In his annual report Col. Scott, SUI
perlntendent OF the military academy
J at West Point, sets forth that for the
| first time In the history Of the academy
II has been difficult TO recruit the ranks
Of the corps with sufficient number
Of cadets. At the present time the
corps 10 seventy-three below its author
lied strength. He calls attention also
to the fact that nine Of this years
graduates are Included among those
who have resigned from the army. The
reasons given are those peculiarly
known insufficient pay. slow promo
ton, and the allurements OF business
chances in civil life Men OF mid
do age will easily recall how In their
youth an appointment to West Point
was a coveted blessing and considered
a great honor. Especially was this
true among boys OF adventurous spirit
and those who ercelled In depart
ments OF athletic sport Aside from the
glamour OF military life the academy
was regarded the proper place for
those who were superior to their fell
lows In physical prowess and skill, and
the appointment an opportunity to
shine according to their respective abil-
tiles. Doubtless the growth of athlet-
les at college and university has had
much to do with the change Of heart |
and now the opportunities for more
brilliant showing In athletics are much |
greater at the university than Mt the |
academy. The boy who would |
have been considered a natural candi- |
date for West Point thirty years ago is
more likely TO evince preference for
any one Of a score Of prominent unlver-
stiles Largely, too, the boys are in
huenced by their parents, who can see
little that Is profitable in military ca
reer. The value OF four years at the
academy cannot be lightly estimated,
)ut beyond that tho outlook Is not al
urlng to the practical business man.
When hundreds of officers are resign
ng from the army because the opportu-
lltles for advancement and for the ac-
and enjoyment of comforts
IRE so slender, It is not surprising that
he life Is looked upon as one TO be
wooded. It may be deduced, therefore,
hat the situation Mt West Point is
he direct reflex OF the condition in the
.rmy, and perhaps 1t may be argued
hat as this condition is improved by
ction OF Congress In meeting require
nents OF the man OF to-day, so slim
Illus Will be given TO those who hesitate
