AS a result of the efficiency of the as

bringing to light 619 additional per-
sons of school age that city will re-
ceive over $500 additional from the
State in school money. Moreover the
expense OF these assistant assessors
was less by more than 500 than the
cost of doing inferior work the year be-
fore. This is good as far as it goes
but hardly reconciles the tax payers
to a bigger rate.

Military Drill in the Schools.

We have received a circular upon
the subject of military drill in the pub
lie schools, it being a protest against
the recommendation of Secretary of
War Lamont and the measure which
was introduced in the Senate last De-
ce.nber, by Mr.. Carter. providing for
the preparation of military text
book to be introduced into the public
schools The burden of the protest is
that the young boys of the land in this
enlightened age should rather be
taught the desirability of arbitration
than encouraged to regard patriotism
and warlike tendencies as one and the
imaginations and desires led toward
bloody combat This circular, how
ever, devotes much space to state
ments tending to show that military
drill does not afford the exercise and
physical benefit commonly supposed.
Among the authorities quoted to this
effect is Dr.. Sargent of the Hemen
way gymnasium at Harvard. He OBJ
jects to the military drill in schools on
the ground that it does not Ito any eX-
tent, meet the physiological demands
of the body He also says: I'VE
must further conclude that in case of
any malfcrmation, local weakness or
constitutional debility, the drill tends.

Col. Thomas F. Edmands Of the Bos-
ton Cadets declares that school drill
Injuries the militia service. He thinks
that the boy thus drilled in the public
school gets a swelled head and thinks
he knows it all and is unwilling there
after to receive any military instruc-
ton Of real value to himself or to the
country.
There is probably much of truth in
ing from the appearance Of West
Point cadets and boys who receive a
military drill there is little need to
fear any appreciate physical deterio-
ration on account of it, however far
it may fall short Of the hopes and pre-
dictions upon the strength of which it
is advocated. AS to filing the youth

rigor of military discipline and the
drudsery inseparable therefrom he is
not so likely to be blinded by the
slamOr of the military as might other
wise be the case. Indeed most boys
aspire to war and glory without any
incentive that military instruction
may offer. They derive no particular
benefit from these aspirations allowed
to run riot, and which seem natura
