DEFENCE TRAINING
VIEWS OF SCHOOL PRINCIPAL. HIDING RIFLES NOT GOING TO STOP WAR. (Recd This Dav, 9.15 a.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. Mr Sutcliffe, late Principal of Scots College. Wellington, the new head of the Melbourne Grammar School, was the guest of honour at a social gathering at the school arranged by the Old Melbournians’ Association. Mr Sutcliffe said that in New Zealand he had attached great importance to proper physical training. “I am glad to see,” he added, “a strong cadet detachment at the school. No one is anxious to train boys for war, but it was difficult to avoid the fact that we live in a world full of jealous neighbours at a time when the spirit of brotherly love seemed forgotten. Hiding rifles from schoolboys is no more going to stop war than hiding umbrellas is going to stop rain.”
