TRAIN STUDENTS
IN MILITARISM
Make United States Nation
With Arms" Is Plea of
Leaders

The sentiment for preparedness,
which is slowly but irresistibly satur-
ating the minds of the citizens of this
country has inspired the active in
fluence of Secretary Franklin X. Lane
of the United States Interior Depart
ment and p. p. ClaXon, commissioner
of education, in urging volunteer
military training camps for High
school pupils and a general plan for
volunteer military organization and
drill in all high schools.
Robert NJ. Ginter, Washington staff
correspondent of the Pittsburgh
Gazette-Times, writes in detail of the
so-called Wyoming plan, drafted by
Lieut.. e. u. Steever of the United
States Army, which plan has been put
into effect in the high schools of that
State. The Wyoming plan is pointed
out as showing the idea of "a nation
with arms" as distinguished from "a
nation in arms; and military train
ing has been made a game rather
than disagreeable duty both there
and in the city of Washington, where
for years it has proved popular and
successful among High School stu
dents.
