The big problem before the staff officers in Canada just now is to fur- nish for the Canadian Expeditionary force qualified officers. Qualifying schools are established in several centres for all branches of the ser- vice. At Tete de Pont- Barrack there is the Royal School of 'Artillery for the training of artillery officers, and on King street is the Provision- al School of Infantry. Hundreds of officers are turned out eyery weeks with diplomas but it is months before these men can really be term- ed the term--officers. It is possible with the good system used by the schools to train an offi- cer in six weeks, weeks, but it is absolutely impossible to train a civilian to be both a sol- time, and as a result the rest of the training to fit them for overseas ser- vice must be done when the officers almost as much about the work. In the long run the short course is not quite what is needed. All of the staff officers and officers commanding advocate that civilians wishing to be officers should first] take. a non-commissioned offiver's qualifying course. what discipline means tp the man in the "ranks, and also take the work that an N.C.O must know. This course is for six weeks and at the fully passed, the man chould take fhe officer's course: Ia-theeo months taken up, the man knows the wirk from first to last'and is thor- oughly trained .in all bul the experi- ence end in all the work that an offi- | cer must know. s0fhe men have been doing, but there can be given a platoon"in as short a time as possible.
