MILITARY DRILL IN SCHOOLS
Helps the Health and Also the Growth
of Patriotism.

New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
Many persons have seriously doubted the
propriety or advisability of organizing the
lads In our public schools into military COM
panies. Some have gone so far as to de-
clare in public speech and print that the in
fiuence created by these military drills ana
discipline will teach the young a spirit OF
inilitarism. which is obnoxious spirit.
they claim. in free country ike ours. The
experiment, however, progresses very well,
notwithst anding these objections. The lads
seem to like their drill, and they take great
pleasure In their rivalries. each one having
pride in establishing for the company with
which he is associated the best repute for
perfection in military appearance. Besides,
these drills and the occasional parades when
national celebrations occur. have done far
more to stir up the spirit OF national pride
and teach the lads what the Nation Is and
what the duty Of the citizen must ever be.
than all the lectures or text books which
they have had. The community, too, has a
great interest in these ,scAool-boy compa-
MES, and several times wnel they have pa
radei they have been the center OF attrac-
ton and have received constant tributes as
they marched for their fine appearance.
Bishop Potter, who has the genius of COM
mon sense, the other day threw cold water
upon those who have been complaining that
the military spirit was being inculcated into
these lads. The Bishop was speaking at a
public school commencement He said that he
was made glad whenever he these lads
marching with soldierly step and looking
like little veterans in their uniforms, and
he added that he had no fear that the boys
would all desire TO become soldiers and be
impressed with the idea that the United
states should have great army. and hav-
ing such an army. should be disposed TO go
TO war. or 10 expose the chip upon the
shoulders or to be defiant and tantalizing
i'm its relations to other nations. On the
contrary the Bishop thought that this
military discipline and drill was good for the
health excellent as an example OF what
should be the Willingness OF the citizen TO
recognize the authority OF the laws and
10 obey them, and furthermore would be
likely TO teach the young that while war
Is sometimes dire necessity. and the gov
eminent must always feel that when in
great peril IL can summon an army TO its
aid. nevertheless as all true soldiers. Grant.

OWNERSHIP OF THE GUYER CHILD.
It's Adopted Parents Given Possession
by the Courts.

The ownership OF the famous Guyer child,
which has given the officers of the Indian
apolis Orphans Home a great deal of con-
Germ in the last three or four years. was
established at Urbana, Ill. yesterday. The
child has been in litigation in the Urbana
Circuit Court ever since last fall Yester-
day the case was disposed of by Judge
Wright. who decided i'm favor of the family
who adopted the child four years ago. In
1891 the child was brought to the Indian
apolis Orphans Home by woman who
gave the name of Maggie Alexander. She
claimed to be its mother. and was willing
to give the board a quit claim to the little
one. The woman disappeared. and some
time afterward Mrs. ]. A. Bradshaw. presi-
dent of the home. secured place for the
waif in an excellent family at Urbana, Ill.
Fifteen months later the woman turned
up again. She was accompanied by man
who gave the name of Guyer and to whom
the woman said she had been married. The
couple were travelling about the country in
a wagon. selling patent medicines. They
called on Mrs. Bradshaw and demanded to
know where the child was. Mrs. Bradshaw
declined TO give the information. but prom
ised to get a picture of the child for the
mother. She secured a photograph from
the Urbana family and presented il to Mrs.
Guyer. The latter left with her husband,
and the officers of the home heard no more
from tnem until iast Tale Wheh an aPpedi
for aid came from Urbana A letter from
the family that had adopted the waif an
nounced that the Guyers had located them
by means of the photograph and newspaper
advertising and had brought suit in the
courts for possession of the child. Mrs.
Bradshaw, Mrs. Frederick Baggs and Po-
lice Sergeant Lowe were summoned as
witnesses in the case, which came up yes
terday. Sergeant Lowe knew the AleXan-
der woman, and was prepared to give the
court some of her history. When the case
was called she failed to appear, and the
trial proceeded without her. At the con-
clusion of the examination OF, two or three
witnesses the court declared that the child
should stay with the family that had
adopted IT, He promised also to deal with
the Guyers in case they continued their an
pOyance.
