MASTERTON SCHOOL CADETS.
The Masterton District High School Cadets left, yesterday afternoon, to go into camp at Christchurch. No. 1 company, under Captain Haslam, numbered 38 of all ranks; No 2, under Captain Bunting, 36; and No. 3, under Captain Sutton, 36, the total of rank and file being 114. This will probably constitute a record number of Cadets from one school. Nearly half the battalion will be Masterton School Cadets. In order to ensure that the boys will be well looked after, both while travelling and also in camp,' Mr W. H. Jackson, the'headmaster, has set free from school duties the whole of the male assistants in the school, and all four of them left with the boys yesterday afternoon. Captain Charters will act as adjutant to the battalion, and will assist in looking after the welfare of the boys. Mr Jackson has arranged for telegrams concerning the Cadets to be posted in Mr J. L. Murray's window. A large number of parents and friends assembled at the railway station to see the boys off. Happy faces beamed from every window, and the tearless good-byes were indicative of the joyful anticipations of the young "soldiers of the King."
