TRAINING OF BOYS.
PRINCE OF WALES’S VIEWS. Tlie Prince of Wales lias raised a controversy by describing as cranks those who' felt that the only way to express abhorrence of war was by objecting to the healthy training and discipline which boys received in officers’ training corps. The Daily Mail says: Public opinion will heartily welcome the vindication of flie oft assailed officers’ training corps. It is time such assailants were rebuked. The training corps has done magnificent work iii keeping alive the spirit of discipline and stimulating the patriotic feeling without which there would be neither present safety nor future progress. The News-Chronic'e expresses the opinion that tlie Prince of Wales lias shown less than his usual tact and good sense by upholding to public derision opponents of the training corps. “Why must the zeal for physical training and discipline, express itself in contempt for people who think they can bo better seemed than by learning to shoot, presumably for the ultimate purpose of hiring other Europeans?” asks the paper.
