Tribute TO Mercersburg.

American Education for
November contains a lengthy
article profusely illustrated on
DR.. Irvine and Mercersburg
Academy. During the period
that DR.. Irvine has been at
Mercersburg. about a quarter of
a century, 1868 boys have at
tended the school. They have
come from every state in the
Union and from eig h tie e n
foreign countries and have gone
out into 102 colleges and uni
versities. 1t is a great tribute
to Mercersburg and. a most de-
serving one especially to tn e
man behind the gun.

Making Over the Army.

War Department officials are
hard at work on plans for es-
tablishing the army on a peace
basis. 1t is presumed tn a t
legislation will be asked this
winter, but it is not at all GER
tain that it can be secured by
reason of the great amount of
business which must be caowded
into the short session of three
months.
Until peace is officially de-
clared we shall have an abund-
ance of troops, but on that day,
without new legislation,
automatically there will be dis
charged all but a n estimated
100000 of regulars whose en-
listment terms will not have ex-
pired. 1t is presumed that there
will be many who will want to
continue in the service provided
the present pay and emoluments
are continued, but that is un-
certain.
A proposal which is gaining
ground is one for the universal
training of young men in their
twentieth year. For this pur-
pose all the machinery is now
available and the cantonments
and equipment are on hand.
Under ordinary circumstances
this proposition would arouse
great objection, but the plan is
to furnish academic, technical
and vocational instruction along
with military exercises, so that
the actual result would be to
give the young men a year Of
education for nothing.
All are convinced that SER
vice in the army has been Of
vast benefit to all young men
who are worth anything at all.
They have learned habits of dis
cipline. obedience and concen-
tration which will be invaluable.
They have been prepared for
success in life in a manner which
could not otherwise have been
achieved. This is so well known
that the proposal to provide for
universal training and education
has aroused little opposition.
This scheme would give the
country plenty of troops for any
possible emergency and would
not be a step toward militarism
as many suppose. 1t is our evil
dent duty to make use of all the
lessons learned in this war. The
plan proposed would necessitate
the retention of a great many
officers, especially young men
who have found the service
agreeable. Philadelphia In
