TRAIN THE ENLISTED MEN.

III the war department could effect ar
rangements whereby men enlisting in the
army would have the same opportunity to
tit themselves for the various trades or
other useful occupations, a. in the naval
service, there would be removed one great
objection to service in the army. To most
time. for, barring the opportunity to obtain
some education, the enlisted man has little
chance To tit himself for future life while
performing duty in the army. Ii would
appear that the army might institute
classes in bookkeeping. ~stcnography, teleg-
raphy, printing. civil engineering. electrical
engineering. or applied arts or the various
trades. az which every enlisted man might
have the opportunity of putting in a few
hours daily. with the ultimate purpose Of
acquiring a calling by which he could sup
port himself and those dependent upon him
after completing his term Of enlistment.
There are, Of course. army schools. and
classes for the purpose of imparting GER
tain education Of n more or less rudimcn-
|tarv nature maintained nj our army posts.
which offer the opportunity 10 the men in
the ranks to improve themselves. But there

practical a. the training which the naval
service gives 10 the enlisted men.
The charge j. made that the army takes
from the productive population Of the
country the men who are enlisted IN the
ranks. ~ long a. they are in the service.
and therefore draws from the productive
capacity Of the nation n a whole. This
has been one Of the principal grounds Of
objection 70 a large standing army. Re
