HOW c1TIzErs sHouLD Be rRA1rED.

After reasonable interval of time no young
man should be admitted to the privilege Of yot-
ing until his fitness had been passed upon by a
competent committee. He should have some
mental and ethical training in the duties and
obligations of citizenship, and should accept
not merely the established principle of liability
to military duty, but also the obligation to be
prepared to serve efficiently The kind Of train
ing we lave IN mind would be valuable from
every standpoint It would not merely fit a
boy to be q soldier or q junior officer in com
pany or regiment of citizens call led to arms, but
it would 1T him to exercise the power and dis
erection Of policeman OF to show the courage
and skill Of a fireman. 1t would make him ull-
derstand the duties Of sanitary inspector. IT
would not only teach him how trenches are
made ii. time of war, but it would teach him
how good roads. are constr peted and main
tanned in time Of peace. Itswould allow him to-
specialize and to learn many necessary modern
things regarding inventions and the practical
use of machinery. There are great many
boys who cannot learn mathematics, physics
and chemistry by way Of theory or the use of
textbooks But beginning with the practical
machine as concrete thing IN its constructions
and its use, they can be led to d very earnest
study of mathematics, physics, and other
branches of science rom g he Progress of
