urgcs NIiiitnrx Training.

CAMP LEWIS, March 2.-'We
cannot establish military training in
our schools any too quickly" declares
Brig.-Gen. Styer, who was a member
of commission appointed just be-
fore the war to decide the best meth
cd of introducing the training in New
Jersey schools. He is an ardent ad-
vocate of the plan
"The training is not only of value
to the boy through Strengthening his
back and makes him fit material for
any army, but because it also instills
ideas of discipline and subordination
to constituted authority that young
America is prone to lack he con-
tinued.
1--WE would have had better mate
rial for on-commissioned officers in
the army if We had such training in
the past. What is of greater import
ance, we would have had more men
in the national guard units and there
fore more men ready for service"
General Styer, however, believes
this training should be confined to
boys of high school age. Prior to
the declaration of war, Styer was in
spector general of the New Jersey
National Guard.

BLIND MEN ARE EMPLOYED.
Interesting Experiment Being Carried
Out at Arrow Mop Company.

GREENFIELD. Sept. l3.-Through the
cooperation of the local federal employ
ment office, the Massachusetts commits
sion for the blind and the Arrow Mop
company of this town. an interesting ex-
pertinent is being tried out. that of EN-
ploying men formerly dependent upon the
state. at useful labor The men selected
for the test are not totally blind. but
have eye sight defectfve'to aIdegree which
units them for ordinary labor. One man
has been at work for the past 10 days,
another started in Monday morning. and
the company is so well satisfied with the
work of the former. that it has engaged
four more to come from Boston within
q few days.
The work upon which these men are
engaged is that of binding yarn mops
upon the handles by which they are used.
For the lighter work of binding dish mops
girls are employed, but similar work on
the large size mops is too heavy for them.
1t is done with excellent results by the
| partially blind men. who are very glad
of this opportunity to earn a livelihood
The experiment has double value. since
ii opens up way by which the state may
be relieved of the care of such men. Ia
