery for organising all sorts of sound exercises and games; you have the advantage of musketry, military training, and discipline ; you have the means of regulating those adventurous elements which are in all boys of British origin, of hardening your bodies and putting grit into yourselves, and at the same time you have the grand satisfaction o'f knowing that you are adding most valuable strength to the available resources of an Empire to which we are all so proud to belong.” Some symtoms of acute rheumatism are, a feeling of coldness; want of appetite ; thirst; and sharp pains in the joints.
