On Thursday a meeting was held at the Mansion House
in order to farther the cause of the Boys' Training Corps, the Lord Mayor being in the chair. If the necessary funds can be obtained the scheme will, we feel sure, do a very great amount of good to the boys who will get the mixed military and technical training. We believe it can be shown that it would actually have paid the parents of the boys who went through the "Spectator Experimental Company" to put down a sum of money in order that their sons might undergo the training at Hounslow. The money would have been easily paid back in the increased earning power of the lads. But the new scheme is in effect an enlarged version of the Spectator experiment. Though we have no responsibility for, or connexion with, the new venture we wish it all possible success.
