The Military Training
of Swiss Boys

Switzerland, like Australia
realizes the value of youthful train
ing, with the result that courses OF
gymnastics and calisthenlcs ara
given in the public schools for boys
from the ages of ten to sixteen.
At the latter age, the Swiss boy IS
REQUIRED by law to continue his
gymnastics and to start musketry.
Little stimulation is needed in this
respect, since rifle shooting has be-
come a national sport in Swltzer-
land, and almost every boy is a
member of a rifle club, all of which
clubs are under government aus
pices.
AT the age of twenty the boy
becomes enrolled in the first line
army called the "clite," in which
he remains until his thirty-second
year, inclusive. At thirty-three
he passes into the second line, or
"Landwehr," remaining until the
end of his forty-fourth year. The
third line consists of all other able
bodied males between the ages of
seventeen and fifty
Upon reporting for duty the
Swiss recruit is provided with a
uniform, equipment, and rifle, all OF
which remain in his custoy and
must be cared for by him until the
termination of his military service.
The recruits are given military IL
struction in recruit schools, follow
ed by periods of training amounting
to sixty-fve days for the infantry,
engineers, and foot artillery; seven
ty. five days for the field artillery;
and ninety days for the cavalry.
The subsequent training, known as
repetition courses" varies from
seven to fourteen days each year.
All soldiers under the rank of
sergeant are excused from schooling
after having attended seven "re-
potion courses or eight in the
case of cavalry. Sergeants and
noncommissioned officers are, how
ever, required to serve ten "repet-
ton courses " In the case of the
"Landwehr" repetition course
for all the different arms is given
for eleven days. but only on every
fourth year. All training takes
place in the field and on the target
range.
The predominant features of the
Swiss system are the commence
ment of work in the public schools,
and the university of the service
exacted, from all males physically
capable of bearing arms. Another
notable feature of the Swiss system
is the requirement that every man
exempted for any reason from Mill
tary service shall pay special tax
for national defence, the amount
being proportional to his income
or wealth From 1.-The Swiss and
Australian Military Systems, by
Frederick L. Huideknr"r. in the
American Review of Reviews for
April, 1916.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There IS
only one way to cure deafness, and that IS
by constitutional remedies. DEAFNESS Is
caused bv an iniiamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is intlaned you have rumbnS
sound or imperfect hearing, and wnen IL .
entirely closed, Dea fncss is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing Will be destroyed forever; min"
eases ont of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an iniamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

President Wilson said he was remind

intellectual debt which this country
