Businesslike System of
Daily Routine for Stu
dents, with Empha-
sis on Details.
BY General William yerb,ck.

II has been said that a boy is a bundle
or habits and that the better the habits
the better the boy. From babyhood these
habits are growing. and the seeds of the
habits, which make the future man. are
sown even in the nursery.
The happier and more nearly ideal are
the conditions surrounding a child the
better is the groundwork prepared for the
propagation of the Seeding habits, and,
OF course. the opposite is true that the
more artificial and unnatural are the
hothouse conditions surrounding his up
bringing the more weeds will eventually
grow in the childs garden and the more
bent will be the twigs

sophisticated and self-willed. often evi-
oences OF self-wll and selfshness are

The Students Daily Training.

In a military school much less time is
spent on mere drill than the public under
stands. Times have changed, and IL has
become more important to train soldier
in initiative self-confdence and ability TO
do well all that his hands find to do. and
so the training OF a cadet to-day is large
" along the lines Of all around hardness.
To take care Of himself and 10 keep all
the rules OF hygiene is more important
than tactics. and neatness of his sur
roundings more important than precision
in the manual OF arms. He Is taught TO
observe critically and 10 be keen In per-
ception These are all business virtues
quite as much as military virtues. When
a boy is sent 70 a military school and
taught 10 be soldierly IL is no more Il

Ideals Of Military Schools.
Many civilian institutions show splendid
results by establishing certain general
principles Of life to guide them and by
enunciating cer>ain aims, and the pupils
are urged on in these several general
directions, trusting to the innate instinct
in the boy 70 rise and improve where
soil, conditions and pressure are made so
favorable.
We OF the military school fraternity
also have these several aims-high Ideals
and general principles which govern sue
cess in life and make for honesty and
happiness-but we go many steps further.
We believe that details are more I'M
portant than generalities, and therefore
businessllke system OF school life Is
adopted, patterning after the military Tor
military and business systems are quite
SYNONYMOUS. This is made the ground
work of our school life.
With us a general principle is enunci-
ated and then analyzed and subdivided
into its component parts, and each detalI
is carried out by concerted effort to carry
into effect the general principle involved
A goal is determined upon and pointed
out TO the pupil. and then he is guided
step by step until the goal is reached.
Concentrating Upon Details.
A boys habits are the stepping stones
TO manhood. and by attention to small
things and by concentrating upon details
habits are properly directed and strength
ened in order to further the attainment
Of stronger manhood. BY discouraging
the negative and Untoward details weak
and evil habits are gradually eradicated'
\ military school is committed 10 the
proposition that to take care OF httie
things is to accomplish great things. IL
is consecrated to the principle that ne
must take care of the minutes for the
hours will take care Of themselves, and
that the best way TO save dollars is to
save cents. For the lack OF horseshoe
nail a battle might be lost.
From the sounding OF reveille to the last
note OF taps. the routine OF the day Is
punctuated with the thought that the
quicker you get there the sooner is the
task performed Everything in the sys-
tenn seems 70 advise to DO II now
II SAYS: Don't put ii off: do 1t alto

rewards are found in longer reereations'
