II NAV be surprising, but is not the
less true, that boys whose future lie
must bring them more or less before
the public go on the stage more reluct-
sntlv than girls. But when they 90
on on it is with the feeling sink or
swim" and they keep their Eeads
bravely above water. They may nor
rival the Father of His Country in the
virtue in the Ratchet story, but when
il comes to speech their modesty re-
sembles that of the great man who
could face the fire of the enemy's bat
terry better than q fusilade of glances
from admiring eyes.
Though they may sometimes fioun-
der little in troubled waters, our faith
in their courage assures us that they
will come out all right. This the Ca
thedral parish school boys did last
night. We saw what they did and
heard what they said. Their efforts
were good, and they succeeded in max
ing pleasant evening for the audi
ence which had assembled in the hall
of the new school building to see and
hear them. In appearance they are
fine, manly boys, and no distinction will
be made by mentioning names. They
are on the programme. All cid well.
The little fellows who drilled were
striking attraction. They were full Of
confidence, moved with precision and
were sure of the applause merited by
the effective pictures they made in their
uniforms. Ease and grace marked the
manner Of the boys who recited. Music
on violin, guitar. mandolin and piano
added to the programme something
that gave an agreeable surprise. So
much could hardly have been expected
from club of beginners. They give
good promise for the future. The

ed.
