this years program and that is the
change of the order of drill. Formerly
each captain had complete program OF
the drill handed him as he marched on
the field. This year. however. there Will
be only part of the program which the
captains will know. Sixty-seven move
ments have been arranged. and these
have been in the hands of the captains
for several weeks. All the companies
have been practcing the movements, anc
the privates in the ranks are perhaps
as well acquainted with the movements
as the commanding officers.
When the captain has finished the
printed program he will report to the
chairman of the beard of judges for the
remainder of the program. This will be
handed him in a sealed envelope. Each
envelope will contain set of movements
obliged to put his company through
these numbers
Following is a copy of the part of the
program which is known to the cap
tains:
/. The company will be marched upon
the drill ground and formed in. line fif
teen yards in front of the judges, and
report to the senior officer of the beard.
2. Movements will be executed in the
| order of arrangement given in the pro-
gram
3. 1t is not to be understood that each
movement in every case can be exc
cuted from the preceding one. The
movements will be given. and the cap
tain is expected to use his own means
to execute them.
4. Any movement passed will be
marked 90 and cannot be taken up.
5. When marching, the distance passed
over must be sufficiently great to enable
the judges to determine the proficiency
OF each command. In every instance the
prescribed movement must be fully exc
cuted before passing to the next on the
program.
6. At the conclusion of the drill the
company will be marched to the grand
stand and presented to the judges.

Cadets Practice Singing.

The daily practice of school and cadet
company songs still continues. The
pupils are greatly interested in The
practice, for they seem to be nervine
themselves to the attempt to make
more noise and root" louder than any
OF the other schools at the competitive
drill this year. The following are the
songs which are being rehearsed:

CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL.

The High School Cadets of Central
have at last seen some active service.
During a recent drill the youthful SOL
diers were given an opportunity for
some exciting work. and through their
efforts two young ladies were saved
away.
The sun was sweltering and the
concrete pavements seemed to be
giving up enough heat to roast
the lads. 1t was about half an hour
before the boys were to be marched
back to quarters when a very fine and
handsome trap drawn by large black
horse came up New Jersey Avenue.
There were two young ladies in the car
riage and the bows faces took on a
more interested look as the young ladies
began CHANGING at them and the boys
recognized in them youth and beauty.
When the trap had gotten within about
fifty feet of the battalion the horse be-
gan to shy and then broke into q run.
nearby lamp-post seemed to be the
goal post of the frightened animal. The
horse dragged the trap, young ladies and
all into the post. and in a second the
carriage was broken. The cadets saw
the peril in which the two ladies were
placed and made a dash for the horse.
One of the boys got hold Of the bride
and few jumped to the rescue of the
imperiled girls. The horse was soon
quoted and it was found that the young
ladies were not half as badly hurt as
they were frightened. Major Winter,
OF the battalion appeared on the scene
and detailed three of the cadets to re-
pair the damage to the carriage as best
they could and see that the horse was
taken out OF the range OF the militant
voices of the captain and the young
ladies out of harms way.
Interest in Coming Vacation.
Everything at Central is beginning to
take on interest over the coming vaca
tor. There is no time in a school boys
or girls life which brings forth so much
enthusiasm as the thought that there is
but two or three more weeks of grind.
and soon they will be released and al
lowed to roam regardless of the Greek
| and Latin lessons for three whole
months. Parties are being formed and
clubs organized with the object OF fun
and pleasure during these three months.
The boys are making plans for camping
parties. For several years past there
has been "No-Name Club" which is
composed OF High School boys who
spend their entire vacation under can
vas at Colonial Beach. This year, the
club will again reorganize and go to the
Beach, The boys of this club always re-
serve Saturdays for the girls, and every
Saturday morning the boat brings from
Washington twenty-five or fifty Central
girls, who spend the day with the boys
in camp.

