At the annual meeting of householders in the Te Aro school district (Wellington), Mr Fitzgerald strongly objected to the introduction of militarism into the schools, and he urged that there would be sufficient money for education if it were not for the expenditure on the cadet movement. In his opinion it was a shame to teach the boys the rudiments of warfare. Another householder support-

ed the cadet system on the ground that it was very desirable that the boys should be taught the best way of defending their country. The chairman (Mr W- Allen) said that he looked at the military element in

the schools more from the point of view of discipline. Mr Fitzgerald maintained that the teaching of military drill resulted in making the boys automatic; they did not think for themselves. Mr W. H. Robinson also thought that the money spent on drill could be more profitably expended on ordinary education. Mr W. J. Lankshear said he was satis-

fied that the military drill was having a good effect on the boys all over the

colony. MILKING MACHINE HINTS. Before deciding to buy _an unproved or“ improved” machine, wait till the heavy flow of milk is on. Previous machines appeared to milk all right in the slack season, but failed hopelessly on heavy milking cows. A trial even of one season is

not long enough to see if any injury results to the cows, and it is not only after a second season that the safety of any milking machine can be determined. Why experiment when you can secure the “ L.K.G.” machine, which has been five years in practical use, and has been proved by 250 level-headed New Zealand farmers, to be a complete commercial success. Book now to avoid the rush. Agents, J. B. Mac Ewan and Go. Ltd. Fort Street, Auckland.
