West Point Academy.

1t would-be we'll for some public spirited
member of Congress to introduce into the
House Of Representatives a measure for the
abolition of the West Point Academy This
would have the effect OF testing the true
wishes OF the peoples representatives in re-
lation to hat much neglected institution
where we prepare the rough material of
future heroes. At present the Military
Academy is treated with coldness and
indifference that gives rise to the belief that
our sapient Legislators consider military
academy as unnecessary in America. 1t is
true that nations renowned in peace and
war. like England. France and Germany.
are proud Of their military academies.
where young men who choose the profession
of arms arc trained and educated to fl. them
for command. Perhaps our members OF
Congress imagine that generals are as easily
manufactured as are politicians, or they may
have such patriotic belief in the superiority
Of the average American over the efete
European as to think that he. needs
no preliminary training or education
to become an efficient general. If notions
of this kind are entertained in Congress it
might be well to give an opportunity for
their free discussion. when, no doubt, those
who hold them will be able to bring forward
convincing arguments of the souDdness Of
their views. In that case we would willingly
support measure looking to the abolition OF
the West Point Academy. But if it can be
shown that the average citizen of these
United States requires just much training
mere Britisher or Frenchman not to
speak of Prussian, then we say the coun-
try ought to do its duty toward the West
Point Academy in a large and generous
spirit and make it what it ought to be-the
best military school in the world.
