AR\1V TRAINING AT M'GILL.
Teaching of Miiilary Subjects to be
Instituted Next Session.
A despnlch from Montreal says: An-
nouncement wax made on 'Tuesday at a
meeting of \lcGill's Board of Governors,
that at the coining session, McGill would
c<. -operate with the Militia Department
to institute teaching military subjects.
'1'hc proposal is to provide instruction
to qualify candidates for conunissions
Will in the Imperial army and in the
Ccnadian forces. The idea is to have
!s.lh in the Imperial army and in the
short courses of lectures, averaging 24
let lures in each course, on such sub-
jr cls as military history, tactics, mili-
tary law and administration, military
eoguncering, military topography. It
is believed That C:anada's universities
may be a source of supply of officers.
he War Office has for several years
offered commissions to university offi-
cers in Great Britain and Ireland, the
idea being to obtain officers with n
genuine university education, as well as
poetical training in military subjects.
Stveral British universities have adopt-
ed the Systehl.
