IcuucN VI DCAJ0 present Supt.
min Franklin, had studied military sci
ence in France, and it was ne who gave
our army it's first engineering corps.
The title of Father Of Engineers" was
bestowed upon him. Besides his work
at the head Of the academy, he built
most of the fortified tons in New York
harbor. including Fort Columbus, Cas-
tie William and Clinton the latter be-
ing afterward Castle Garden), and Fort
Ganscyoort He resigned from the army
after the Federal authorities gave
command Of Castle William to junior
officer during the war of 1912. He died
in Philadelphia in 1915, after having
been elected to Congress, and before he
could take his seat.
While the efforts Of Col. Williams did
much for the academy, the real initia-
ton Of the institution dates from the
appointment Of Brevet Major Sylvanus
Thayer, who took command July IS,
1917, and during sixteen years was at
the head of the academy in which he
had previously gained his military edu-
cation. Thayer practically made the
school what it is. He established the

one of Admiral Dewey's six-inch guns
and several large shells captured at
Cavite arsenal after the defeat of Mon-
tejo. These relics were presented to
Secretary Cridler by Consul Wildman,
and their history is inscribed upon
them. The fragment of the six-i1lch
shell, which is rusty from exposure to
rain, smashed the Spanish command
ants house at Cayite, destroyed $1O.-
600 worth OF property and killed five
Spaniards. The shells, from which the
charges have been removed, are unlike
any that are in use in the service of
this government. They are about eight
inches long, one inch in diameter, and
the bullet is made Of steel instead Of
lead. Around the bullet is band Of
brass, which shows beyond question
that the Spaniards were using ammu-
milton which is prescribed by civilized
nations. Although Secretary Cridler
receives relics from consuls In all parts
of the world, he prizes none SO highly
as he does the piece Of projectile which

Some Exacting Conditions.
If the young man who has to work
his way through Harvard or Yale were
compelled to live in room as bare as
the quarters Of cadet, he probably
would give up his education and go
home in disgust. The cadets don't mind
it, however. The son of the multi-mill-
ionaire who enters the academy sleeps
On his springless iron cot with it's hard
mattresses; sweeps the floor diligently
before daybreak in winter, and washes
in the ice cold water which he draws
racks and carries to his room in a
wooden bucket. The pitcher is a
gourd dipper; the wash stand is Of pine
and is probably worth SO cents.
There is no school in the world that
has SO exacting a discipline as has
Uncle Sans military academy. No:
long ago an English clergyman visited
the place, and after thorough study
of the methods employed said:
'It's magnificent, but it's beast1y
grind"
A penalty of seven days confinement
for mailing a letter before a fixed time
in the morning is imposed. A cadet
found a mile from the West Point
buildings after 10 o'clock at night is
taken back and locked up for six
months. These are examples Of the
style of punishment which prevails.

years course. and this is granted at the
expiration Of the first two years. The
pay of cadet is $40 per year and is
sufficient for his support. The number
OF students at the academy is usually
about $50, each Senator, Congressional
district and Yerritory-also the District
Of Colulnbia-being entitled to one
cadet, while thirty appointments at
large are permitted the President Of
the United States. But all the places
are not. at all times, filled. There are
at present three cadets from Venezuela,
Costa RIGA and Ecuador, who were per-
mitted to enter by special act Of Con-
grcss and who pay their own expense.
Appointees to the academy must be be-
tween II and % years Of age, free from
physical infirmity and able to pass a
careful examination in reading, writ
ing, photography, arithmetic, grammar.
geography and United States history.
Upon graduation cadets are commits
stoned in the United States army as
second lieutenants. with yearly pay of
$1,4OO for unmounted and $500, for
mounted officers.
Since the establishment OF the acad-
envy over 1000 cadets have graduated
and among them have been not only
some of the foremost military men Of
the country, but also distinguished
civil engineers and noted college pro-
fessors.
Gen. Winfield Scott once said: 81
give it as my fixed opinion that but for
our graduated cadets the war between
the United States and Mexico might,
and probably would, have lasted some
four or five years, with, in its first half,
more defeats than victories falling to
our share; whereas, in less than two
, campaigns, we conquered great coun-
try and established peace without the
loss Of single battle or skirmish.'
Its influence was also great in the
! Civil War; and this may be said with.
out rejecting in any manner upon the
thousands of gallant and resourcefu]
volunteers who pushed their way tc
the head of the army. The two great
generals-Grant and Lee-were West
Pointers. In the recent Spanish-Ameri
can war, the academy's graduates die
not play so important part.
