The lIich school Drill.

The fact that ten thousand persons at
tended the recent competitive drill of the
High School cadets demonstrates the
popular interest felt In the event The
fact is not surprising For nearly twen-
ty years this regiment of High School
boys has been in existence. and during
that time its value has been fully shown
Nothing does SO much 10 develop the
character OF young men as discipline
The scmi-mlitary training not only sup
plies this necessary factor. bat 4 is also
a physical benefit. The cadets learn to
walk straight, to carry themselves well
70 expand their chests and exercise their
muscles The officers Of the companies
learn how to command. and upon their
young shoulders is placed no small degree
Of responsibility. The entire system OF
training is admirable. and, above alL
there is established an esprit du corps
which stimulates every high school pupil.
The fact that the work Of the cadets
Is performed with intelligence, industry,
and enthusiasm is shown by the splendid
character of their drill The praise be-
slowed by the officers of the regular
army upon the execution Of the manual
and tactics is heartily deserved.
The experience which the High school
cadets undergo fits thcm admirably 20
defend their country should such an oc-
casl0u arise Let us hope, however, that
their military ardor viii ind ample op-
rortunity for its exercise iu other fields

THE OPTIMIST.

On street car the other day a man

attention from the other passengers. He
was nice-looking man. but the aston

shoes untidy Nothing was said, Of
