ARMY REFORM.-
ARMY REFORM. The Committee appointed by the Secretary of State for War to enquire into the educa; tion of our Army officers has just issued its report, which is one of great moment to the national welfare. The document shews con- clusively that the Committee has tackled its task in a courageous, workmanlike manner, has not shrunk from inconvenient and unpleasant facts, but has gone boldly to the root of the matter and has wound up with a series of recommendations that will commend themselves to every practical mind. Almost at the outset the Committee places its finger upon a fatal fault of our Army system, which allows promotion to go too much by routine and seniority, irrespective of merit. This arrangement would be detrimental to the success of any organisation, because it removes the incentive to zeal in the per- formance of duty and the acquisition of professional knowledge and skill. On this point the Committee most emphatically repeat that the only chance of a general improvement in military education—and in the consequent efficiency of the Army-lies in an honest system of promotion by merit, following upon tests conducted in an honest and practical manner, honestly reported on and duly acted upon by the authorities." There is doubtless more in the foregoing sentence than meets the eye at the first glance, for it leaves the uncomfortable impression behind that, under the present conditions, the tests are not always" con- ducted in an honest and practical manner," are not invariably honestly reported on or "duly acted upon by the authorities." If that be really so, how can the country expect to get the best of our manhood to join the Army, or, being in, to exert its intelligence to the uttermost? The Committee, as a body of shrewd men, experts in educational and military matters, lays great emphasis upon this phase of the question. "So long as mediocrity is permitted to C, pass muster and signal ability to meet with no substantial recognition, it is," says the report, useless to hope for any valuable results from verbal amendments in the regulations." It recognises that no examina- tions, however well-planned, can of themselves make good officers and that nothing but inducements in the shape of certain reward for good work done either in peace or in war, on the staff or in the regiment, can raise the standard of knowledge throughout the commissioned ranks." When the Committee presses most earnestly its recommendation that promotion should be made to depend upon the ability and industry shewn in professional work, it is simply lay- ing down a principle upon which all well- managed business establishments are con- ducted, and which is of the essence of success. The evidence of the majority of the witnesses examined, also of the majority of the eighty- seven commanding officers to whom a circular letter was sent on this point, went to shew that, under the existing system, "the pro- motion of indolent officers is as rapid as-and may be more rapid than-that of their more industrious comrades." Small wonder, there- fore, that the junior officers are found lamentably wanting in military knowledge and even in the desire to acquire knowledge. To the same cause must be assigned the humiliating circumstance that "keenness is out of fashion" and tabooed as "not the correct form." Our Army officers have, in a word, followed the new principles laid down by the trade unions, to "ca' canny," and do as little as they possibly can. Bearing these revelations in mind, it is no surprise to find in the report that the literary education of the officers is of the same slipshod and perfunctory character as their military know- ledge. We thought the nation had advanced far from the standard satirised by Thackeray, who gives amusing extracts from fictitious officers' letters, in which bad spelling and bad grammar struggle for pre-eminence. We should not expect to find an officer of to-day writing to his best girl, and describing her as his "good angle," yet it is placed on record by no less an authority than Lord Roberts that officers can enter Sandhurst and Woolwich without being able to write a satisfactory letter," owing to bad grammar and inadequate means of expression. Nobody, of course anticipates or desires to have our officers writing despatches, reports, or instructions in the flowing periods of Macaulay, but there is no reason why they should not be capable of expressing themselves in their mother- tongue in concise, lucid and exact terms. In these days of; telegraphic and heliographic communications it is essential that the language should be precise and unmistakable, and where the grammar is shaky the meaning is always in danger of being confused. In this connection, however, it is but justice to acknowledge that the despatches sent home during the progress of the South African war have been models of the correct form of that style of composition. One portion of the evidence submitted to the Committee would be amusing if it did not affect a matter of some gravity. A wit- ness, Dr. Miller Maguire, who has an extensive knowledge of the Army, stated that the influence of ladies on the whole life of the Army is fatal to study. They should be kept out of military life as they are kept out of legal life in the Inns of Court. It is an abomination that the caprices of titled feminine idlers and intriguers, or of the wives of generals, should make or mar an officer's career. The nation should put an end to this monstrosity at once. I hear marvellous narratives under this head every day." It appears rather «n Adam-like course to blame the ladies for the inefficiency of our officers, and the Committee does not touch upon the subject in the report still, coupled with the complaint respecting the prominence given to games, we can appreciate the force of the objection. Young officers, it is to be feared, do not take their profession with sufficient seriousness. We have seen that it is not good form to pose as a zealous soldier, and there is too great a tendency for young officers to spend their time dawdling in drawing- rooms and passing their days with a maximum of amusement and a minimum of work. They are looked upon by some classes of the community as glorified dandies, but that they are no mere carpet knights has been demon- strated over and over again in the South African war. They have proved in long, weary marches, during siege and storm, that they are as worthy to wear the uniform of their Sovereign as any of the heroes of the Peninsula, the Crimea or the Indian Mutiny; they have fought with splendid gallantry, and they have shewn that fortitude and that unselfishness which are the characteristics of a gentleman. If in peace time they strike the civilian observer as prone to foppery and frivolity, the fault is less theirs than the system under which they are tempted, if not encouraged, to spend their time in that fashion. If the result of the Committee's labours be to reform that per- nicious system, to make officers infuse more life and zeal into their profession and to give an opening in even crack Cavalry regiments to men of moderate means, the Committee will have earned the thanks of the nation.

