Moral and Physical Benefits Derived
from Training Already Evident =
Uniforms Not Yet Arrived on Ac-
count of Unusual Demand.

\ long cherished plan has at last been
realized in the formation of a military
company among the boys Of ST
Michael s Parochial school. Owing to
the Kindness and earnest work Of
Thomas Kelly, I. S. A.. seconded by the
cooperation Of Rev. j. p. Rand and his
assistant, Rev. Father Mcmahon, the
Sanctuary and Holy Name boys are be-
ing carefully drilled and equipped with
uniforms, rifles, drums, bugles, swords
ana all the nccdfu regalia Of regular
military company.
The moral and physical benefits de-
rived from this training are even now
evident, notwithstanding the short time
in which they have been drilling. This
training is not simply to benefit the
bows during school days, but for life,
as il disciplincs them to promptness III
the execution of orders, self command,
self reliance and consideration for 9th
crs. all OF which qualities help TO form
manly upright characters, besides tho
physical benefits derived thcrcfroln. 1t
is to bc hoped that the parents VIII an
.prcciatc the efforts made to raise the
bows to higher standard ty this m1!l-
tarv training and viii cooperate with
those interested in the work in order
to make the military company credit
to The town and school
T. IT. Michael's Military company viii
appear as such, for tho first time pub
liclr, in the parade on Memorial day.
The company is still small as quality
and not quantity is always to be con
sidcrcd in such an organization. Ser
geant Kelly deserves great credit FOR
the work he has done with the boys ii
SO short q time. and ii is 90 he hoped
that in the Near future the ranks Oh
the company will BE -welled by good
clean, manly BOYS able to appreciate
. the advantage Of having such drill
master as MIR Ec!lv, whose q vcars OF
service i'm the United states army in
Alaska, the Philippines, Mexico and
f, elsewhere have made him an efficient
I trainer. IT has been a long needed
organization and now tAat tac company
is formed ii is hoped that al viii en-
. dearor to make K success from every
point OF view and company upol
. which the boys, whon grown to man
