A man or youth who presents

himself for enlistment must neces sarily be both physically and men tally fit, and he must also be able to pass an educational test. Ad- mittedly, his test in not a stiff one, but it goes to prove that the re- eruit is not illiterate.

Nevertheless, accidents happen even in the best of regulat fed families., Exequently we read of cases where solicitors, bankers, and even policemen have been convict ed for their misdeeds, and yet we regard their professions as most honourable. Why not? Then why look down on the soldier simply because, there are a few bad eggs in the Army 1

At the earliest possible opportu- nity the recruit commences his training, not as a soldier only, but Also a man, and who of the time expired, can authfully say that they have not gained by this training?

The soldier attends a Regimental school each day until he has obtain- cd at least a second class education certificate, for which he receives 3rd per diem extra pay. Not much, it is true, but together with an- other 3rd per diem for good shoot ing, a thrifty man would very soon put this little to a good purpose. Thousands of men in the Army are in possession of "Firsts," while quite a good number are in posses• sion of
