GOOD CITIZENS.
SIR R. LUCAS-TOOTH'S PROJECT Times' —'Sydney Sun' Special Cables (Received Nov. 6, 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 5. Sir Robert Lucas-Tooth, who lias donated £50,000 as the nucleus of a fund to stimulate and extend the activities of tho existing boys' organisations, primarily by training them in a similar way to the Cadets; also providing physical culture and miniature rifle practice, in a letter to Prince Alexander of Teck (chairman of the Executive Committee), said: "Since learning of the favourable impression which the Australian method of cadet training made upon the King when he visited Australia in 1901, I have been considering whether it wotuld be possible to give the youths of this country somewhat similar training under a voluntary system. The objects and views are to create good, useful citizens, by stimulating the spirit of discipline, self-control, and cooperation, and training those who desired it on- the lines, of tjie cadet iraining in Australia. The fund is to be employed to assist all boy organisations, without distinction of creed."
