circular Issued by Major Boyd of the

The P. Fl. S. Cadets held a battalion

Major Boyd distributed the following
self-explanatory circular:
Portland, Me-. June 8, 1898.
Inc annual encampment OF the Port
!and High School Cadets will occur from
July to 10, inclusive, at North Harps-
well.
The camp is situated ON high, dry land
on the side of hill admirably adapted
for such purpose. An abundance OF
good water is near at hand, and all
sanitary ARRANGEMENTS are most carefully
considered.
A most efficient force will be at head
quarters during the entire week. Mr.
Albert b. Hall, SO well and favorably
known as member of the school COM
mittee and supervisor of the High school
for that committee, and ex-Alderman
John L. Pagan will assist in looking
after the general interest Of the camp;
DR.. H. M. Nickerson will be in constant
attendance; Secretary Garland or the I.
III. G. A., will be in charge of branch
at the camp; and Sergeant Harry W. Way
will act as chief commlssary, as usual.
Among the many advantages derived
by the Cadets from these encampments
are self-reliance, prompt and unquestlon-
Ing obedience, neatness, punctnallty ana
respect. These qualities are far more deep
~ impressed upon the minds Of the Cadets
by week of continuous submission to
military discipline than by many months
Of occasional drills.
1t is earnestly hoped that every Cadet
will be able to attend, and your prompt
return Of the appended slip will bs much
appreciated.
Any further information will be most
cheerfully furnished upon application.
Very respectfully,
EDWARD A. SHAW,
Acting Drill Master.
The consent of two.thirds of the boys'
parents is necessary for thu annual en-
calnpment to be held at Harpswell; but as
Major Shaw will undoubtedly be able to
I'LL Captain Bakers position in very
satisfactory manner, it is regarded as al
most certain that the consent will be
easily obtained.
