Another Exploded Fallacy.

Do the sons cf ihe "privileged" class and the sons of th? common pecpla receive nJiiary training together?

(By E. H. C. RIDDER.) Besides many other great "advantage;;'-' that were to accrue to a "democratic" country's welfare through compulsory military training, uc have been tela that the children of the rich, affluent-, or well-to-do would huvu to U'.ke their drill and training side by side with the children of the workers. A nice-sounding statement certainly, but how do thirds pan out iv the working? Just another fallacy, another trick, to gull the foolish, unwary workers. The children of tho "privileged" class—political, ecclesiastical, etc. —as usual, do not drill with the children of the common people. The sons of the "privileged" classes attend secendary schools, schools nml colleges. Those secondary schools arc allowed to run their own cadet corps. The, corps are allowed their own particular uniform —a uniform which is not tho uniform of the common herd.
