MILITARY TRAINING
PRESBYTERIAN ATTITUDE. Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Nov. 20. The Church’s attitude on military training received very short shrift at the meeting of" the Presbyterian General Assembly, to-day, when a motion urging discontinuance of military training in Church schools lapsed for lack of a seconder. A few minutes previously the Assembly had adopted, without comment, a report from its board of education -oh the refusal of the three boys’ colleges controlled by the. church to comply with the Assembly’s request to dispense with military training. The report stated that, pursuant to a resolution of the previous Assembly, the board had informed the controlling authorities of Scots College, ’Wellington, St. Andrew’s College, Christchurch, and John .McGlashan College, Dunedin, that the Assembly did not approve of military training in Presbyterian Church schools, and desired them to arrange for some other type of disciplinary training in its place. ' _ The' board of each college replied declaring in favour of a continuance of military training, and set out reasons at length. All considered that military training was desirablo for the success of the colleges.
