A SubCommittee appointed to ascertain the exact relationship between the Cadets, Daughters, and Sons of Temperance, submitted the following report:

To the Most Worthy Patriarch, Officers, and Brethren, in National Division assembled:-
Your Committee have made enquiries relative to the Cadets and Daughters of Temperance, but regret that there has been little result. The connection between the Sons and Cadets appears to be a mystery. The Constitution has been prescribed, Bye-laws suggested; but, beyond the National and Grand Divisions, have done little or nothing to favour the development of the system of Cadets. The relationship varies with the district. Not one district beyond London has any definite financial arrangement; and to some, the custody of the Cadet funds is a difficulty.
     Under these circumstances, your Committee recommend:-
1st. The centralisation of Cadet funds under the care of each Grand Division, each Section detaining a regulated portion of the receipts for management purposes.
2nd. The Subordinate Divisions instituting Cadet Sections shall make arrangements for the transfer, at stated intervals, of the benefit contributions from the Sections to the Grand Divisions.
3rd. The Subordinate Divisions working Cadets, and appointing Patrons and Assistant Patrons to the management of Sections, shall have the privilege of an additional representative for every Section to the Grand Division, such representative to be the Patron, or one of the Assistant Patrons, providing the one chosen be a Worthy Patriarch or Past Worthy Patriarch.
4th. Your Committee further suggest that the Committee of Management be empowered to amend the prescribed Rules and Bye-laws to bring these alterations into operation.
5th. In the matter of the Daughters of Temperance, your Committee regret that they have been unable to get any information. The subject is so beset with difficulty that they can see no way for close union. They therefore recommend that the semblance of association implied in the sale of Rituals and supplies be done away with, and the Daughters placed in direct communication with the organisation in America.

Submitted in Love, Purity and Fidelity,
