Japan drills Boy Scouts with rifles

The Boy Scout movement has been received with enthusiasm in Japan, but with modifications. To the Japanese mind it offers an excellent means of inculcating early military instruction, and so the small Japanese drill with rifles. Some wear western costumes and some the garb of their own land, but all have caps. Thousands of young boys are being drilled by army officers and by the time they are through school will have the rudiments of military training.
