In 1999, there were still rifle ranges at some upstate elementary schools. Here's a news article from 1999 talking about the cleanup of lead contamination from one of them: https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/16/nyregion/hazard-tests-urged-at-school-rifle-ranges.html/

Mr. Dunn said there were 26 districts with interscholastic rifle teams in the state, down from 65 teams 15 years ago.

That was in 1999. Not exactly a hundred years ago.

In some districts in Russia the kids are run through drills to disassemble and reassemble rifles. Military version.

While Germany was teaching it's kids how to win wars the French were teaching their kids how to be nice.

The French and Germans both failed.
