Editor of The Washington Herald:
Would you please permit space for a
few words in reply to your correspondent
in Wednesday issue from one who Is not
pro German? He says we have a dispo-
sitlOn to remember things that happened
several decades ago but fail to call to
mind recent events. Now the power OF
remembrance always takes in not only
the element of time but the Importance
of the events to be considered. Such
being the case il is only necessary to re-
call the Alabama incident to show that
the conditions about which the gentle
man complains are perfectly logical This

Yale's Head Slaps P acifsts;
Says War-Study Means Peace
DR.. Hadey Not in Favor Of Compulsory Military Drill but
Thinks Actual knowledge of Military Affairs
Decreases Danger of Strife

Discussion OF the proper place of mill
tary instruction in our educational sys-
tenn" together with a summary of the
history of military instruction at Yale,
consumes the first twenty pages of the
annual report of President Hadley, of
Yale University. copies of which were re-
ceived in Washington yesterday. The en-
tire report consumes only forty-two
pages.
dent Hadley writes:
These camps are organized simultane-
ously in different parts of the country, to
meet the needs of the students of the
various sections. Those at which Yale
has been chiefly represented were at
Gettysburg in 1913. at Burlington in 1914
and at Plattsburg in 1915. To those who
are interested in the Yale tradition of
public service, it is a gratifying fact that
Yale has had larger aggregate enroll
ment in the different United States stu
dent camps than any other institution in
the country. At the Plattsburg encamp-
ment alone there were more than eighty
Yale men.
Under these circumstances. We have
had considerable opportunity to watch the
educational effect of this system; and 1
have no hesitation in saying that. wholly
aside from their military value in pre-
pairing a reserve of partly trained officers
for military service in the event of war,
the camps have an educational value
that much more than justifies their or
ganizatior and their maintenance
For the education received at summer
camps is not a training in the snowy
side of military service, as some sup
pose; nor is it a matter of routine drills,
as others think. 1t is n training in the
exercise of the intelligence on problems
of interest and Importance. And, wholly
apart from its physical and intellectual
value. it gives a training in the sense of
public obligation. One of the worst evils
of the present day is the tendency to
exaggerate our claims against society
and TO underrate our duties and Obliga-
tons toward society. We think of the
government as something of which We
can make use, rather than something
which has the right to make use of us.
