MILITARY TRAINING.
Steady progress is being made by the Defence authorities in the preliminary arrangements to meet the various requirements of the Defence Act of last session. Instructions have been issued to Officers Commanding Districts that all lads between 14 and iS years of age attending high schools and colleges (including private schools),who are liable for service as senior cadets, and who are not at present being trained as such, are to be either enrolled in existing companies or new companies formed, to ensure that all undergo militiry training. As double rank drill for infantry is now universal, the strength of senior cadet companies may be increased, not to exceed 84 of all ranks, which will be the establishment laid down for infantry companies of the Territorial force.
