TRAINING OF CADETS.
NEW METHODS » BENEATH CONTEMPT." By Telegraph—Frees Association—Copyright. London, August 10. Lieutenant-General Lord Dundonald, a former Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Militia, in the course of an interview, said the War Office memorandum, recommending gymnastics and swimming for tho training of cadets, was beneath contempt. "My Canadian experience," he continued, "convinced me that it is impossible for an unpaid citizen army to prove efficient unless it draws recruits from a largo mass of youths who have in early years acquired a knowledge of drill, and discipline, and the use of the rifle. If tho Territorial Army is to succeed, a large measure of boy training must be associated witli it."
