Sharp Criticism of Army Life.

A writer in the November American
Magazine sharply criticises army life.
Taking up the case of the private who
enlists for three years at $l5 a month,
the author says in part:
what has he to show for those three
years that will help him to be success
full as carpenter, mechanic or mer-
chant or anything else that is useful 2
For three years his mind has been
turned away from all those things
whereby he might make a living. He
has acquired habit of idleness and a
distaste for civil life. Much of the
training and knowledge which he previ-
ously had have lapsed from disuse. In
their place he has acquired the vices of
the camp, but he cannot live on those.
If a man were receiving fifteen dollars
n month and at the same time training
that would At him for something useful
well and good; but at what price can
man agree to throw away his fu-
ture2
"a chance to see the world No
man sees less OF the world that is worth
seeing than the private soldier. He sees
the inside of forts and brothels. He is
not stationed where there is much TO
see, and what travel he gets does not
educate him.
