OUR MILITARY ACADEMY.
West Point, Where Uncle Sans Army
OHieers Are Made.

OmSof1 Ap0 Maoos
It was In 1902 that congress estab-
Hshed the United States Military acad-
envy. the training school for officers, at
West Point, On the banks Of the Hud-
son, fifty-two miles north Of New York
city
md training young men in the theory
and practice Of military science, to At
them Tor duty AZ officers OF the United
States army, was not established until
after Washington's death. he was In q
way the real founder. In 1913 and again
In 1875 he urged upon congress the
necessity Of such an institution The
Continental congress as early as 1776
had also suggested the desirability Of
- military school for the army"
Authorized in 1902. the Military acad-
envy was opened on the Fourth Of July
with q class Of ten cadets. Prior to
that time a number Of students had
been enrolled at the forts at West
Point, where corps Of artillerymen
and engineers was stationed and infor-
NAL instruction had been given In the
arts Of war.
The first decade Of the academy's ex-
istence was marked by many vicissi-
tudes. Although congress had created
the institution, the lawmakers appar-
emily soon forgot all about 1t, and.
lacking sufficient funds for its proper
conduct, the academy authorities were
hard pressed to keep 1t alive. At one
time the school was without a single
instructor. In its first ten years only
seventy five students graduated.
In 1912 President Madison brought
about reorganization of West Point
Soon $50 students were enrolled, and
the institution began to assume some
thing Of its present form It was not
until 1917. however. that West Point
began to receive serious consideration
In the military world. Colonel Sylvia
nus Thayer. who has been called 1.-THE
Father of West Point" was appointed
to command. and 1t was he who intro
duced the uniform. the organization
and rules of study. Under his control
the academy gained prestige and re
nown. In 1898. when he resigned the
command. West Point had won the re
spect OF the military men of Europe
and was counted among the worlds
most famous institutions Of its kind
Exchange.
