Americas Standing Army

Marinette Eagle Star: The free pub
lie school is our standing army The
discipline its soldiers gain is not in
touching caps and handling guns.
Their minds are drilled more their feet
and it is moral training and discipline
we aim to give them. They should
learn obedience not to kaiser or king,
but to the laws of nature. and should
be taught loyalty to the ideals that rule
the republic Girls AS we'll as boys
are drawn into this standing army of
an educated democracy and share its
advantages equally.
The European system of standing
armies, while carrying few incidental
benefits, is by unanimous admission a
grievous burden. The American system,
faulty tho it may be is an unmixed
blessing. Ours costs far more-New
York city alone is spending $37 600, 900
on schools this year-but it pays back
to us every dollar with uSuary. Thus
while the countries of the old world are
praying for the day when soldiers may
dispense, we are ever striving to recruit
and increase our forces.
