OF the half hundred young fellows
graduated at West Point this year,
three, it appears, have pocketed $3.50
apiece in lieu of a commission, dotted
their uniforms, and subsidized into the
plain prose of civilian life. The theory
of West Point is that the government
educatss, lodges, clothes and feeds prom
isng boys TO, a term,o' years In order
to secure the benefit OF their services at
the expiration OF this term, as officers OF
the army. In practice, IL seems, the
government offers bonus to the boys
not to even attempt to make Any return
for their education. This may strike
nonmiitary readers as a queer way OF
dong business.
