The Naton's MiIitarY- ENCOURAGEMENT

ha, Neb., securing voluntary enroll
age attendance of 1S0 pupils 1t may
be doubted whether, with the drafts
now made upon our regiments for
the detail of officers for various de-
tached duties, some of which have
little or no relation to the military
establishment proper, a sufficient
number could be spared to supply the
high schools of even the more pop
ulous towns with instructors unless
congress should see fit to reorganize
the army on the plan proposed by
the war department. But, to the eX-
tent of it's power and ability, the
latter would doubtless furnish every
facility to such of these schools as
wish to give their students a mill
tary organization and the elements
of military training. The advantages
sof such training seem to be obvious,
and may be enumerated under three
heads as effecting the individual
scholar, the school and the state,
While being taught the drill and the
manipulation and the construction of
arms, the school boy enrolled as
cadet acquires habits of punctuality,
neatness and obedience. Of these
the latter will perhaps be of the
highest value to him in after life,
for the man into whose mind respect
for lawful authority has not been
inculcated while it was in the plastic
stage laborS under a most serious
| disadvantage. The importance,t too,
|, of the physical benefit the cadet de-
rives from the drills, especially from
the setting up" or calisthenic eXer-
cises, upon which so much stress is
laid by the present drill regulations,
cannot be OvereStimated. We may,
therefore, conclude that the time the
| high school pupil devotes to the mil
itary department of the curriculum
will be proftably spent. The school,
as a whole, is likewise benefited, for
| it's discipline, with the maintenance
of which the military instructor will
| be charged, will certainly be supe-
| rior to that of any institution with
| out a military organization. Last,
| but not least, the government, state
| and national, will be the gamer by
! this method of disseminating mill
tary knowledge among the people.
| No nation, however wealthy and
pOpulous, and however advantage
ously situated with reference to at
tacks from without, can suffer it's mil
itary power and resources to become
impaired without mourning the con-
tempt of, and inviting sights, if not
| encroachments or attacks from for
| eign powers. Especially does it be-
hoove people like ours, absorbed
in developing the limitless material
resources of it's vast territory, to cul-
| tivate among the youth a military
spirit. This cannot be done more
effectively, it is believed, than by
encouraging and fostering move
| ments such as that under discussion.
as we'll as every other movement
calculated to produce or confirm
what may be called essentially mil
itary virtues, namely, straightfor-
'wardness, loyalty, patriotism and
| devotion to duty to the extent of
the sacrifice of self-interest, and
even of life. -,-5t T. S.

From Achilles to Washington the
man. If this no longer seems to be
the case. it is because all professions,
all classes, have endeavored to ap-
propriate the soldiers virtues. The
military man of ancient times was
very different from his modern type.
Savage, cruel, cunning, he would
have been tolerated by advancing
civilization only from necessity-the
law of laws-had not his whole char.
acter been transmitted by the phil
osopher's stone of Christianity. The
elevated ideals of chivalry were the
processes from which the butcher
chieftain, the slayer Of the innocent,
the enslaver Of the weak, the pill
lager of the conquered, became, at
length, "an officer and gentleman.
The frequent barbarism of medieval
warfare is only added proof of the
necessity for chivalry's exalted
teachings. The thrice admirable
philosophy of enlightened pessimism
has condescendingly rejected the
Bayards of knighthood as stupid
and impracticable, thus demonstrate
ing that the way to improve marks
manship is to keep the target within
easy range of the poorest marksman.
Innate soldierly virtues, powerfully
developed, have made the soldier a
gentleman, and the gentleman a
model for all the world-a portrayal
of honesty, candor, simplicity, gen
erosity, obedience, self-sacrifice and
devotion to duty-the rosary of al
truiSm.
This character of the true soldier
is the best refutation Of any possible
objection, on moral or polite
grounds, to the recent suggestion of
Lafayette Post, G. A. R., of New
York, that military training be in
troduced into the public schools. In
deed, so confident are the most care
full judges of the ethical benefit
from military discipline that the
boys brigade has been introduced,
with marked success, into the Sun
day schools of various cities.
Unfortunately for the unity of ma
tional sentiment, feeling has arisen
that the use of the military in
strikes has sometimes been for the
protection of special class interests.
There appears to be no foundation
for this charge. The military, in
such cases, is simply the instrument
of the civil power, and necessarily
a passive Instrument The remedy
for the abuse of this instrument
lies, therefore, in a change, or re-
formation, Of our civil governors,
and not in opposition to the army or
the militia.
These questions are discussed be-
low with marked ability and power
by some of the most competent au-
thorities in the Northwest.

