Abstract

Canada's R. O. T. C

In the United States we have the R.O.T.C. to supply the army with college-trained officers and create popular admiration for natty uniforms and bright epaulets. In Canada it's the C.O.T.C.-the Canadian Officers Training Corps. Unlike the policy pursued by the R.O.T.C. in the United States the Canadian counterpart has never thought it necessary to advocate compulsory membership but to rely on the rallying-cry of Empire protection to fill the ranks of the militia. For a time the returned soldiers looked on the misguided members of the C.O.T.C. with eyes but slightly jaundiced, but as the familiar parade-ground jargon continued to fall upon their ears a more belligerent attitude developed.
