The “New Zealand Herald” remarks: —“Tlie moment New Zealand began, to realise that its national existence, and the maintenance of tlie Empire which gives us Peace, would, sooner or later, depend upon its muster of ablebodied men, the. limbs and lungs of school children became a very different national value to what they were when everyone nostulated an eternally peaceful and unwarlike world. Thence, we arrive at the national position taken upon education to-day, when it is authoritatively laid down that every school child shall be taught physical drill to offset the deteriorating effect of cramped attitudes, and that every boy at eleven shall bo enrolled in' the cadet corps which are the first round in the ladder of universal military training.”
