It is realised that the provi- sion of facilities and instruc- tora alone will not ensure the success of the scheme. The vital

link is the method of approach to the young people concerned.

"No Hitler Youth"

This will be carried out in a

var.ety of ways, including appeals to children just leaving school and sociations and evening institutes.

cooperation with old scholars' as-

The scheme is outlined in a

circular sent to local authorities by Mr. Rumsbothain, President of the Board of Education.

But it is felt that more young people can be brought to realise that the maintenance of fitness is an act of service.

"No Hitler Youth idea is con- templated," Бауа Mr. Rams. botham. "There is no question of regimentation or militarisa. tion."

The aim of the scheme is to build upon the systematic physical training given in the schools, and to give young people who have ceased full-time attendance at school wider opportunities for physical recreation.

Fitness-For-Service

The "Fitness for Service" scheme, started by the Central Council of Recreative Physical Training, in conjunction with the Football Association, will be ex- panded.

This scheme is now limited to boys and men of the age of sixteen and upwards, but the posalbility of its extension to girls and women is being ex- amined.

That she had been un- faithful to her husband and had got herself into a mess over debt was the reason alleged to have been given by a thirty- five year old mother charged with killing her child with an axe.

-

The mother was Mrs. Margaret Wilson, of Balmoral-terrace, New- castle-on-Tyne. She was charged at Newcastle with the murder of her six-year-old son, Peter, in u bedroom at her home. She was remanded.

Mr. Barry Jones, prosecuting, said Mrs, Wilson went up to a constable and said, “I have killed 'my child."

When police officers visited the house they found the boy suffering from head injuries. He died early next morning.

In a voluntary statement, Mrs. Wilson was alleged to have said that she hit her son several times on the head and neck with an

axe.

A doctor said Mrs. Wilson ap- peared to be suffering terrible an- guish. He formed the opinion that she was suffering from active me- lancholia, a form of insanity.

The board of Education and the directorate of the scheme emphasise that there are to be no forced-labour methods, nor, of course, will the training be con- Aned to "physical jerks," a con- ception of physical training which Wilson's husband was stated to in this country has been obso- be a sergeant in the Royal En- lescent for a long time.
