organisation,
We dealt in Conncil more oppia teforence to making the special article on the day of this mesting. (March 22) with the growth of the Royal Colonial Institute and the grounds on which a considerable body of Fellows based their dissatisfaction with its position and prospects under the existing constitution. In particular it was objected that the Connoil, instead of being subject to the periodical introduction of new members with now ideas, was virtually a self-perpetuating body, since the members who retired each year according to rule were also according to rele eligible for elvation. When occur word filled on the nomination of the Connell, and thus the general body of Fellows had in practice no voice in the clection of their executive authority. Moreover, in the absence of the President of the Institute (his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales) no que member of the Council was untitled to assume the active direction of the affairs of the
remedying by the appointment of a Chairman of the Council.

CALL OF THE SEA.
AN OCEÁN TRAINING,
No one, romarks a London paper, can visit the lower reaches of the Thames-to- · go BO further without realising that with the increase of steamships the sea has lost much of its usage-much of its old appeal to the younger generation of Britons as a calling. True, this part of the river retains its old-time picture- oequeness to a great extent, by reason of the barges and other craft with blood-red sails out. lined against the smoky horizon. But the square yards of merchantmen are sown less and less,
and the boy of to-day finds little here on which
to feed a wholesome imagination kindled by Stevenson and W. H. G. Kingston,

In view of the healthy life, training, and dis- cipline thus afforded at the most critical age, it is not surprising that since 1890 Messrs. Devitt and Moore have carried about 400 cadeta, or midshipmen, of whom more than 100 served the fall period of four years required by the Board of Trade to make a young sailor. eligible to sit for examination for a second mate's certificate,
