In the autumn, when the corps has returned to
barracks after its summer in camp. the new men

the three higher classes are able 70 earn by

The four years spent at West Point are thus
years OF unremitting toll and Unrelaxing dtsci-

SO firmly fixed that they are never Outg-OWn:
the knowledge of how to study gained is never
forgotten. and a capacity for work is acquired
that seldom, even in the most trying ciTcum-

harm does not result from too strenuous or
unusual exertion. From the first these exer
cises are made to alternate with periods of
marchings, facings and other purely military
movements, so that the cadets knowledge
of these is made to keep pace with his ability
to execute them.
During this preliminary period he is receiv-
ing instruction Of another kind, likewise Of the
highest value. "A place for everything and
everything in its place" is the rule at West
Point. Bedding when not in use must be folded
and piled in a particular place and in partic-
ular manner; shoes must be neatly aligned at
the foot Of the bed; clothing must be carefully
folded and kept in prescribed places, and every
thing must be scrupulOusy clean. To enforce
these and many other requirements which have
to do with dress and personal appearance nu-
merOus inspections are made, and thus from the
first the cadet IS taught to pay the strictest at
tention to the neat and orderly care of his room
and belongings. and to habits of wholesome
cleanliness

significant figure in the Chinese empire to-day:
that place must be accorded TO another man IN
uniform. the student of the Western learning How
great and portentous is the change which has
come over this hoary kingdom may be seen in this
new educational ferment. China IS now committed
irrevocably TO the Occidental type Of education
After centuries Of proud seIf-sufficiency and an
appalling ignorance of what the West considers
learning, the old sytem Of education consisting
OF the memorization Of the Confucian classics has
fallen with crash knowledge Of these classics
was until recently the only road to political place
and social power; devoted their lives to an en-
deavor to pass these examinations, year after year
until the number Of candidates beyond eighty years
Of age was very large All this has now become
with China's past: the classical examination
system has been abolished and the famous old ex-
animation halls have been razed To-day all who
rise in China must pass through the gate Of the
Western learning
The ancient contempt for foreigners and things
foreign gave in 1900; to-day China is almost as
jealous for Western ways as ever was Japan. There
is now existent in this great mass of humanity
something approaching a national consciousness
which Derceives that If the nation is to be pre-
served from extinction it must be by the adoption
and adaptation Of Occidental education. In a word
new China must stand on the foundation Of a new
education.
Therefore. with the passing of the old exaInina-
ton system, there has come into existence a ma
tional board OF education Provincial governors are
required TO foster education Of all grades their
territory. An imperial decree has ordered that tenn
pies may be taken and used for schools; SO that
IN many places the venerable buildings which for
centuries re-echoed with the chants of the priests
now are vocal with the voices of young students.
Universities. colleges. high schools. have sprung
into existence, almost overnight, in all parts of the
nation The best informed observers of Chinese af-
fairs scarcely keep track Of the rise and prog
ress OF the schools. a Young Mems Christian AS

uons and halting utterances are discouraged
and all thoughts are required to be expressed

The division of time is most carefully made
Certain hours are allotted to study others to

erclses, others to sleep and meals and still
others TO recreation. Every hour of the TWENTY

by this standard, West Point stands pre-eminent
among the educational institutions OF the COun-

highly educated in the usual acceptation of
that term; on the other hand. ignorance of some
OF the fundamentals of a liberal education is
sometimes only too painfully apparent: but this
Is not the result of defective training at the
Military Academy It comes rather from n lack
or thorough drill in the rUdimentS of learning
In the elementary schools. There is no excuse
however, for continuing this condition after
graduation. The average cadet. whatever his
actual learning may be. leaves West Point with
n more highly trained and developed intellect
and greater capacity for hard work than has