On Decoration Day there were picnics
arranged by the different clubs and sec
tions. Very nearly every Central boy
or girl was in a picnic somewhere
around Washington. The Senior Club
held a most successful outing at Chevy
Chase. They had provided music and
dancing for the occasion. The girls pro-
v!ded luncheon for the boys, and all the
boys had to do was to pay the street
car fare there, and possibly buy glass
of soda when they got back. Lucky
| things are boys.
The members Of section H had an
outing al Takoma Park and Glen Echo.
and from all reports they had lively
time. Several other parties were to be
found in different sections OF the sur
rounding suburbs. Some took adyan-
tage of the excursion boats and went
down the river. while others merely held
their picnics on the lawns of the pupils
who live in suburban homes.
-
The Sophomore Debating Society held
debate on Tuesday of last week.
The topic for discussion was. Resolved.
That the Nicaraguan route is prefer
able to Panama route for the 1sthmian
Canal" This is a rather heavy topic
for school boys to be arguing about. es-
pecially when brilliant and intellectual
members OF Congress have bothered
their heads over it for many months
Messrs. Shafroth. Gates, and Van Week
argued for the Nicaraguan route,
and Messrs. Agnew, Hand. and Rucker
upheld the Panama route. AS an
indication of their enthusiasm for the
subject the ardent admirers Of the last
named route are all wearing Panama
hats.

Some Student Discoveries.

One OF the boy students at the Busi-
ness has made a great discovery. ac-
cording to the ideas OF his classmates.
by insisting that pig iron is made by
pouring molten iron ore into pigs. An
other assertion IS made by girl in an
examination that monkeys are being
trained to pick cotton on the cotton
fields OF Tennessee"
a student named Kirk was looking
up information the other day to pre-
pare him to take part in debate on
Cuba. He went TO the Library OF Con-
gress, and. after looking over the cata-
logue. sent in a card with the request
for a book which he considered con-

title of the volume was Cubes and

seems determined that Business shall
enthusiasm that the winning of the
baseball championship by the school has
stirred up among the students seems to
have gotten into the blood of the
cadets and led them to practically slave
in the interests OF the institution.
While there are two companies at the
Business. there is not particle OF I'M
pleasant rivalry; every cadet, officer,
and pupil appears to have recognized
the fact that If either Company f or G
school. n Ere is. of course. a good deal
of company spirit. but 1t is of the sort
that stimulates action and competition
without breeding unpleasant rivalry.
The supporters Of both companies are
anxious in the extreme to see their
company win, but all regard the hope
that victory will come to the Business,
no matter TO which organization, as the
paramount issue of the drill.
Captain Manning and Captain Bowles
have proved themselves most efficient
and popular officers in every respect,
and under their guidance the privates
have developed remarkably. II actually
seems that the handicap under which
the school labors on account of having
only two years in which TO drill its men
in place OF the four years Of the other
schools has this year been removed,
and the supporters of the orange and
blue will undoubtedly march upon the
field on a perfectly equal footing with
those of the other high schools of the
city.

A DIFFERENT VIEW.

Nashua, New Hampshire Patriot.)
The Christian Register, edited at 272
Congress street Boston, has a leading
editorial in its issue OF this week on
the escape Of a convict out in Oregon,
and the manner in which he has dis
posed Of policemen, compelled private
citizens to aid him in getting away,
and made them cater to his physical
necessities.
The Register (Which is a publica-
tiOn devoted to the pulpit and things
kindred) sees no particular moral in
the event, and its only regret is that
the news Of the escape may get across
the water ito the continent of Europe,
where no distinction Is made between
Boston and Seattle"
If the editor of the Register would
look about him a bit he would not
undertake too sharp or severe a casti-
cation of Seattle or the people of the
far West If he had ever had the good
fortune to visit the progressive town
on the Westward slope, he would real
ize that human nature was much the
same there as in Boston, he would find
there some Of the best and brightest
products Of his own town, i'm the way

away from the small and petty things
that ensaye and dwarf
He would find on the plains Of Mon
taua some of the best and most manly
Of his kind, men whose creed is as
broad as human conception, whose
charity Is as wide as their country,
men whose sense of brotheriness does
not lead them to quarrel with one an.
other simply because they disagree
over essentials.
There are doubtless many. many
things, the East may teach the men
who inhabit the great plains OF the
West but, on the other hand, there Is
much the men of the East may learn
from the West

papers, he would know that in proper.

crimes committed and the percent Of
criminals are about as large in the
East as In the West.
II he will make survey OF his

they attend church out there. and II

will find that laws are not placed on
