-Cassyille Index; Cassyilles ef-
ficient village marshal, Hubert Schuel-
ter, has hit on rather a novel plan for
pleasing the boys OF the town and
getting them interested in themselves
and at the same time opening up a
way for instruction such as they need.
His plan is to get all the boys togeth-
er and drill them as body of soldiers.
And it is surprising how readily they
fall into line. The boys will be
taught how to have fun and a good
time every day without being rude
and inconsiderate OF the feelings of
others. The tearing down Of birds
nests and the shooting to death Of lit
tie birds in the trees will, it is hoped,
henceforward be distasteful to them
