THE EDUCATIONAL TRAIN- ING OF BRITISH SOLDIERS.
NEW ICHIME TO COME INTO FORCE NEXT MONTË.
The Army Council has called the attention of General Officers com- manding the British Forces at home! and abroad to the fact that educational training is now an integral part of the training of the soldier, and will be taken into account by Officers commanding formations and units in framing any programmes of work which are being, or will be, made out for the future. The Army Council considers it inexpedient at the pres eat time to lay down definitely the hours, which should be allocated weekly to this branch of training. since the requirements of the various units in this matter must necessarily vary considerably under conditions.

Educationalist Specialist can deal with the man in detail. The system to be adopted therefore will be that the Platoon Commander in the In- fantry and his equivalent in other arms and corps will actually Instruct his men but will have the advantage of the Specialist to refer to for advice.
It is recognised that this system cannot be introduced throughout the Command at once, but the system is to be observed in developing all matters of education of the soldier.
Officer Commanding Units will therefore make such enquiries as will ascertain the value as educational instructors, of their Officers and Senior N.C.Os. and render a detailed report as soon as possible as to the best way in which they can apply the above and following principles to
the Unit under their command.
In rendering these reports, a para- graph should be added showing what facilities in the nature of courses they consider should be arranged to afford a constant, supply of personnel in Units for Regimental General Educational Training.
