MILITARY TRAINING
IN THE SCHOOLS.

The proposal of State Superlntend.
ent Of Public instruction J. L. Bray
to introduce military training in the
schools of the state brings home a
question which has agitated a number
OF the eastern states for some time.
One of the New York newspapers,
moved by the introduction of bill In
the state legislature authorizing mill
tary training in high schools, decided
TO find out what the persons most in.
terested-the parents of the students
thought about it The editor sent
out 10000 post cards asking for their
opinion.
Four parents out of every five voted
for the military training. Here are
some incidental comments, showing
the viewpoint of those favorlng the
measure:
"Sure-of course-why not?"
Il believe in peace preparedness"
Military training arouses the pa
triotism of the boys"
Excellent for physical and mental
development"
Some OF the minority parents wrote
mo. because want my boy to be
come a man, not a slave"
No, because preparation for war is
not preparation against war.
Il should not trust any politician
with military machine"
Our children are studying fol
peace. not to be brutal soldiers"
"They don't get enough elementary
training as 1t is"
The comments pro and con are
about the same as those set fortl
more deliberately and logically by lead
ers Of thought throughout the country
The main point of interest is the pro
nounced majority in favor of military
training for boys as part of our shoe
system. The New York vote IS almost
identical in results with similar pol
taken recently in Chicago. Severa
smaller cities have had about the sam,
experience, though the favorable per
centage in some cases Is less. II seems
quite possible that the nation as
whole would vote for such instruction
Many eminent physicians and educa
tors themselves in favor of elementar,
military training for the sake of tn
physical development 1t gives and tn
good habits 1t encourages. There ar
men and women in all professions an,
in all ranks of life who look to mil
tary drill as the possible salvation O
a generation of boys who reed dis
cipline.
All this shows an astonishing about
face in American opinion. Two year
ago such proposal would have beel
Indignantly repudlated In almost an
American community.

through the United States that this
country was only beginning to feel the
prosperity that is coming to it as a
result Of the European war. He ex-
poets the struggle to last for five or
ten years, and TO be decided by at
triton rather than by ground won.
He said:
1T has rather surprised ME that so
many Americans believe tina. the war
will be over in year or two at most,
and that then this country may be the
dumping ground for European manu-
facturers. l can assure you that that
feeling is not held abroad. particularly
in Great Britain.
THE greatest trouble that the Unit
ed States will have is in over pros
perity. l am thoroughly familiar with
this country, and each year travel
10000 or 10000 miles here, and there
is no question that you are now en-
joying prosperity. Great as it is. 1t is
nothing to what you will have in the
years that will elapse before the war
ends. And l say that the greatest
trouble the United States will face is
over-prosperity. This would naturally
manifest itself in possible internal
strife, for, unless the nation is a unit
in taking advantage of this oppor-
tunity. 1t will lose much of its pos.
