There is at the present moment no large public school wholly devoted to the benefit of those services. It is proposed to supply this need by the foundation of na Imperial Service College, the maximum isolusive feer of which shall never exceed £81 per sanam; and in which, by sufficient endowments, a liberal provision can be made for those boys whose parent, or parents, could not afford prey to pay this murderste mount, Distressing cases of geed are common, more especially in the families of deceased offeers; and the South African War has left msay a widow with but too wranty moses for providing her ebilirea with such an education us will enable them to make their way in the world. The education to be given in the Imperial Service College is intended to be of thoroughly pruolical character; and a special
