MASTERTON SCHOOL CADETS.

♦ VISIT TO THE EXHIBITION. \ Arrangements have been made whereby the Masterton School Cadets will leave Masterton, to take part in the Exhibition encampment at Christchurch, on February 22nd. far as the Cadets are concerned, the headmaster (Mr W. H. Jackson) has issued a circular to the parents of the Cadets asking them to notify him, of their willingness to allow their boys to go to Christchurch. Up to the present between forty and fifty parents have notified Mr Jackson of their willingness to allow their boys to go. The expense to parents for the trip, apart from any pocket money they may supply their boys with, is merely 10s for board and accommodation at the encampment. Of course the rail and steamer tickets will be free. The Cadets will go to Christchurch in charge of their officers, Captains Haslem, Bunting, and Sut ton, and they will be absent for a week. Mr Jackson had also in mind the possibility of allowing the girls at the School to make an excursion to Christchurch, under the supervision of the lady teachers and adult ladies approved of by the School Committee. He instructed the girls at the School to question their parents on the subject, but not sufficient response has been made part of the parents to make the project desirable.
