CoRREcTs SOME FAULTS

and Military
Bearing.

! Military training for pupils in the
| high school has been advocated In
| the schools all over the country. The
idea Of introducing such training in
| the local high school has been advo-
Gated by Major w. B. Collins and 9th
ers who are interested in the matter
Major Collins considers military train.
| ing excellent for the boys Of high
school age, in that it teaches them to
stand and walk correctly and will go
a long way toward correcting the
school room SLOUGH which SO many of
| the students have acquired.
The sentiment for military training
/ In the schools seems to be growing
in the country, generally, and for Just
such reasons as We're advanced by the
local enthusiasts over the plan. The
| Milwaukee Sentinel recently published
an editorial on this topic. giving Gov
ernor DUNES views. The editorial
which was reprinted in the Chicago
Tribune. Is given herewith:
Governor Dunno Of Illinois advo-
Gates military training for college
students. So do many other gov.
ernors and others high In author
ity. and large share OF the press
! and the general public. There is
| military training in many, prob
| ably a majority, OF the colleges
and universities.
The training thus given the col
| lege and university students does
| not lack much Of being as valu-
| able to the students in after life
! as anything they acquire in their
| term of studentship. It trains the
| body as nothing else does. It
! takes the mind in hand and gives
1t shaping that no other train
ing does. It gives lessons in
| gentleness and gentlemanliness
that only the home can equal, and
| the home does not always impart
| it. It gives confidence in oneself,
courage, energy, ambition and
self-respect. It cultivates Patriot
| ism and law abiding as nothing
! else does.
Military training does all Of.
! these things for the college stu
dent
Why Not In High School.
| That being true, should military
! training be confined to that one
| educational institution? Shouldn't
| it be introduced in all Of the high
schools and the higher grades Of
| the district schools?
1t should be borne in mind that
more high school graduates do not
go to college than do have that
advantage. and tens of thousands
OF fine youngsters never go beyond
the seventh or eighth grades.
What OF this multitude that
stands in greater need of the ad-
vantages OF military training than
the graduates OF colleges and uni
versities?
This is an opportune time for
Governor Dunno, Governor Philip
and all other governors, public
men generally. the rank and flle.
and the press to take up military
training in the schools and con-
tinue the agitation until this vital
" needed branch Of education il
permanently added.
It is possible that sentiment may
be aroused to secure military training
in the local schools Keokuk schools
are lining up with the rest of the
country for the best Of everything,
and it is possible that the military
/ training can be introduced here.

1t is undoubtedly true that some OF

there are Implications. but it is fair to
assume that the number of undergrad :

CORNELL NEARING IDEAL
OF ATHLETICS FOR ALL

ITHACA, February c.-That Cornell
is approaching rapidly realization of
the ideal of universal participation in
sports and physical exercise on the
part OF the greater majority OF her
undergraduates is shown by COM
pilation of statistics which give refer
cnce to the number of students inter-
ested in the various branches of sport
made public here to-day by the athletic
association. 1t shows that of the 1900
students enrolled in the regular course
OF the university. fully 1000 are in
athletics and indoor and outdoor ex-
crciscs.
The statistics show that for varsity
teams about 625 men were registered
during one year, and that 42s mem
bers OF the freshman class Of about
100 were candidates for one 81 more
OF the freshman teams. In other
words, about 1000 OF the 1900 stu
dents at Cornell were directly inter-
ested in intercollegiate athletics, either
varsity or freshman.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Futher re- sponses to the Pan-America-n appeal for a peace conference anng the Mex ican factions were received at the State Department today, including that of General Villa, which was fla vorable. With the presentation by Enrique c. /Llorente, the. Villa agent here, of his chiefs answer together with his own, to Secretary Lansing, three responses to the appeal had been received. The other came from General Cantau, Villa governor of Lower California, which was also said to be favorable.
 The general. understanding here is that Carranza's response, which is now being prepared, as we'll as those of his principal generals, will be a joint plea for recognition of the con stitutionaI government in Mexico. Their plea, it was said, would be bas= ed upon the ground that the constitu- tionalists are in control of large part of Mexico, and that only through them can permanent peace be estab- ished.

 On the twelfth day the game grew close. In the ninth inning the Wash tngton catcher scored a single and numbered up to first. The Senators needed a run and needed it badly. Cantillion, who was coaching off first base. called to Hendricks. The youth divested himself of shis sweater and tTotted to the initial sack.
