On motion of Thomas j. Kelley the
selectmen were appointed a commit
tee to cause the high school grounds
to be graded and concrete walks to

The Minute-Men Myth.

We have all been taught in our
sehood histories that the minute-men
OF Lexington and Concord performed
prodigies OF va1or. Emotionally we
are convinced that all an American
citizen need do Is to take down his
gun and shoot the presumptious in
vader of our shores
Let us examine the historical truth
that underiies this myth. What. as a
matter of fact, were the minute-me
OF the Revolution? They were eiti-
zens at large whom the Provincial
Congresses and the Committees of
Safety Of 177t instructed to keep their
powder -hnrns filled and hold them
selves in readiness to shoot Britishers.
They had no military drill. and no
practice except in shooting Indians and
small game. They went down to de-
feat after defeat. they were chronical-
ly under-supplied with ammunition,
they were hal diy more than an armed
abble, until men like Lafayette and
De Kalb took them in hand and until
untold and unnecessary hardships
turned them Into seasoned troops.
They came well within the modern
definition Of snipers and franctireurs.
A modern army OF invasion would give
short shrift to such roadside amateurs.
