4 THE ASHBURIAN All educational Institutions that have attained to national importance have been assisted by the financial generosity of those who wish them well. Some of the great schools of to-day in Can- ada and in other parts of the English-speaking world owe their endowments, their new buildings, their increased facilities for sports, their scientific equipments etc., very largely to the gifts of individual supporters. It is believed that the future of Ash- bury will show that she is not, in this respect, behind other in- stitutions, and that now she is on a firm basis as a Trust Foun- dation, ' ' other supporters, who have been blessed with worldly wealth, will follow the generous example set by Mr. J. B. Fraser and by those others whose names appear in the sub-joined list, and will still further promote the growth and efficiency of the School by from time to time donating additions and improve- ments. Ashbury has sent a very large proportion of her Old Boys to the front, and of these many have given their lives for their Empire ' s safety. To any Parents who are thinking of a Memo- rial for their fallen sons, it is suggested that an additional building or some new equipment for the School would serve to keep their sons ' memory constantly before the Ashbury boys, and would at the same time increase for other boys the efficiency of that train- ing which helped to mould a young life that did such great things.

This year Cricket has thoroughly established itself at Ash- bury as a r egular school game. The younger members of the school have entered into it with a keenness and enthusiasm which promises well for the future. This especially gratifying as there is no game, which brings out more of those quahties , which are an essential part of gentlemanly conduct and character. Practice games have been held regularly every week and all the boys show signs of improvement in knowledge of the game and skill in playing. One would like to arrange some real matches both for the Intermediates and Juniors, but this is extremely difficult. How- ever something in this line may be attempted next year. The fact that all the younger boys now play the game is sure to, strengthen the senior team and one will not now have to turn out players made to order in a few weeks. Amongst the Intermediates there are several promising players who will be in the running for next years honours. Amongst these may be mentioned Tamplet, Redpath, Evans III Hodgson, Mclnnes and others. All will be given a chance and success will attend those who practice regularly and conscien- tiously. The Juniors contain several youngsters of promise. Heney and Minnes should make good wicket-keepers. McDougal Graham, Heney, Adams, Dewar and Woollcombe have from time to time made good scores. Unfortunately all have a tendency to pull the ball round to the leg side, they are advised to avoid this weakness, and to play the ball more to the off. ' ' Cavendish is a very promising bowler; he should be careful not to try to bowl too fast. Too many of the others bowl underhand. Next year this style of bowling will be forbidden and all will have to bowl in the orthodox way. All the boys are to be congratulated on the
