Abstract
NATURE of March 25 publishes a leading article “Knowledge and Power,” a letter from Col. E. H. Hills, and a paragraph in the “University and Educational Intelligence” all dealing with related subjects. A sentence in the last-named paragraph throws light on the other communications. It reads: “Every officer in command of a company will be held responsible for the instruction of his men.” The paragraph neglects to state, however, that the majority of these officers entered Sandhurst or Woolwich at an immature age, probably without competition, and are almost as ignorant as the men whose education they are to supervise.
