MILITARY EDUCATION.

4 ENERAL w. w. ATTERBURY. Of the Penn
yivanla railroad, who director general of rail-
roads with the American Expedition in France returned
to an old subject with admirable drecess and force in
an address he made at reception held in his honor al
Philadelphia when he sounded warning against the SNUG
complaeency of the per-war period in this country Cen
eral Atterby said that with the single exception Of the
work of General Leonard Wood who aroused the men
OF the country to prepare themselves to become officers
there was not thing done prepare the country for the
ordeal through which it about to pass The country
he continued presented shameful exhibition Of neG;.
cheney at the outbreak of the war.
Even those who know enough about the American peonl.
as whole to realize that all our shortcomings at that Gnu
cal point in history were NATURAL and to understand
that the responsibility must be distributed as widely as III.
nefcieney distributed will agree that this is the era
truth Our unpreparedness result of lack of vision
which was and still IS deep reproach upon our politicians
and the American press. There are of course ayanety
of reasons for this but will do no good to state them
now he important question is are we going to prof,
by our passage through the frey furnace of the war in
Europe, or are going to lapse back into our forme,
slotha
That is what makes the issue raised by General After
bury important He was not scoldms about past deicen-
ces ne was trying to make those who were within his reach
realize that this nation ought keep up on its toes in the
matter OF national defense and the thing that makes his
remarks important that the War department and congress
must soon grappe with the problem of permanent defense
program for this country Unless we are hopelessy in
different to the instinct of self preservation we must never
again be nearly powere defend ourselves as we were
two ago when the mad men at Berlin forced us into
war which had been trying to keep out of until mos;
OF the world msinerpretng motives held us in con-
tempt World wide limitation of armament may hold us
to comparatively small military establishment but we
ought to ot that at all times there are enough men ii
the country with understanding of the military sciences
tc enable US to put armies Commensurate with our
in the field faster than any other nation
To do this there will have to be complete reorganiza-
tonsof the system of military edcuaton in this country
West Point for many years perhaps the worlds fore
most institution Of all around military education but there
now large doubt that seceable factor in
the training of officers for large armies Economically rails
ed and organized The system at West Point of course
might be changed but in that event it is too small
we need is extension of high grade military .u-
cation all the institutions Of higher learning in the country.
In such scheme West Point might be tuned into sor,
of post graduate college military high school.
