.GEDERAL NASH ON
military TRAINING
HE AsSERTc THAT ALL BOYS
SHOULD eE TAUGHT PHYS
iChL Culture.

On account Il ;he opposition that
has arisen in certain quarters to
military training in the high schools
Iof the state. Adj. Gen. ]. Van Holt
Nash has written letter in which
he sets forth his reasons why mill
tary training wo.Id be valuable, not
only from the s;ai,dpoint of the state,
but that of the etedent as well.
General Na1h thinks that military
training in the schools, in it's true
application. does not mean the prep
aration 10 fight anybody, but a pro-
gressive standardized system of
physical development which will de-
velop not only the body but the mind
as well. He advocates the Swiss sys-
tenn as that most generally favored
in this country.
Physical training in many institu-
tions of learning, he declares, is I'M
fortunately concentrated upon de-
veloping few Of the most hearty in
to football stars, while the majority
of the student body needing it are
neglected. a pr gressiye standardiz-
ed system Ct physical training for all
alike is Wh~t is sought and most
needed
The most frequent criticism of the
American boy says General Nash, is
that he seems 10 Task sense of re-
sponsibility or loyalty to anything or
anybody beyond themselves. A spirit
of devotion to his country is the fin
est spirit which a boy can acquire.
The military spirit, which means a
Willingness to serve and fight for his
country in tine of need, is as fine
and unselfish sentiment as can be
devised, ana it cannot be too early
instilled into the youthful mind.
There is really no need to use the
word military" in connection with
this training, IS it seems to offend
some, and the training can be ac-
complished without any military par
Laphernalia or equipment up to the
age of 1G years, at which age a boy
should be given rifle and taught its
proper use.

Message of a RanIsnote.

Writing on a banknote once freed
an English slave. The note came into
the hands of a Liverpool merchants
cashier. He examined it, noticed some
red. marks on the back and by the Law
tsh use of time and ingenuity deci-
phered the message. It ran: "If this
note should fall into the hands of John
Dean of Longhill, near Carlisle, he
will learn thereby that his brother is
languishing a prisoner in Algiers.' .
John Dean was found, and he applied
to the government and interested the
prime minister, who stirred the for
eign secretary into action. Inquiries
were made, and the dey, by golden ar
guments, was persuaded to release him.
For eleven years he had been a galley
slave, and he had written the message
in blood with a splinter of wood. His
release came in time to allow him to
die at home.-London Telegraph

origin OF the name "Mo0sejaw''l as ap-
Piled to q town Ia Canada. Some fifty
years ago, SO the story runs, a pioneer
with his team Of oxen and prairie
schooner" passing along the banks of
the river, was obliged to camp at this
point in Saskatchewan on account of
an accident to his cart
A spoke had fallen out during the
day, and the wheel was falling apart
He looked about for something to in
sert for a temporary brace for the
wheel, while his wife busted herself
with the evening meal
The pioneers child, while romping
around, found the jawbone of a moose,
which she held up to her father, who
by this time almost despaired Of find
ing anything with which to repair his
cart He was delighted to find that
the jawbone exactly fitted the place Of
the missing spoke. The Indians there
after named this district the t'PIace
