The War Department made public yes
terday the annual report of Col. A. L.
Mills. Superintendent of the Military
Academy at West Point. Colonel Mills
says that the academic year opened with
429 cadets on the rolls. During the year
30 were discharged for deficiency In stud
les. for deficiency in discipline, for
physical disability. 2 dismissed. 7 re-
signed, and "a graduated Colonel Mills
deplores the failure OF Congress to repeal
the present fixed requirements for ad-
mission to the Academy and placing
these requirements in the control OF the
Secretary Of War. He says:
THE entrance examination to cur pub
lie high schools demands substantially
the same requirements as does the Mill
tary Academy. while the average age Of
admission to these schools is under If
teen years. The minimum age Of admis
sion to the Military Academy is seven
teen ard the maximum twenty two
years. Consequently, though the age CT
admission to the Academy is from two
to seven years greater than the average
at which boys enter the public high
schools. the requirements for admission
are the same in both cases. This fact
is a heavy drag for the Academy in the
work 1t does, and 1t shuts off work it
should and could do II the subjects COW
erec on admission were changed to &C
cord with public school standards.
THE present requirements amount to
an invitation to many young men to make
an effort to enter the Academy who have
failed to profit by the advantages given
in the public schools open to them.
In consequence, and due to the little
required before entering and the neces-
sarily severer requirements after enter
ing, many failures result. The record of
years shows these on entering to amount
to almost one-third of the number ap-
pointed. while about one-half of the num-
Der who enter fail to graduate. The fail
ures in the course are not due to the
severity of its demands"
Referring to hazing, the report says:
ut Is pleasure to be able to report
that believe there has been an absolute
ending this summer of the particularly
cruel and extreme forms OF hazing new
cadets which were referred to in my last
annual report. This satisfactory condi
tion has heen brought about largely by
the volt ~ action Of cadets themselves.
In no army in the world is there less
of harshness in the training of the re-
cruit than in our own. and 1t is evident
that it must be taught cadets that neither
nor harshnesf are necessary to
the strictest subordination and best dis
cipline." t7
Colonel Mills recommends an increase
in the pay of the cadets to bring it to the
same standard as that of the naval cadets. |

GRATED at this time by a new edition of her
works It is called The Temple Edition. and
is in ten of the exquisitely made little volumes
which have honor for Mr.. ]. NJ. Dent, OF

Macmillan Company brings out the books in this
country. The ten volumes embellished with
frontispieces in color by Mr. H. NJ Brock; they
are bound in flexible leather and come in a neat

But this surpasses all its predecessors for
convenience and beauty.
In the series OF Temple Classics published
in this country by the Macmillan Company sew
eral new volumes have lately appeared. One of
them contains the famous interchangeable"
of John Earle, and. appendix the Char
acters'' of Theophrastus, the translation of the
latter being that of Healey, whose version in
the British Museum has not been reprinted
since the seventeenth century The "LaXdaela
Saga" fills another volume, being first
translated from the Icelandic by Mrs. Muriel
Press. Most welcome of all among recent
issues in this series is the translation of the
Paradise made by Mr.. H. P. Wicksteed.
Translation and original text printed on
opposite pages. Mr.. Wicksteed's version aims
at accuracy and simplicity. For the not too
ambitious student the edition has unusual mer-
it's. From the Macmillan Company have
also the third fourth, fifth and sixth volumes
in The Larger Temple Shakespeare" an
edition to the beauty and scholarly qualities Of
which have before this favorably alluded.
The same publishers send us, finally the two
concluding volumes of Mrs. Garnett's complete
translation of the novels of Turgenev. These,
the fourteenth and fifteenth in the set. are de-
voted to some of the famous writer's short tales.
