school rife practice. In letter OF
congratulations 20 Ambrose Scharfen-

league, he takes occasion to encourage

retired. That the letter to young
Scharfenbergmay have as far reach
ing influence as possible, 1t was made
public at the Presidents direction to-
day. In part the letter says:
your skill is a credit to you and
also to your principal, your teachers
and to all connected with the manual
training school which you attend and
/ congratulate them all. Practice in
rife shooting Is of value in developing
not only muscles, but nerves, steadi-
ness, and judgment under excitement.
II is therefore of value to every man
throughout his life.
The public schools athletic league
has done fine work for the city and for
the country in introducing and promot-
ing athletics and a love for manly
sports in the public schools of New
York, especially as the league most
wisely allows no one to compete who
is not up to the passing mark, both in
studies and department am espe-
cially glad of what it has done in es-
tablishing instruction in rife shooting
''The United States has a very small
standing army. In time of war it must
depend upon hasty levies of volunteers
and 1t is a prime necessity that the
volunteer should already know how to
shoot If he is to be of value as
soldier.
"In no modern war would 1t be pos
sib1e effectively to train men to shoot
during the brief period of preparation
before the army takes to the neld. The
training must come in in advance and
the graduates from our schools and
colleges should be thus trained so as
to be good shots with the military riEe.
When so trained they constitute
great addition to our national strength
and great assurance for the peace of
the country

Oh, for some Asmodeus of morality
to make not only roofs and walls
transparent to his favorites, but also
to lift the veil of discrimination, fraud,
hypocrisy, pretense, falsehood and de
ception, which is spread over all things
to show how little true honesty there
is in the world and how often, even
where it is least to be expected, be-
hind all the exterior outwork of virtue,
secretly and in the innermost recesses
unrighteousness sits at the helm! 1t
