perience of the present census.

for the grand jury after a hearing before

COL. MILLS
TELLS OF
REFORMS.
HazIng Has Been Abolished al
the Military Academy al
West Point,

Washington. Oct. 2i.-The most import
ant feature of the annual report OF Col.
A. l.. Mills. superintendent Of the West
Point Military Academy, relates to the
, measnres- taken -faE-tiae suppression of
hazing. Treating of discipline. he says:
The discipline Of the corps of cadets
has greatly improved during the year
and is now in an excellent state. Ii is be-
lieved no military body of its size exists
which excels IL in soldierly appearance
and In the perfection of drill and mill
! tary exercises as well as i'm the higher
requirements OF devotion to duty.
This satisfactory condition has been at
tanned by firm adherence to the meas
ures adopted during the past three years
to create among the cadets higher sol
dierly regard for their obligations, I'm
particular those pertaining 10 hazing'
lie then reviews what has been done.
mentions the criticisms passed upon the
academy, the measures taken 10 stop
hazing and adds:
Throughout the past summers en-
campment which Us the time when new
cadets are being initiated into their
new life and when hazing Is ordinarily
practiced, il is a fact that the great ma
iority of cadets have obeyed the new or
der OF affairs and the regulations Loyalty
and willingly. Not one case OF maltreat-
ment OF new cadet is believed to have
occurred; none have been required TO
perform services OF a menal nature for
old cadets
There has been no prearranged fight
ing and new cadet training has made ex-
ceptional progress. One cadet was severe
ly punished for giving an unauthorized
and absurd order 20 a new cadet. and an
other for exceeding his authority as a
drill master over them. The action OF the
latter arose, i believe through excessive
zeal rather than a hazng spirit.
Another reform has also been accom-
plished-the abolition OF what is known
as official hazing, or the harsh and nag
ging tones of the cadet instructors over
new cadets and cadet officers exercising
authority and the substitution therefor
OF methods more appropriate for the
training and education OF young men 10
command In an American army.
'The reforms that have been indicated.
mark an important era i'm the history of
-rfiScipffrc- ;rrrd mifitary instruction at The
academy. Diligence and discretion on the
part OF the responsible officers will make
these reforms permanent without, I'm the
slightest degree, maring the perfcc ton
Of drill, appearance and discipline. The
custom among cadets OF settling dis
putcs or difficulties among themselves
by prearranged and often brutal fist
fights is over and there need be no appre-
hension that the stoppage OF such affairs
will Ga any way impair a proper habit OF
manly self-defence against personal as
sault or insults
