MILITARY EDUCATION.
Dunedin, November 10. At a meeting of the University Council, a letter was read from tho Secretary of the Education Department, pointing out that if instructions in military affairs were combined with a course of higher education, young men educated in the Colony would have opportunities of obtaining commissions in Artillery and Engineer Corps of the British Army, and in the Line. The letter stated that in the course of two or three years a College Council would be started In Wellington, in which case differentiation of the colleges would probably result in the institution of a technical military school in connection with the college at the seat of Government. A report of the Committee of tho Council on the letter recommended that, in view of the small number of commissions open to ooloni ts, and of candidates likely to come forward, they should bo left to prosecute their own studios. The Council would, however, wilingly supervise examinetion. Some members objected to fostering a military spirit. The report was adopted.
