DRILL NAY REPLACE
GYM WORK AT N. Y. u.
Students Hear Officer Of Young
Guards, Whose Growth May
Spread from Institution.

Steps toward the organization Of a
military drill were taken yesterday by
me students Of New York University.
Major Willis J. Physioc, executive Of
ficer Of the Young Guards Of the
United States. addressed them.
II the military drill is organized. il
is planned to make New York Uni
versity the headquarters for the entire
country. Major General Wood, ex-
Mayor Kline and Herman A. Metz, said
Mr.. Physioc, are in favor OF this plan.
Both a naval and cadet squad would
be established, with non-commssioned
officers Of the army a. instructors, and
the government would provide arms,
ammunition and targets. The students
in the squads would be officers in the
event Of war.
Archibald L. Burton, dean of the
College Of Arts and Pure Science, said
yesterday: 81 DO not question the edu-
cational value Of the military drill for
college men. The relation between
such drill and the development of a
militarlstic spirit IN the country At
large IL debatable.
with Us the question is in great
part one Of ways and means. and Of
the relation OF such drill 10 our whole
present system Of physical education"
Undoubtedly the military drill when
established would take the place of the
present gymnastic system. The stu
dent committee IN charge Of the ques-
ton is Kirk Daggett, Joseph Currsn
and Grafton Fish.

GEO.GOULD PLEASED
WITH PROXY PLAN
VIII Be Glad To Be Relieved Of
Missouri Pacific Burden,
He Declares.

George J. Gould, chairman Of the
board OF directors OF the Missouri Pa
cfc Railroad, who, It is expected, will
be retired as a dominant influence in
its affairs at the annual meeting on
March 9, issued a statement yesterday
expressing his pleasure at the prospect
of being relieved Of the responsible
tics of management.
81 have seen the call for proxies IS
sued by Messrs. Hemphill, Kahn, Pros
ser. Wallace and Winsor," said Mr..
Gould at the close Of a meeting Of
the Missouri Pacific board, "and, as far
as ! an personally concerned, shall be
glad, II the stockholders so elect, TO
have these gentlemen assume respon-
sibilities which my family and myself
have carried for SO many years.
with the money which three OF the
largest trust companies and two Of our
greatest banking houses can provide,
the Missouri Pacific should not have
any trouble in paying IFS s25,OOO,OOO
of notes maturing next June.
Il am particularly gratified with the
committees approval Of Mr.. Bush's
operation OF the property. ] felt. when
! selected him four years ago, in the
face Of bitter opposition, that time
would justify my choice. and am glad
the present management has been able
10 carry the property through the diff
fcult times Of the last few years, es
pecislly last June. whom the notes
were extended without the payment Of
any commission
Mr.. Gould's apparent expectation
that the notes maturing next June
would be paid created some amusement
in banking circles, in view Of the rec
concentration Of the proxy committee
that they be extended for another year
to insure the creation OF q cOmprehen
sive reorganization plan. It was said
the fact that the Gould eXchequer was
drawn upon last June TO pay off the
who declined 70 extend
may have been the inspiration for the
confidence shown that they will be met
when they fall due this year.

NEW STOCK EX. LAW
Participation in Gratuity Fund
Broadened.

An amendment TO the constitution Of
the Stock Exchange concerning the Fra-
tuity fund has become law. Hereto
fore the constitution provided that the
surplus revenue of the fund could only
be distributed to members in case the
number of deaths in any one year ex-
ceeded fifteen. For ten years there
have been only two years in which the
deaths exceeded this number. and mem
bers of the exchange have thus been
deprived Of this benefit in eight Of the
last ten years.
Under the amendment which now be
comes o law these benefits will accrue
TO members hereafter. irrespective Of
the number Of deaths in year. thus
reducing the cost Of the insurance pro-
vded FOR by the gratuty fund by the
amount of the surplus net income Of
the fund, which is understood 10 av-
erage about s65,000 annually on a prin-
cipal OF approximately s1,6O0,0 900.

to extend the services several days
longer. The Doctor very kindly
accepted the invitation and the
meetings were extended. II was with
great reluctance that they finally let
him go and only then with his prom
Use that he would return again.
Then the Lyceum Committee came
20 the aid. Besides being an evan
gelist OF note. Doctor Lamar has won
eminence on the lyceum platform.
He has lectured in all parts OF the
country with pronounced success

Every club has a bunch. Some
clubs have many. The bunch dear
est to the heart of Bereas women
is Cleanup Day. The women are
interested in orphans. Isn't the av-
erage back yard a sorrowful, check
cred aproned, barefooted piece OF
neglect? But watch our back
wards bloom like Pollyanna's this
summer. Why? Because the clubs,
the leagues. the fathers as well as
mothers, and the children are full
of ideas about gardens and back
yards and a beautiful Berea this
year; and we are certainly going to
put into practice our ideas.
April 9th and 2sth, Monday and
Tuesday, the city wagons will carry
away your rubbish. Then plant your
zennias and holly hooks.
It's sanitary to have clean house,
fine TO have a pretty front yard
but it's culture to have a pretty
back yard. Gossip across lowered
and clean back yard will be up
lifting.
Get busy. Clean up. Plant flow
ers. That's play. The city team
will carry away rubbish. That's
work.
