No. 36 Members of the Military Forces to do Duty as With reference to the Regulations for the Cadet Services of Canada, 1915; it is found that no provision was made under which Officers or other ranks of the Canadian Militia could be attached for duty to a Cadet Corps otherwise than as the instructor, and in view of the large numbers of officers and other ranks who cannot be absorbed into authorized cadres of the Active Militia and who are anxious to assist in physical and military training the following amendments to the Cadet Regulations have been approved and will shortly be published in Militia Orders: "14a." Officers, Warrant Officers and other ranks of the Canadian Militia, active and reserve, may do duty with recognized Cadet Units. Service with a Cadet Unit, however, must not be allowed to interfere in any way with duties which may be incumbent on them in their Military capacity. The uniform to be worn by such personnel to be that of the Militia Unit to which they belong with badges of their militia rank. "14b." Members of the Canadian Militia other than the instructor of a Cadet Corps, doing duty with Cadets, will not in any circumstances be entitled to receive, from public funds, pay or allowances but such personnel attending camps of instruction with a Cadet Corps shall be entitled to receive transportation, camp equipment and rations, as authorized for Cadet Officers." The appointment of such personnel to Cadet Corps will obviate the necessity of appointing many junior Cadets to positions of responsibility for which they are in no way fitted. By being required to serve in the ranks, these boys will derive the benefits of the training of which, at present, through being officers, they are deprived. (M. H. O. Circular Letter No. 8, 1921. H. Q.12-1-19, F. D. 777, 10-2 21). 169. Applicants for Cadet Instructors' Courses should report with the appropriate information to the Superintendent of Education, who will keep the applications on file until the date and place of such course is determined. Applications will be filed in the order in which they are presented. 170. Strathcona Trust Military Drill Prizes.
