RECOMMENDS
Govt take THE
STATE MILITIA

Boston, Dec. 30.-A recommendation
that the state militia be made a federal
force. controlled and paid by the fed
eral government and subject to it's Or
ders," is contained in the report OF the
special state commission on military ed
ucation and reserve which was made
public tonight. ITO maintain a state mi
litia is an unwise and awkward dupll-
cation of effort: it is pursuing the shad-
ow and not the substance of national de-
fense,' the commission believes.
Among the recommendations made are;
Relieving the militia OF police duty and
the establishment of state mounted po-
lice: courses of military instruction IN
colleges: development of physical train
ing in the public schools, according to a
prescribed standard; teaching of mill
tary history, personal hygiene and camp
sanitation in the public schools; estab-
lshment for school boys of summer
training camps; enrolment of mechanics
and census of factories Of certain in
dustries if not provided for by federal
legislation; and institution of courses in
military hygiene in medical schools.
The belief is expressed that the navy
should be increased until at is at least
second to any in the world"
The commission consists of Robert l.
Raymond, a lawyer, as chairman; Wal
ton A. Green, editor and publisher of the
Boston Journal, as secretary; and Pres.
ident Charles w. Lyons of Boston Col