President First Minnesota Bat
TALON, Boys Brigade.
The Boys Brigade in the United
States of America, better known by
its abridged title, the Boys Bri-
gade," though conducted on military
infantry drill as a prominent feat
ure of its discipline, is not, of course,
military organization in the usual
sense of the word It's object pri-
marily is 1.-The advancement of the
Kingdom of Christ among boys"
With this end always in view, and
aiming at all times to use such
means as will best secure it, the
boys brigade seeks to band together
the boys connected, and by it's in
fluence to connect them, with our
Sunday schools, and under the strict
discipline obtainable only through
military organization. Thus each
church or Sunday shool has it's own
company, as part and parcel of that
church and denomination, to the
same extent as is it's Bible school,
Young Peoples society or Mission
ary band. The religious work of
each company is directed by the
church authorities along such lines
as are, in their judgment, best
adapted to reach their BOYS and
young men, nearly every company
pursuing methods differing some
what from the others, and as best
suited to the age. intelligence. cir
cumstances and needs of the bows
composing it, Thus, in our own city.
the Bethel company employs meth
DDS essentially different from the
Dayton Avenue Presby terian. but
both are working to the same end.
But in all cases, while, primarily,
its object is the religious instruc-
ton of the boys thus brought under
its influence. it does not fail. wherev-
er and whenever possible, to incul-
cate suah principles as obedience,
reverence, patriotism, manliness and
courtesy, and general Christian eth
les; so that, while the boys are in
structed in military tactics, we aim
to help them to become first soldiers
indeed of our Great Commander.
Jesus Christ, and all that such a re-
Iation implies-true, brave, manly
Christian gentlemen and loyal Amer
lean citizens. No boy can be touched
by this movement and not be the
better for it, And if ever again our
country should find it necessary to
call upon her sons to defend her
and may our God spare us another
such calamity-wiIl not the Chris
tan manhood OF our boys rise quick
ly, responsive to her call? Truly,
the ethical training, aside from the
military, would alone produce such
a feeling. But when the boys bri-
gade shall have Christianized all
our youth, and they have arrived at
mans estate, such a crisis will be
impossible; the safety of the repub-
lie lies in educating and Christian
izing her citizens. With Christ as
our Great Captain, with malice
toward none, with charity for all,
but with the spirit of rs and 81
combined, ready to die if need be
that our country may be preserved,
such is the attitude of the boys bri-
gade.

Instead of moving their factories
to the Southern states, why do not
these New England manufacturers
and employees begin to agitate for a
repeal of that constitutional provi-
sion which prevents any state from
imposing imposts on the products
of other states. Among the other
reasons given for the transfer of the
cotton mills from the Northeast to
the South is the greater cheapness
of labor in the latter section. If it
is right to erect a tariff wall around
the entire country to preserve what
is called the american wage rate, :"
why is it not equally right to build
cross walls, in order to prevent the
inequalities which exist here? 1t is
estimated that the difference be-
tween labor cost in New England
and in Georgia, taking everything
into considera ton, is 80 per cent.
How does it come that this tariff
wall erected to preserve the equality
of this American wage rate, does not
prevent SO striking a difference as
this inside the wall? But what's the

should be taught military drill. [
believe it is beneficial to both body
and mind for the youth of the coun-
try to undergo a thorough instruc:
ton in the discipline incident to mill
tary tactics.
L do not see any danger whatever
in fostering the military spirit in
our people. The very fact that
million volunteer soldiers laid down
their arms at the close of the Re
bellion in 1865, after four years of
war, and returned to. the peaceful
vOcations of life, without causing 50
much as a ripple, is sufficient proof
that nothing is to be feared from
patriot soldiers.
AS the regular army and the ma
tional guard of the United States are
made up of men from the different
trades and professions and from all
walks of life, [ do not see how either
can be regarded as the protector of
any particular class of men or in
terests. To strengthen their posi-
ton, the very fact that you provide
military instruction for the school
boys of the nation will go far toward
preventing a division of sentiment
in favor of one class or another.
The regular army has already ex-
perienced great Improvement from
the fact that, of late years, provision
is made for promotion from the
ranks. 1t will be noticed that the
rank and file OF the army show
great improvement in the material
from which they are made up.
L think that our Sunday schools
have made wise move in providing
for the organization of the boys
brigade. The result cannot be other
than beneficial.

There need be no apprehension
that the national guard will become
the protection of privileged class,
as the guard is composed of young
men who enlist from pure patriot
ism and love of drill With a few
exceptions, they belong to those
who would frown down an attempt
to make the guard the defender of
any class.
The efficiency of the national guard
of this country, L wish to say, could
be very much improved by larger ma
tional appropriations; for, in a ma
jority Of the states, the bulk Of the
expense is borne directly by the
members of the guard.
My opinion is that no evil results
are likely to accrue from the encour-
agement of the military spirit that
pervades the youth of our land, as it
is the history of all nations that
young men of intelligence enjoy drill
ing and the use Of firearms. There
are a large number in this city who
have become members of the guard
for not only these reasons, but also
for the benefit derived from the
setting up" exercises in the drill,
and the discipline taught.
In regard to the suggestion of
Lafayette post, Of New York, that
all boys in our public schools be
taught military drill, think that, if
such instruction could be given at
other than school hours, it would be
beneficial, but there are too many
fads taught already. If, out of
school, or on Saturdays, the boys
could be induced to drill, it would
be much to their advantage.
The marked success of the boys
brigade in the Sunday school is evil
dence, to my mind, that a military
training, so far from being injurious
to character, is most efficient in de-
veloping moral stamina.
