BAD LANGUAGE IN CAMPS

* —-— i SUPPRESSION BY DEFENCE . AUTHOEITIES'. Thie use of bad language' in the Nfcw Zealand training camps is being rigidly suppressed by' the militnry authorities, and the latest routine orders from the Gj?neraf Headquarters' School at Trentham state that two barrack-room offenders have been caught, and awarded two and a half hours' and one and a half hours' punishment drill respectively, while tho sergeant in charge of.tie particular hutment has also been awarded one hour punishment drill for permitting the use of bad language in the barrackroom. In a special memorandum to the Military Districts on tho subject, Defence Headquarters writes:— "Upon tho assembly of the present, course of Territorial and Cadet n.c.o's at Trentham Camp it was reported that the language ot many of tho Cadets vhtn off parade was exceedingly bud. As .this bad language was lizard before the ■Cadets had been in camp for ono hour, it is indicative that, as was found to be the case during the reinforcement training, this is bad language us!;d in.civil life, and not produced i)iy military camps. 'As tho Defence authorities are determined to prevent the us(j of bad language within' its camps or schools of instruct tion, tho following order was issued at the commencement of tho course, at Trentham of bad language. It lias been brought to the notice of the Commandant that upon the date of assembly at the G.11.Q. School, Trentham, certain Cadets heard using bad language. The use of bad language", either on or off parade 'is riot permitted at 'G.H.Q. School. Cadets so offending' after this warning 'will bfc immediately dismissed from the camp, and will not.be allowed to attend Subsequent courses, The Defencf. Department has been very unjustly accused of permitting the i'6o of bad "language on parado and in camp, although ample proof can 1« given that this liingago is brought into the camps from civil life, and is not the result of militarv training. It is of the utmost importance that it, should be impressed upon nil trainees that th« use of bad language on parado or in tho vicinitv of parado grounds will be eyvorely dealt .with.'" .
