MILITARY TRAINING IN SCHOOL
An Army View Of It in Connection
With City Rowdyism.

From the Army and Navy Journal Of New York
Representing, as 1t is supposed to repre-
sent, the best educational thought Of q
city cursed with rowdy1sm, the action OF
the board of education OF New York In
protesting to the legislature at Albany
against the introduction Of compulsory
military training in the public schools is
one Of the most disheartening exhibitions
of fatuous blindness we have seen IN
many years. If there is one thing that
the youth of New York need to kill the
rowdy spirit 1t Is military training. There
is nothing more opposed to the rowdy
spirit than the soldier spirit. The soldier
is the product Of discipline and restraint:
the rowdy is the product OF license and
unrestrained lawlessness. One IS the an
tithesis Of the other. New York has with
in her grasp a means to end roWdylsm'
but with a stupidity that can be at
trbuted only to her colossal Ignorance
of her own shortcomings she refuses to
make use OF 1t.
During the entire summer special
force Of police has been organized to deal
with a condition of rowdyism such as no
other city in the world is cursed with.
Even the severe punishments of the police
courts have not availed to stop the evil,
and it is apparent that the springs or TINS
ruffianism lie so deep that efforts to eradi-
cate it from metropolitan life must be-
gil not after the youths reach or ap-
proach the age Of manhood, but far, far
down in the earliest years OF schooling.
Most of this rowdyfsm Is found among
the youths and young men of foreign
birth or extraction, who are unable to
understand the meaning Of liberty and
the obligation It implies to respect tt the ne
in our educational system which through
military training could reach the class
York life is recruited. In tho face OF
these outbreaks of rowdyism. with which
the police at first were unable to deal.
the board OF education should adopt a
tone of humiliation and humility. rather
than one Of arrogant Indifference to the
failure Of their educational system.
We wonder whether this board OF edu-
cation knows of the healthy movement
set on foot in Canada by Sir Frederick
Borden for physical and military train.
ing in the schools, and Of the gift of
$4,000 by Lord Strathcona for the fur
therance Of the plan. We would advise
the New York board to communicate with
A. G. Lewis of Ottawa, secretary OF the
executive council of the Strathcona trust.
and ascertain the purposes of this move

FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON. September 2.-Money was in
increased demand and discount rates
were frmer today.
The stock market opened with a cheer
full tone and hardening prices. but con-
t!nental selling caused a reaction, es-
pecially In Kaff1rs and foreign securities.
Consols closed fraction higher. but the
rest of the market was easy.
American securities opened slightly
higher. but Immediately sold of under
continental offerings. The closing was
easy with prices ranging from q above
10 as below yesterdays New York closing.
The stock market during the week was
uneasy. with irregular movements. The
undecided tendency and slump IN home
rails was due to liquidation and topheavy
bull account brought about by bankers
withdrawing support. Decreased traffic
returns owing to the strike together with
the setback In American securities made
operators nervous regarding the settle
ment. but this passed off without any
great difficulty. though some weak ac-
counts known to have been helped over
prevented any material improvement.
The whole market finished today with
an uncertain feeling on revived fears re-
gardfng the Morocco situation and rather

No Similar Conditions.

NO
No such conditions exist at this time.
There has been an overissue of cor
poration bonds. it is true, and stock
quotations were too high when the
decline started few weeks ago. but
there is really nothing fundamentally
wrong. People are disturbed and
afraid to embark on new enterprises
because of political unrest and the GER
tainty of a two-year infection of agita-
ton over the issue of tariff revision.
This, of course, is q highly important
business issue and it may be that the
country will be held back on that &C
count In fact, 1t looks very much as
though such would be the case.
Aside from that, however. the country
Is getting along fairly WELL Crops, while

reasonably certain to get GOOD prices.
railroads are carrying a pig volume OF
traffic and manufacturing and commercial
business, while not what 1t ought 10 pe, IS

ness these days on narrower margin OF
profit than in good times and they are
doing 1t on safe lines. There is no &C
emulation of product in any quarter and

Every community Of any size reports an
unusually heavy accumulation OF de-
posits. Cities OF the second and third
class report that they have local use Tor
their funds at rates which pay them to

fiscal centers That is good thing for
the leading cities. Were 1t otherwise.
there would be such glut Of money In

The moral of this is do not become

GERMANY FAVORS
ARBITRATION TREATY
SENATE. HOWEVER. WON'T BE
ALLOWED TO TAKE PART IN
THE NEGOTIATIONS.

Washingto, d. C.-The reply of
Gerlnany for a general arbitration
treaty with the United States was
presented to the state department to-
day by Count Won Bernstorfs, the
German ambassador. 1t is under
stood to be distincly favorable for a
treaty with Germany with England
and France, provided the United
States senate does not drastically
amend these agreements.
All previous efforts to negotiate an
arbitration treaty with Germany
have failed because of the necessity
to referee the question of arbitration
to the senate on each case in contro-
versy.
New Provision Added.
1t was claimed that a treaty would
bind Germany absolutely to arbitrate
while the United States was bound
only on conditions of the senate's
approval. 1t is understood that Ger
many's objections on the score will
be met by a clause in the proposed
treaty. contained also in the British
and French conventions providing
that disputes shall be arbltrated UNI
der special agreements in each case,
and the special agreement shall be
binding only when confirmed by the
two government by an exchange of
notes. This will give the German
emperor as we'll as the senate agree
ment.
