THE DEFENCE FORCE.
EDUCATION AND SOLDIERING. (Per Press Association.) Dunedin, June 28. It has been generally understood that attendance at drill by cadets enrolled under the military service conditions would be absolutely compulsory. It has been brought under tho notice of the managers of the Dunedin Technical School that pupils attending that school under the compulsory clauses of last gear’s amending Act are in tho position that no excuse, not even attendance at compulsory military drill, will be regarded as a legitimate excuse for absence from continuation classes. It seems that the compulsory education, provisions and the f'ompvdsprv 'ii.'litaiy seivice provisions both inflict penalties for non-attendance. Tho managers of the Technical School arc in communication with the Defence Department, and are also approaching the Minister of Education on the matter.
