is not only sfrowneds upon by the soff-
GERS, but he is detested and avoided
by the cadets. He soon finds the life
sunbearable and either makes an effort
towards becoming an honorable, man
ly cadet or he is routed out of the
school. A tradition can not be Great
ed in a day but it can be created with
in the course of a few years, and
this has been one ofrthe chief objects
of the New Mexico Military Institute
from the day that it's doors were first
opened to students seven years ago.
The chief n of this school is to de
sically. To make a strong, clean. in
telligent, manly man, one competent
to command others through having
first learned to obey.
The New Mexico Military Institute
is unique among the schools of the

live in the buildings with the cadets,
assist them in preparing their work
at night, and take part in their sports
in the athletic field. All of the in
%structors devote their entire time and
attention to the cadets; their hearts
are in the work of making manly boys
Their aim is to encourage every good
impulse, every generous and manly
motive. They do not spend much
time about worrying about ~eradicating
the bad. With a wholesome normal
boy under proper environments, the
good should develop SO rapidly, so zig
orously, that the other side is given
no opportunity for development. They
give the good a chance and do not
worry about the bad.
Is Not a Reform School.
The Institute, however, refuses to
take boys into the school who are
known to be bad boys. 1t is not being
conducted as a reform school, but a
character building school,. Neither 10
they retain boys in the Institute who
are found to be immoral, or who are
not willing to obey the rules of the
school. All boys are expected to dis.
obey h rules to some extent and
now and then be subject to discipline,
but if he takes his medicine like a
man, all will be well. Here impartial
justice tempered with mercy, applies
the remedy for broken law, and pun.
ishment is entirely withdrawn when
the boys stubborn will yields a cheer
full obedience.
There are many schools and col
leges where boys will find teachers of
Greek and Latin, Spanish and Eng1
lish, mathematics and chemistry, and
all other branches of a college course,
are just as capable as the in
structors of the Institute; there are
schools where parents may send their
boys to enjoy greater luxury of living
than they will find at this school;
there are military academies where
graduates are as perfect in military
tactics, but it is a fact, that nowhere
can boys go and find teachers n of
ficers more earnestly and unselfishly
interested in them personally and in
their individual ucces both at
school and in after life, than they will
find at the New Mexico Military In
stitute.
The Location is Absolutely ideal.
When it ome to a question of To-
cation, the Institute bows to none; ev-
cry school in the United States must
salute the New Mexico Military Insti-
tute, which towers high above the
of its competitors and ranks as
the Generalissimo of them all. The
location is ideal. Situated on a fer
tile mesa overlooking the beautiful
town of Roswell, in the greatest arte-
sian valley in the world, are the cam
pus and buildings of the only strictly
military school in the west. The ele-
the very best altitude obtainable; the
air is always dry and pure; there are
not on an average i've days in each
