MILITARY ScHooL-By invitation We attended
In the Park on Saturday exhibition Of the boys Of the
Episcopal Institute of stspeton Staten Island They
were some twenty i've in number from ten 10 seventeen
years old dressed in military uniforms and all except
few who were small, armed with csr5nes and bay
onets Their eyolutons conducted by their mill
tary teacher Capt, F. L. Hagsdorp though the principal
Of the school Rev T. Towel also in attendance
They were reviewed by the Mayor and went through
their exercises TO the apparent qualification Of the spec

For our own part we confess that could not view
them with pleasure War is too horrible too revolving

mixed satisfaction even In the splendor OF It's peaceful
displays. A holiday parade becomes a sad spectacle
when we reflect that the soldiers whose music dresses
banners and movements are orderly and beautiful
carry deadly weapons In their hands and that the whole
end of their organization Is the destruction OF men Al
the sight the thought of CORY fields msnged bodes mes
striving in murderous combat and all the devastation
and horror that follow in the course OF war must rise In
the mind But when we see children, armed ndtrsined
in imitation of this terrible evidence of human deprsyy

young mind be made familiar with this worst Of oil the
scourges that alict the earth and hsbusted to the
thought of armies and battles To our judgment the
pursuit of soldier would be the last that judcious
paren, could wish bis child to be taught or that Chris
,an minister could appropriately teach. We know that
national wickedness and selfshness sometimes compel
men to the field of carnage and that 1t is thought neces
