SCHOOL CADETS.
Wellington, October 24,
A matter of considerable interest and importance came before the Education Board to-day. Mr Erskine, assistant teacher at the Terrace School, Wellington, resigned the captaincy of the school cadets. He was prepared to continue drilling the boys and supervising their shooting, but objected to having to attend ceremonial parades. Mr McMorran, headnfaster, wrote to the Board supporting Mr Erskine’s application to be relieved ot the captaincy.
The question arose as to what jurisdiction the Board has in such a matter. The general opinion was that the Board had power to insist upon an assistant master carrying out the duties of a captain of cadets at parades.
It was decided to write a care-fully-studied letter to Mr Erskine, pointing out the view taken by the Board.
The Education Board to-day considered the Department’s offer of a subsidy towards miniature rifle ranges, and it was decided to suggest the advisability of importing sub-target machines in lieu of instruction by miniature rifle ranges.
