§ Mr. SANDYSasked at what age boys enter and leave the Duke of York's Royal Military School; what proportion enter the Army; when the annual report is issued; and whether it would be possible to have this report printed, in order that information might be available as to the effects of the military training on the boys?
§ Mr. ACLANDBoys enter the school between the ages of nine and eleven, and leave at the age of fourteen, except those boys, thirty in number, who as study boys, remain on with a view to becoming students in training for Army School-masterships, and a few who are employed in the band who in due course pass on into the Army. About eighty per cent. of the boys join the Army. No annual report on the school is issued, but I shall be glad to send the hon. Gentleman information on any point which he desires to consider.
