RUSSIAN BOYS DRILL.
English Methods Copied by the Gov.
eminent of the Car.
From the London Standard.

IRON the London
Russia Is busy with a scheme for intro
ducing into the elementary schools. which
arc all state schools or church schools.
some system OF primary teaching in mill
tary ideas and military drill. The incep-
ton OF this scheme IS due to the initiative
of the emperor himself. who some years
ago read Gen. Baden-Powelrs books on
the boy scouts, and correspondent with the
distinguished originator Of that remark
able movement. Acting on a hint from
the emperor, the Russian war office and
other government departments concerned
are engaged in celebrating a scheme suit
able to Russia. and probably a bill en-
bodying the result of their labors will
shortly be introduced in the duma.
AS 1t stands at present there are not
many traces left of. anything which a
perusal of Gen. Baden-Powells ideas on
boy training can have suggested to any
Russian reader. The war office has pre-
ferred to go back to that glorious period
OF Fussia's history connected with Peter
the Great. AS a boy, Peter the Great, re-
siding at a village near Moscow then and
still known as ''Preobrazienskoe,'' organ-
lied from a number of his noble play
fellows and other children in the neigh
borhood a military company with arms
and equipment. These were called play
troops (potshny voysko). and in memory
OF the playmates of his boyhood Peter the
Great in later years named his premier
regiment Of foot guards, when the reor-
ganized his army, the "Preobrazhensky
Regiment
h regiment is still the senior corss
OF the Russian army. and the body IN
which the rulers Of Russia invariably per-
form their years service with a foot regi-
ment. The Emperor Nicholas II on all oc-
castons when no special reasons compel
another choice appears in the uniform Of
q colonel of the Preobrazhensky Guards.
The regimental march Of the Preobrazhen-
sky Guards is one of the most stirring
military marches extant, and in It's effect
upon all hearers in Russia may be COM
pared with THE British Grenadiers.'
The Emperor Paul. the ally of England a
century ago. likewise had q company OF
play troops at Gachina In his boyhood.
Then the movement fell into oblivion. un-
til the suggestion of the present emperor
recalled Its possibilities Of development.

Influence of Population on Taxes.
From the New York World.

That taxation, like the cost of living
Increases in proportion tn. the popula-
tfon OF the town or city in which YOU
reside, is Strikingly Illustrated in a
volume issued i. the United states
census bureau. The per capita assess
ment II expenditure seem to increase
right along. according to government
statistics. with the size of the city.
For instance. in cities having a popu-
lation Of 300. COO or over the average
per capita payment for meeting gov
ernmental costs i'm 1908 was $37. 80. In
cities with a population of 100. 900 to
100000 it was S27.5l; in cities with a
population OF $4,000 to 100, 900 1t was
$23.l and i'm cities With Il population
of 10000 to $4,000 it was only s21.o 90.
On hundred and Gfty-eight United
States cities containing between one
fourth N one-third of the total poula-
ton OF the United States expenda annual
ly about $40. 000, 600 for public
The average per capita expenditure OF
with less thar one-tfth of this urban
population. expends about 500, O0o.0 900
annually. or $5..34 per capita.
Prof. William -. Bailey. assistant
professor of political economy at Yale
university. in commenting on the
above official figures. says thai it may
be of interest to note the purpose for
'A> ~ WHY Tltlt
which these expenditures were made:
For education. $685.: higways. $3.50:
health. $3.50: police. s..25.. administra-
ton. 2.03; fire. $1.72; recreation, $1.1?:
charities, $1.16.
In addition to these items" says
Prof. Bailey. ''there was an eNpendi-
ture of about $3.50 on public service
enterprises which was returned to the
city, n also of $3.50 for interest ON
public debr. The necessity of this last
expenditure is made apparent when we
realize that at the close OF the year
1908 the total public debt of these
cities was over s2.loo. 900. 600. or more
than twice the total OF interest bearing
debt OF tho United States. In 1870
the debt of the national government
amounted to So. 1881. 900. 900. while the
debt of all the cities. villages and
towns OF h country was only s332S.-
100000. Since then the principal of the
national debt his been reduced more
than SO per cent. while the debt OF
cities of over 10000 is now about six
times az great as was the debt of all
the local communities i'm 1870"
