Military Traiming
 Measure Claiming

6F7HE universal training and service U measure which has been urged by army officers ever since the United States began to strengthen its de- fense equipment is now winning favor among prominent civilians. It is strongly indorsed by many men in public life, known as lovers of peace, but known also as advocates of pre- uaredness; such men as ex-President , Taft, ex-Secretary of War Root and scores of other typical Americans.
 The Chamberlain bill, which pro- vides for universal training, was not pushed in the last session of the Six ty-fourth Congress because of the ad- ninistration's crowded legislative programme, but it will be pressed no doubt early in the extra session of the new Congress. If President Will son comes out as ardently for it as he did for his preparedness pro- rramme two years ago it will pass by . big majority.
 Among congressman who approve the principle of universal training there will be differences of opinion as to details, especially regarding the length of time young men shall be in training with the colors and the length of time they shall be enrolled in the reserve corps. General officers of the regular army insist that six months of training, which had beer proposed by Senator Chamberlain would not be enough. Nothing less than year, they contend, would make the system worth while.
 A campaign of education in favor of universal service similar to that which made national defense prepar- edness one of the most popular poli- cies of the government, is now ir progress.
 Bascom Little, chairman of the na tional defense committee, said at z luncheon given by the Merchants as sociation of New York Tuesday tha in travelling through the south an( west for the purpose of feeling "th' pulse of the people" on universa training he found only one state op posed to it and that was Alabama.
 MT. Little's canvass was probabl. made hastily. At any rate it is saf' to assume that the people he inter viewed had not given the question mature consideration. No effort ha' been made in Alabama to crystalliz'

A Doer, Not n Saver

The pacifists are not always the men who are afraid to fight" said Commis- sioner J. D. Truss. Tt will be recalled that William Jennings Bryan served in the Spanish-American war as a colonel. Dr Jenkin Lloyd Jones saw three years service in the United States artillery In fact, quite number of the international figures who advocate peace at any price have been quite active.
 "Of course, I am not pacfist, but sometimes they are to be admired. The other night in a picture show the Amer ican flag was thrown upon the screen. Nearly everybody applauded One of those who gave expression to his pa triotic feeling by clapping his hands to- gether turned to the man next to him, who did not demonstrate, and asked: Why don't you applaud when the flag is shown? Havens you any patriotsmY ?
 ITO this the man responded pertly: Why don't you join the army like I have?, This was lndeed blow to the inquisitive man."

ROWING BOYS THE WORST.
OF All the Dclinquents He is the Hard
est to Handle.

OF the four classes OF delinquent boys
with which educators have to deal. Miss
Olive NJ Jones. President Of the Asso-
citation Of Workers Among Delinquent
Children, declares that the rowing boy is
the worst She puts in the first class
the merely naughty boy" who needs
firm control and training; in the second
and largest class, the sullen, obstinate,
abnomally sensitive, neglected, misunder-
stood and mismanaged' boys; in the third
class the smallest, the boys with criminal
tendencies; and in the fourth class the
confirmed wanderer, who, in the country
where he can wander without danger of
cnconterlng evil companions, is not such
a problem but who in the city street Is
the cause of most of the worries of those
who handle difficult boys.
1t is believed by romantic persons that
these boys shun school and wander about
in search of buried treasure, Indians sol
dicrs Of the enemy and other adventurous
| figures Of whom they have learned in
their reading. But Miss Jones. who has
been dealing with them for good many
years seems to believe that more than
| likely the boy has something the matter
with his teeth, eyes or nose which makes
him restless and uncomfortable IN school
And the authorities sometimes lind great
difficulty in correcting these defects. For
instance, Miss Jones says she has found
that many parents object to glasses, and
that her school boys are fitted and pro-
vided with glasses which arc distributed
to them in the morning and held over
night by the teacher Special prizes arc

awarded to boys who keep their glasses
on while studying.
But it is doubtful if the cold deduc-
tions Of teacher of difficult" boys will
make rowing any less attractive to the
boys. 1t should, however. make the par
ents of rowing boys less lcnient. There
is grave danger that boy 50 afflicted viii
fall in with older men who spend their
lives rowing And while it is easy to
show that in their youth many creative
artists were rovers, it should he rcmem-
bcred that it is by no means unlikely tina:
the practice makes more hoboes than Ia
nous painters, musicians, or authors. But
it is most important to remember that
perhaps the rowing boy stands more in
need of attention of a dentist or oculist
than of the birch rod, which in many
cases only makes him worse.-Indianapolis
