Pupils’View Of Cadet Forces
(N.Z. Press Assn. —Copyright) LONDON, May 15. Students throughout Britain favour the banning of school cadet forces, according to a student magazine, “Sixth Form Opinion,” which claims that sixth form pupils are “dragooned into the force because teachers want a return to National Service.” “In one school in the Midlands,” says an /anonymous writer in the magazine, “noncorps members are made to sweep leaves all afternoon as the alternative. Surely this is when military training can become almost a social evil, when a few old reactionary has-beens on the staff blindly allow their love for the Army to overrule all else.” Of the 145 schools which replied to a national student survey on the issue, only about half had any form of military training.
