Away down there in Lima, Peru, one of

capitals Peruvian girls are following
close in the footsteps of girls of these

from the educational methods OF the

that | learned much from Mrs. Young.
II is her ability to assimIiatc and to
pass on to the people of her beloved

New Examination Order Expected to
Increase Cadets.

Under the general order issued by the
War Department, which was recommend
ed by the academic board of the mill
tary academy, candidates who have
passed the entrance examination of one
of the standard universities or colleges
will be admitted to West Point without
mental examination. 1t is carefully set
forth in the order, however. that candi-
dates must have taken sufficient mathe-
matics and other studies required at
West Point If they are to be excused
from examination.
That is to say, the candidate must
have credit from a recognized institu-
tion which will cover the usual mental
examination for the academy. That
arrangement. it is predicted. will great
ly increase the available candidates for
the military academy. Young men can
prepare for college and West Point at
the same time. 1t will give the academic
board a larger field to choose from and
do much to keep the academy close

the proposed expenditures. So have
critics of the bill. The discussion is
largely confined to explanation. but vio-
