MILITARY TRAINING
OF STUDENTS
i0 If one were persuaded that Mil
itary training was being abolished
in schools and colleges for the rea-
sons officially given, the movement
would have a different appearance.
When certain people say., "If we
wish our children to be good cit-
izens/* there is no disagreement
with that; but when they begin
there training in citizenship by
throwing aspersions on citizen de
fetise, them we have a right to be
troubled, even suspicious, yes anc
antagonistic. A Board of Education
which recently abolished military
training in the public slhools, was
studied by this writer 'for some
knowledge of its motive, and noth
ing was found beyond the state
ments made iji a particularly vir
ulent and.recently widely distribut-
ed pacifist pamphlet of the most
piffling variety. Yes, there was
a general expression of desire to
train the children in citizenship, but
as to the citizen's duty to defenc
his country and his home, and train-
ing him in that, there was the
strongest opposition.
Now, no one stands for the mil-
itarizing of the schools. And so
far as is known, that has never been
attempted. But it has always been
recognized that exercise in group
formation has been beneficial to
schoolboys. Since the World War
taught the terrible price that a
nation must pay for unpreparedness
its men (this nation is always pre-
pared in everything but men,) it
has been suggested that physical
training and military training,
where they run along together might
be advantageously combined in the
larger schools. And it has been
successfully done, its very success
has challenged the opposition of the
pacifists.
In any case such training should
be elective. In no ,case has the
complaint come from pupils who
have taken the training. In most
cases where pacilfism has influenced
the educational board, the students
themselves have continued their
training.
That is * the fact that stands out
in strange contrast to the pacifist
propaganda around our educational
boards:. The 'American student him-
self is not a mollycoddle. He thinks
it no damage to his character to
accustom' himself to the thought
that a male's duty to his country
includes his defense; he thinks it
no disgrace to his person to ac-
custom it to the duties that may
he required; in short, he is more
than art the mixed racial elements-
of the educational boards that for-
bid him to face his duty.

Pious faculty member to a cadet,
who had lost his temper: "My son,
do you know who died for sin-
ners?"
Irate Cadet: "Darn these conun-
drums, can't you see I'm already
mad?"
Correct this sentence: "For sale,
a house by a widow woman two
stories high."
Miss Atkinson: "If she is a
widow, it isn't necessary to add wo-
man"—and then the laugh was on!
Fish: "What is it that has four
wheels and flies all around."
Soph: ■ "Nothing, Boob!"
Fish: "A garbage wagon."
Do you believe in signs? If you
smell gasoline and look for it with
a lighted match, it is probable that
you are about to start on a long
journey. (It is not a round trip,
either.)

Mr. Eaves, in history class: "What

America! What did George Wash-

do? Of course he did!
The office boy had made a slight
mistake and the boss was now fin-
ishing a long tirade on his general
inefficiency.
"You're a fine kid, you - are!"
he howled. "Here I've taught you
everything I know and still you
don't know anything."
They sat under the spreading
branches of the old oak. It was

'Mary," he whispeied. "I lov
you, I love you! Dp you not love
me?"
With a start the girl placed her
hand over her heart.
'I think— I think"—her voice
was scarcely audible.
"\ou think you love me, he
cried.
"No!" she screamed, .1 think
there's a bug crawling down mv
back."
