The question Of the relationship between
the Military Academy and our system of
national defence is thoroughly threshed ont
in the July liarper's by Capt James Parker,
L. $. A, who is now stationed n: West
Point. Starting with the we,l-known his
torical fact that if the intention Of the
founders had been needed, West Point
would now graduate several times ms many
soldiers as ii does. Capt. Parker shows the
grave dangers of an insutticiency of our
reserve, III civil life, Of trained officers;
aud does not hesitate to say that the academy
seems TO be conducted not for the glory Of
the republic, but of West Point His
remedy is bold and striking, namely the
