Be concluded by moving that, with • view to the per-
ioessoce of the robin, eer Circe, it is desirable that elementary
drill alma be established at public and other wheels.
The Hon. G. 137110. M.P., seconded the resolution, O-
wning that if the movement la which they owed so much
to Lord Blotto wee carried out, it would ally all future Isere
as to foreign invedoe.
Mr. Giotto' CAM/MUNI supported the resolution, and
urged the desirability at making It compulsory to teach drill
in all echools.

Kr. CONINGRAII, M.P., fully approved of the movement,
bat deprecated any attempt to convert our public schools into
regularn military academies.
resolution was pat and carried.
Dr. Hawrar (Provost of Ikon) proposed • resolution de-
claratory of the advantage of military drill in public schools
as • means of promoting order, maintaining disiipliae, and
conducing to mental advancement. He bore testimony from
hi own experience of the advantage of military drill in vari-
one public asd private achoola an tending to that order, re-
gularity. and physical health which was the beet•preparation
far mental culture.

Mr. TUFPNIaL, inspector of schools, seecoded the motion,
and stated that in all the schools under his inspection
wintery drill had been introduced with the 'maim ed.
vantage. He was anxious to say this to show that the
benefit was se great in the schools for the poor as in those for
the rich. In some instances. where the drill had been &bah.
doted for a time, the discipline and conduct of the schools
deteriorated, and the general program of education was fm.
pedal. Brass bands had been introduced in tome of the
parish schools, when the boy. were taught military music,
end now from eight or nine of these schools 200 musicians
were furnished to the army.
Mr. O. Vitaxos hoped the movement would not be mend
to absurd length. which would tend to reader its permanence
impossible, he referred especially to the suggestion he had
heard, of putting the boys at Eton and some other echoed' in
military uniform.
Dr. Ntitaox, who described himself as an old West-
minster boy, considered that the object should be to establish
drill in the public schools, which would give the tone to all
the privets schools. It was to this step that they must look
lot the permanence of the movement for voluntarily national
dellenes—when the enthteriasm in which it originatd end the
ileadynen which now characterised it had died out.
Dr. HLITTILT stated that there was no intention of putting
the boys at Eton in uniform without the consent of the
parents; sad the uniform, if sock it could be called, wee
merely as ciallsery deer.
Sir Di 'ACT Evers moved the 114,1 i resolution, and
quoted, ageism Mr. Bright and others who endeavoured to
throw ramie on the volunteer movement, the authority of
Adam Smith, the gnat political economist, who had devoted
a whole chapter to the argument in lavour of all great
seams adopting permanest measures for national deistic..
Be paid a high compliment to Lord Eleho, for his zeal in
fertherance of the formation of volunteer rifle corps, end ex-
pressed a hearty coecurrencie is the steps for which the
present menthe wee called together. The resolution de-
clared that it was highly impatient that the chief public
schools should take the lead, and est the example of the
regular pralines of elareentery military drill.
Mr. E. CH•DWI: I seconded the resolution, and urged
the importance ut introducing military drill as an element of
wellmthary education on smeltery as well ae on educational
ironed'.
The Bev. °. R. Oteio moved, and Mr. &muse, M.P.,
seceeded the appoin meet of a previelosel committee to carry
est the objects of the meeting, coming ea ummters Lord
Brougham Lied Askiturton. Lord West, and several other
noblemen ind gentlemen. This wee carried, es was likewise
a moieties moved by the Hon. W. F. Campbell, requesting
the chairman to communicate with the heads of the twitter-
' shim on the subject. The weal vote of thanks to the chair-
meemeeededled the prooledlags.
