MILITARY EFFICIENCY.
WE MUST THINK TEEEITOEIALLY. . .. '■ ; . i In addressing the officers and non-com-missioned officers of tho Auckland- Garrison Artillery last week, Captain Richardson, Chief Instructor of Garrison and Field Artillery, said that the way to get efficiency in the territorial force was to give thorn plenty of home training. Tho homo training we were carrying on in Now Zealand was to his mjnd ideal, especially in the caso of tho garrison artillery, who were, training with tho guns, and on the very spot they would occupy in time of trouble. Many of the corps had mado themselves highly efficient, but individual efficiency was not everything. They must have collective efficiency. In the past this , collective " efficiency had been rather neglected. They had, if he might so put it, attached more importance to class-firing than to battle practice. He would ask' them' to "think territorially." He felt they could make the new scheme a very much better one than the volunteer system, but they must start well, and, above all, they must have the support of tho public and employers.
