Australian boys begin their military
career at the age Of twelve years,
when they enter the ranks Of the "Ju

struction of their schoolteachers.
Their target practice is limited to
shooting what is popularity known as

At the age Of fourteen the school
boy Is graduated into the Senior Ca

begins in dead earnest. He learns to
care for his rifle which the govern.
ment furnishes to him. The state also
gives him an olive drab military uni
form. He learns the movements OF
squad and company formations and
learns to deploy as skirmisher.
The Australian schoolboy becomes
a soldier irrespective OF his own
wishes in the matter, or those OF his
parents. Truancy officers, such as In

Flodie had arrayed herself for the
evening with simplicity and artful

happily escaping the schoolgirl touch,
daringly showed her neck to admirable
advantage. Flodie's hair disclosed,
perhaps, more of her attentive care.
She had caught that charm OF care
