petition among all the city students
In all schools and colleges where
military science is taught under fed
eral appropriation a strict course in
target work is compulsory. Regular
army officers are on duty at these in
stitutions. If the movement contin-
ues to grow it is hoped that shooting
ranges will be established in every
public school in the land.
While the presidents idea Is gen.
orally approved, there are some per-
sons and some organizations very
much opposed to 1t. The Interparlia-
ment Art Union, which is working to
bring about the peace of the world is
antagonizing the presidents pro-
gramme on this particular question.
although it regards him as one of its
stanchest supporters in the world
movement for universal peace. The
union takes the ground that If uni
versal peace is to be established by
means of international arbitration, 1t
becomes false step for a nation to
be cultivating warlike spirit among
its youths and young men by teach
ing them to shoot with the idea that
they may some time be called on to
shoot to kill in battle.

TEACHING SCHOOL BOYS

d RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S ardent
wish to make America a nation of
sharpshooters is in a fair way of
realization. Shooting clubs are being
formed in the various states and are
procuring arms from the war depart
nient; agents are being sent to the
large cities for the purpose of in
s.ructing the students in the public
schools how to load and sight rifles
SO that the school boys may acquire
proficiency in the art of killing.
Not the least startling of the varied
progressive ideas incorporated in
President Roosevelt's last message to
congress was a suggestion that rifles
be put in the hands of public school
boys and course in firing at targets
be included in the education of Amer
ican youths. This recommendation
was the final chapter in the presi-
dents message, apparently having
been added as an afterthought.
In the Washington schools brisk
competition has been started to de-
termine the best marksman. The boys
are tested by firing the guns from

tions. The most expert pupils in the
