CARRIER AGAINST ARMY
TRAINING in SCHOOLS
Superintendent Declares Boys
Are Not Physically Capable
of Enduring Strain

Military training in the high schools
of Philadelphia has found an opponent
in Dr. John P. CARRIER. superintendent
OF schools, who takes the position that
boys of high school age are not phy-
sically able to endure the strain that 1t
imposes and who decries the idea as
tending to build up a militaristic system
similar to that of Germany William A.
Stecher, director of phyical education in
the schools. also opposes the Idea OF
military training in the schools and
characterizes It as rank rot"
MY objection to the plan is that II
is premature and lacks perfection" said
DR.. CARRIER. The boys might be ply
sically fitted to undergo military train
ing and then when they are the right
age they should be put into camp and
taught to dig trenches and everything
else which a soldier should be taught"
Mr.. Stecher declared that military
training would be positive detriment to
the boys and that they are not old
enough or strong enough TO learn the
manual of arms and learn 1t right.
