Indians Prove Failures As Section Hands

The Southern Pacific tried out an experiment with Flute ~
dams a section hands last week and the prediction that the expert
ment will never be repeated is a safe one, says the San Francisco
Chronicle.
The company has encountered all kinds of difficulty with Mexl-
can poems on the various sections. The poems would WORKOUT
only when the section boss was within shovel reach. The sugges-
gestion that Indians be employed in place OF the Mexicans found
favor in the general Office.
Try them out" wired General Superintendent J. NJ. DAVIS
to Winnemucca, whence the suggestion came.
Within "a hours Indians had succeeded the Mexicans on track
work and the reports sent in to Davis the first three or four days
indicated that they were doing ~splendidly. On the fifth day, how
ever, the section boss was called away suddenly and left the work in
charge of one of the Indians.
He returned "a hours later and gazed about him in amaze
ment. The company was not being cheated of its mems time. But
over on the side Of the track the new section hands sat playing
poker. and toling under the rays of a hot Nevada sun were eight
squaws.
The new section hands left alone, reverted to the Indian Gus
tom of letting the women do the work.
And that's one reason why the Mexieans are back on the
section job.

The United States Military Academy

Although West Point has been occupied as a military post
since January 20, ITS. the actual creation of a military academy,
as it is known to-day, occurred in 1902, under the authorization of
an Act of Congress approved on March 16. West Point was Sc
lected on account of its location, and with a class of ten cadets pres
emit it was formally opened on July A, 1906.
The academy itself had its origin in a resolution passed by
Congress on October ], 1776, which appointed a committee to pre-
to prepare a plan for "a military school for the army" General
Washington was untiring in his efforts to establish the academy,
and it was at his request in 1871 that the corps of invalids was
marched from Philadelphia to Join the garrison at West Point. In
his message to Congress in December, 1898, he made a special ref
erence to the idea A fire in 1896 destroyed the buildings, but
they were rebuilt and instruction was resumed in 1901.
The academy passed through various vicissitudes during the
next ten years, and in March, 1912, was without a single instructor
The war of 1872, however, called the attention of the Government
to the pressing needs of the academy. Only II students had been
graduated in its first ten years. and through President Madison's
efforts the institution was reorganized in April, 1912, under the
principles which underie its present system.
Colonel Sylvanus Thayer was appointed superintendent of
West Point in 1917, and succeeded in making the institution fam
GUS among the military schools of the world. The civil war brought
West Point into considerable prominence throughout the civilized
world; so much SO that since then it methods have been carefully
studied by the experts of nearly every great government All the
generals of the civil war, who fought on either side of the great
conflict, were West Point graduates.
The system of training officers at West Point is regarded as
more complete than that of any other country. The student, at
present, mingles little with the outside world, except during his
furlough at the close of two years, SO that the four most impressive
years of his life are spent in a training and environment well calcu-
