(From the Spokane Spokesman
RevieW.)
With a population of only A.
100000 the little Swiss republic has
a non-militaristic system of national
defense that commands the respect
and admiration of the world. If men
aced by invasion (the Swiss constitu-
ton prohibits wars of aggression) the
republic can call 100000 trained men
to the colors in two days, and in a
week 100000 more.
$50 many illusions are made to
this excellent SYSTEM" said DR.: Hen
ry Ferguson in recent public ad-
dress which has just been published
by DR.. Drury, rector of st. Paul's
school for boys at Concord, N. H.,
that it is we'll to understand ex-
plicitly what that system is. It is
as simple as it is admirable, COM
bining the earliest training with the
rudiments of elementary compulsory
education, and keeping the adult cit
izen in readiness for service without
serious burden.
Every schoolboy is taught that
his country has a claim upon his
services in her defense, and is care
fully trained by athletic exercises,
approved of and directed by the gov
eminent, that fit him to use his
growing strength to the greatest ad-
vantage.
Athletic Training in Schools.
"These exercises are not of the
nature of military drill, but fur
nish a progressive training, begin
ming when the boys are quite young,
and continuing through their school
life. They not only lead to a SYM
metrical and careful development OF
the individuals, but also accustom
the children to the common action,
under skilled direction, fitting them
to fall in readily with the later tech
nical military instruction when the
time shall come for it.
''The great value of this training
of the children by the government is
that it co-ordinates the school with
the subsequent camps Of instruction,
so that all public energies are di-
rected to a common advantage.
when the boys become young
men, rifle shooting is most carefully
encouraged, and clubs, societies and
associations formed to practice this
most useful accomplishment. Prizes
are offered by the federal govern
ment, by the various cantons (corre-
spending to our state governments) j,
by the municipalities and the COM
munes, and the young Swiss is taught,
as our ancestors were in colonial
days, to shoot straight, to speak the
truth and to keep his body under
subsection.
Become Recruits at Twenty.
"Once in every year the men of
20 years of age are called upon by
their several cantons to meet in
central place in each canton and take
a series of tests with the object of
ascertaining whether they are phys
ically and mentally able to serve

her own citizen soldiers.
Ideals Before Swiss Youth.
"Oficers1 are made through merit,
and are. given special courses and
retained in active service for longer
periods. The law permits no SOL
der to decline promotion with its
added responsibilities in either the
commissioned or non-commissioned
grades!
EVERY soldier is insured against
sickness, accident or death by the
government, while under instruc-
tions, or while engaged in any mill
tary duty.
''The great merit of the SYSTEM, -
DR.. Ferguson then adds, ''lies in the
very general extent of the training,
| with the minimum of interruption to
the domestice life and individual af-
fairs Of the men who are trained, and
above all, in the ideal, which is con-
stantly held2up. before every normal
Swiss boy, that the defense of his
country is a matter of his own i'm
mediate concern, that his country
needs and claims not only his love
and devotion and his pride, but also
his personal bodily service"
But the great law of compensation
enters in: The nation requires SER
| vice and devotion, but it gives rugged
benefits in return-improved phys
! ique, knowledge of:the laws of health,
invigorated health, discipline. and

The meeting was of more than usual

more in Putnam will be made voters
this year, Women who have been
preparing to be placed on the voters
list seem to feel as though they had
entered upon great adventure, and
those who have already registered are
telling their eXpe riences with surprise
and pleasure. Many women have been
under the impression that in entering
politics, even 10 vote on the school
question, they were about TO encounter
some new species of human being, the
politicians. They scarcely seem 10
realize that politicians were men and
American men and that they would
receive from them courtesy and help

show TO women whether in pOliticls or
in church or theatre. There is nothing

and their next question naturally is
why, if they go TO the polls at all and
undergo practically the full ordeal OF
getting there and voting, they should
not be permitted 10 vote on all the
questions under consideration.
