r Which brings us to Prof. +. W.
Roman, professor in economics Of
Syracuse Univ, who was one Of the
speakers yesterday.
''YOu working men must see to it
that your children get high school
education" Prof Roman said. you
are injuring the cause Of labor when
you do not secure for your children
the best education you can obtain for
them.
ITO give them the best education
you must have schools free to tell
the truth. If you really want this
sort of freedom in the, schools you
will first have to free the teachers:
'The teachers in the public schools
today are confined to teaching
strictly knowledge reading, writ
ing, arithmetic and such mental abb
stractions. Such things are neces-
sary to be taught, but we should not
be so limited in our curriculum.
Your children should be taught
about taxation, wages, rents, the
issues of political and social life, in
diligently and unbiased. You can
not have this until the teachers are
free, and the teachers cannot become
free until you free them.
Criticism has been made of uni
versities being controlled by big in
terests know there is just grounds
for this charge, but the interests
have a much tighter grip on the pub
lie schools than they have on the
universities
Prof. Roman again said as he has.
already said before business and
commercial men of Chicago that the
advent of military training in the
schools means the sitting of initia-
tive action and the stunning of in
vention.

10. The Army System Of Training
Close order formations are seldom
used in actual fighting: nevertheless,
they should be thoroughly mastered.
They have been worked out during
centuries of experience as the best
means of training men in soldierly
habits of thought and action. They
teach precision, teamwork, and that
prompt and unhesitat.ng Obedience
which is so necessary to molitary con-
tro,. The fact you ana your com
RAIDS are thoroughly drilled will be
your best protection in the hour OF
battle 1t Will give every man con
fidence in himself and in his COM
RAIDS and will insure steadtastness IN
the face of the enemy.
However. close order drill Will not
yield these results--it will be worse
than useless-unless it is learned
thoroughly and practiced with snap
and precision. You must drill, drill,
drill. It is one of the most essential
steps in your training. Enter these
drills with enthus asm Try TO make
a distinct improvement every day.
Grades of Close order Drill.
There are four sections of grades
of o1ese- order drill, which are called
school of the soldier. school of the
squad. school of the company. school
of the battalion. The wordk'school'
as here used, means fixed method
of training.
First of all, you will get the train

soldier" This training is in turn diVi-
ded into two parts: Instructor with
out arms and the manual of Arms.
The very first thing you will learn
is the position of the soldier, Whlch
has already been explained in lesson
then you will be shown, among
other things. how to face to the right
or left or about in a soldierly manner,
how to salute properly and how to
march.
The Manual of Army takes you
step further. 1t teaches YOU how to
handle your rifle properly 1t does

ing or in bayonet combat

YOU will, learn to keep your correct
place in ranks to stack and take arms
and TO march as a squad. The school
of the squad also includes some prac-
tice in extended d-order drill.
The school Of the company carries
YOU still further in your training. In
the close-drill you will be taught 20

execute number OF simple but very
important movements. Most Of these
movements are by squads that is to
say they simply apply to number or
of SQUADS working together, the same

The school OF the battalion in turn
applies on a somewhat larger scale the
