Executive Council of the Trust to Inquire whether your Government fs yet in a position to accept behalf of Establishments under its control the advantages offered by the Trust for encouragement of Physical Training and Military Drill In Pub lic Schools From Inquiries which have been addressed to the Executive Council some misapprehension seems to arisen as aim and objects of the Strut Trust It with a view to the removal of any grounds that I am directed to submit the following remarks As yon are aware Lord St thconas object In forming the trust Is twofold the Improvement of the physical and Intellectual cap abilities the children while at school by means a proper tem of physical training calculat ed to Improve their physical and at the to Inculcate habits of alertness and prompt obedience the fostering of a spirit of patriot ism In boys to realize that the first duty of free citizen is to be prepared to defend his country to which end fall should so far as felvcn an opportunity of acquiring a fair acquaintance while at school with Military can1 rifle shooting regard to tbe Executive Council deems It necessary to require that a Pro vince before It can participate In the benefits of the Trust should pledge Itself to Include the regular curriculum of the Schools under Its control Instruction In Physical Training for all children of both sexes attending the same This requirement appear to be understood by all and there have been- so far Executive Council Is aware no serious objec tions raised to the universal intro duction 60 a well tested system of Physical Training into all the Schools Canada With regard however to the Thy Education department to undertake to encourage the forma tion of cadet corps including the practice of rifle shooting under suitable conditions by the older I boys in all educational establish- ments under its The system of physical train- adopted to be that In force in the elementary public schools in Great Britain which has been rei revised of he latest in Sweden Switzerland and other countries with such modifications therein aa the local conditions of any Province may show to be necessary The Education Department to undertake to require within a specified period all teachers who are already in possession tiflcates other than those the lowest grade to qualify themselves to instruct In physical training subject to the exemption of such teachers as art physically unable to qualify or are nearly at he end of their term of service bo that in every school there shall be at least one teacher capable of Imparting the necessary instruction The Militia Department will on Its part aid the Education De partment by affording the neces sary facilities to the teachers of both sexes to qualify themselves In physical training- by providing instructors until- time as the Provincial Authorities are in a position to undertake this duty themselves The Militia Department will also afford to the teachers the necessary Instruction In military drill required to enable them to become officers of cadet corps un der the same advantages as arc already allowed to officers of the Active Militia and will grant cer tificates of qualification The Militia Department will also pay the authorized grants to the teacher qualified ana acting as instructors of cadet corps and will supply to these corps such and equipment as are needed under the applicable to each case Sir IVedck Borden confidently hopes that after consideration of ho foregoing explanations your Government may sec its way clear at a very early date to
