man who is ruled by fear, will turn

the other man will face the danger. !,
believe this is a fair illustration
, Of the manner Of controlling our cadets.
And with but few exceptions this is
the way we do it. But of course, there
are always in every organization, GER
tain men who have no respect for
themselves, for their fellowmen or

.+ Parents Invited. 7,
There are drills every night, and IL
parents are interested they can find
out where these drills will be and we
give them hearty invitation to visit
any Of the companies and either see
how their boy is progressing or help to
encourage other boys by their presence.
At the competitive drill on Tuesday
| It is hoped that many parents will make
it special point to be there and BY
SO. doing encourage their boys. 4, s
1t was most gratifying to learn re-
Gently that. not only the Grand Army
men and parents were interested in the
great, movement, but army and national
guardslnen are also watching it with
critical and interested eye. Several
officers Of Fort Smelling have expressed
themselves as. believing the cadet regi
ments T he ] ourn al has organized
| will inaugurate a plan of intoxicating
| patriotism in youth that is bound to
have beneficial and widespreading in
| fuence, as the idea is likely to be COP
led in other parts of the country. I
regard the work as one which. can do
more to straighten the boys up, make
| sturdy, manly men of them, teach them
to mind and give them a proper car
riage and respect for themselves than
any other course Of training or disci-
| pline. And from the results so far, it
is evident that what these men, who
have had years of experience and are
critics on this subject say, is true.
Become Manly Men. 81
Boys who were stopped and round
shouldered, boys slouchy in appearance,
those who never knew before the ele-
ments, of respect, Or obedience, are fast
rounding into gentlemanly young fell
lows, willing to obey, do as they are
told, to carry themselves correctly and
to say eyes, sir - and Ono, sir y when
spoken to. Many are also showing a
decided improvement in lessons.
All these things ought to induce any
parent to have his boy Join one of the
.
ever he can.
Regulars for Judges.
!. The inspectors or Judges for the com
petitive drill Tuesday, May 8, who have
kindly volunt to judge, are: q
Captain John H. Parker, Twenty
eighth United States infantry; Captain
John 9. Macarthur, Twenty-eighth
i United States infantry, and General
Fred B. Wood, adjutant general Of the
state.
/ This shows a fine spirit and these men
are to be thanked for their kind as
sistance.
The prize flag is on exhibition IN
Donaldson store. window. It is "a
handsome flag and is well worth work
ing for. Every boy must work hard
and get his uniform. There is no ex-
cuse for boy, not being in uniform
within two weeks.
i It is advisable to take all the special
drills possible. As fast as company
officers are appointed they will be re-
CURED to drill their companys at spe.
i cial drills, the uniforms only being
worn at that time. &
S. One thing [ only speak a word about
and it will be settled for good That
is matter of tspunkiness, or sulki-
ness. The cadets must know that they
not only belong to a company, but to
larger organization, and if I see fit
to transfer. men from one company to
another, any cadet so transferred must
go and without any trouble. and in do
ing this you are helping out the whole
organization.
I The Journal band will be on the
+ campus Tuesday to furnish music for
/ the cadets while they drill. All com
panies must stay together. Beginning
