EDUCATION IN THE ARMY.
No Country in World Has as Complete
system for Officers.

How Uncle Sam keeps the officers and
men in his army up TO the top notch of
efficiency is told in a special report on
Educational Systems in the American
Army" in the annual report of the com
missioner of education just issued. The
statement was prepared by Captain
Douglas Macarthur and approved by
General Leonard Wood.
NO country in the world has as com
plete a system of professional scholastic
training for its officers as the United
States" declares Captain Macarthur.
"This is due to the inherent differences
between the military establishments of
foreign nations and that of our own
Their armies are at all times kept upon
a war footing, as result of which they
have ample opportunity for the perfect
training of the personnel in the prac.
teal duties of the military profession.
I'm such an army, the main object is
TO train every man for the efficient per
Torrance of his duties in the grade which
he holds when war comes. A lieutenant
does not dream of becoming a captain
merely as the result of war except as
vacancy is made for him in the casual
ties of battle. Only in the same way
does captain expect to become colo
mel; nor would the idea be tolerated that
great numbers of trained line officers
are to be suddenly transferred to va
rious staff positions
"Their organizations are founded upon
the theory that there is nothing mys-
FERROUS in the art OF war; that techni-
cal and scientific training is needed by
only small portion of military officers;
that certain things which a Napoleon
must know, every officer must know. and
can as readily acquire as he; while those
things which differentiate Napoleon
from other generals cannot be acquired
in any school. not even in that of war;
"Such system would be thoroughly
unsound if transplanted to the American
army. the organization of which is quite
different from continental armies. In

fact, the most striking figure in our
service is the absence of what constl-
tutes the very essence of the foreign
establishments; that is, great standing
army serving in corps, divisions, and
brigades, in which the average officer Of
any grade learns the details of his pro-
fession by practical work and with the
minimum of theory.
sour system of military education
must therefore differ from that of the
other great nations of the world. 1t
must be such as to educate our officers
so that they will be able at moments
notice, when the war expansion comes,
to perform the duties Of faradyaneed
grades and to render service in branches
of the army, both line and staff in which
they are not commissioned in time Of
peace For this reason we have estab-
lished progressive system of schools
designed to teach officers and men, limit
ed only by their individual capacities for
its assimilation, the duty Of the man.

 LEAVES TONIGHT

The final performance of "St. Elmo will be given by the Lyceum Players at the Lyceum this evening. Large audiences have thoroughly enjoyed the performances. A capacity audience is expected to be present tonight as it will be the farewell appearance of Mr. Blackmore in the leading role. He has accepted an engagement in Paterson, N J. MT. Blackmore has been very popular with the theater- goers of New Britain.
 In the initial presentation of "Our New Minister" which will open Mon day evening, preparations are being made for a cordial reception to MT. Cross. In the next attraction MT. Cross will assume the role of "Rev. Thaddeus Strong" the new minister. "Rev. MT. Strong is most congenial role for him. It pictures the type of the new minister. He is the type of a minister of true Christian spirit and placed in community where the townsfolk are schooled to the former straight-laced ways his pleasing char acter stands out strong in contrast. ''Rev Mr. Strong befriends "Nlance Ransom" who is the victim of the Jealousy of all the village folks, who dislike is because her father is an ex-convict. In the character of "Chapin" MT. Birch has a character role that gives him excellent oppor- tunities for character work.
