BRIGHTON CADETS ON PARADE.
Cadets of the Brighton Technical School, who formed the guard of honor at the Empire day celebrations parade at the school, are now a very efficient unit.   Their smart uniforms and equipment, provided mainly through the generosity of the Brighton city council and other donors, as well as the efforts of the school council, evoked considerable praise from those who attended the service.   This week the cadets, together with other cadets from Wesley College, have been practising tactical exercises and undergoing general training at Fawkner Park.

GOVERNOR AT BRIGHTON.
INSPECTION OF SCHOOL CADETS.
Despite the inclemency of the weather, there was a large gathering at the Brighton Technical School last night, when the newly formed cadet corps of the school paraded before the Governor (Sir Winston Dugan), who was accompanied by Captain Henry, A.D.C.   The gathering included Mr. Macfarlan, M.L.A., the Director of Education, (Mr. J. A. Seitz), the Chief Inspector of Technical Schools, (Mr. E. P. Eltham), the mayor, (Cr. Young), and members of the local council and their wives.   The official party was received by Mr. R. Hayball, president of the school council.   The sixty cadets, looking smart and trim in new uniforms, were inspected by his Excellency.

Under Lieut. F. Fargher, the cadets marched to the school grounds, where the girls and boys of the school were also marshalled.

The mayor, welcoming the Governor, said Australia was passing through times more serious than most people realised, and he thought municipal councils should be given greater opportunities for helping in the way they desired.   Unfortunately, our defence policy was based on the British navy, and the country was not being organised as it should to be prepared for anything which might happen to the British navy.

As the Governor began to speak drizzling rain fell, and he expressed regret that it should spoil the ceremony.   Referring to the present disturbed state of the world, he said the Empire had at its back splendid men and women, and particularly was that the case in Australia.   (Applause).   As an old soldier he was accustomed to standing in the rain - and in snow and other conditions - but he did not desire to keep his listeners out in the rain.   Amidst laughter, as the rain ceased his Excellency said :  "Now it has stopped.   I propose to go on a little longer."   (Applause).   Addressing the cadets he said the youth of this country would be the men and women of the future, and on them would depend the safety of the Empire and the preservation of freedom, Christianity, and all that made up a good life.   We wanted to support the weak and protect them from those who desire to overcome them.   We belonged to a great Empire, which was grateful for the support it was getting from the Dominions.   He congratulated Victoria on the part it was playing, and he could assure them that it was greatly appreciated by the mother country.   (Applause).

​The official party was then escorted on a tour of the buildings, and inspected the annual exhibition of the students' work, which will be open to the public from 2 to 4 p.m., and from 7.30 to 9.30 p.m. to-day and to-morrow.