+ The Chester School Attendance Committee met on Monday to fill the vacancy caused by the regretted death of the Chairman, Mr. Roger Jackson. The Vice-Chairman, Mr. Isaac Jones, declined the suggested preferment, owing to his advanced age, and the Committee unanimously elected the Mayor to the post. The chairman- ship of the School Attendance Committee will shortly, after the passing of the Education Bill, become one of the most important positions in the Council, and the Committee is to be congratulated upon having at its head a gentle- man of the Mayor's ability and energy. A mis. taken notion seems to have got abroad that the Mayor is ineligible for the chairmanship of the School Attendance Committee. Needless to say, no such disability exists. The only proviso is that the Chairman of that Committee must not, if a magistrate, adjudicate upon education cases in the Police Court. The late Mr. Roger Jackson was himself a magistrate, but he never sat upon education cases.

No arrangements have yet been made for filling the vacancy in St. Mary's Ward of the Town Council, due to Mr. Jackson's death, but already the Radical candidate, Mr. Robert Challinor, is in the field, as his address pub- lished in our advertisement columns of to-day testifies. The Unionists have not yet met to select a candidate, but we believe that this step will shortly be taken and a keen contest is anticipated.

A gratifying instance of prompt and generous response to a pulpit appeal is recorded from Hoole. At All Saints' Church on Sunday morning the Curate made a request for pecuniary assistance from the congregation for the purchase of new surplices, new hymn books, and for the enlargement of the parish schools. At the evening service the Vicar made the happy announcement that, in answer to the appeal, he had in the interim received from an anonymous donor jElO for the hymn-books, a similar sum for the surplices, and two guineas for the schools. The only stipulation accompanying the gifts was that the new books and the surplices should be used for the first time on Coronation Day.

A NEW CARNATION.—The name of The Duchess of Westminster" has been given to a new and particularly handsome carna- tion. It belongs to the Malmaison variety, and is a beautiful, rich salmon pink in colour. The carnation has a marked clove perfume, and its calyx is so formed that every flower is kept intact. Another point in its favour is that it is much earlier than the ordinary Malmaison. The variety was recently shewn by Mr. N. Barnes, the head gardener at Eaton, before the Floral Committee of the Royal Horti- cultural Society, and that body without hesita- tion granted it the order of merit. PRESBYTERIAN PRESENTATION.
