We published on October 27th a letter from the Secretary
of the Central Association of Volunteer Regiments, which Informed us that the Association had accepted the enormous task of making itself responsible for the recruiting of boys' Cadet Corps. It is a splendid fact that the Association which has done so much for the Volunteers, having handed over a large part of it administrative duties to the War Office, should now be willing to take on new labours of the extent indicated in the Secretary's letter. if the scheme develops according to hopes and expectations, it will be, we should imagine, a much larger affair than the management of the Volunteers has boon during the war. A great many people are disposed to put off the question of expanding the boys' Cadet Corps because they say every military or quasi-military question is in a state of uncertainty. Nobody knows what Is going to happen after the war ; nobody knows whether compulsion will remain or there will he a return to a voluntary system.
