“The great body of our citizens shoot less as times goes on. We should encourage rifle practice among schoolboys, and indeed among all classes, as well as in the military services by every means in our power.

The first step – in the direction of preparation to avert war if possible, and to be fit for war if it should come – is to teach men to shoot!”
