now live one over all Britain, and the chief agitators are not army men but teachers. Lack of proper mater ial for officers to take the place of those killed and injured at the front and to supply Kitchener's huge new army and the inadequately officered territorial force, is one of the most serious problems of the war. All of the higher schools have been called on for subalterns, as the British "Tom- my" objects to serving under any off cer not born a gentleman. The teach CTS feel that they were in sense to blame for not having given their students some elemental preliminary training further than that of the small student officers corps.
 At a meeting of the Incorporate Association of Headmasters in the London Guidhall, F. H. Templar said in regard to the New Zealand system of universal military training in the schools; While conscription produces militarism, national training destroys it. The citizen soldier is a man whose every interest is bound up with the maintenance of peace"
 Another speaker pointed out that military drill and rife shooting were compulsory in the Swiss schools, yet he asked who could accuse the Swiss of militarism.
 A resolution declaring that military training in the schools would save the country from having to improvise an army in war time by providing Q re- servoir of partly trained men, was passed with only few dissenting votes.
