It is cause for satisfaction if the country, as political observers are begin ming to report, is cold toward professional soldiers as presidential candidates It would be amazing for a country like America in these times to accept as its chief magis- trate a man who had spent his whole ma ture life in the army. A military career as profession is very far from being train ing school for civil government and states manship. It is rather training school for a dictatorship. The best thing Gems. Persh- ing and Wood can now do is to kill each other off as possible candidates.

The urgent appeal made for funds to establish Ruskin College, the worlling-class college at Oxford, on a firm financial basis is not likely to remain unheeded. Among the signatories to the appeal-a significant evidence of the wide-flung sympathies it evokes-are MT. Balfour, MT. Clynes, Lord Robert Cecil, MT. Arthur Henderson, and Miss Macarthur. The college, which was founded twenty years ago, but has always been hampered by lack of funds, now de- sires to add a Woman's Hostel, that the same opportunities may be afforded the working women as are possessed by the working men. Perhaps upon nothing more than upon sound education, with its accom- panying discipline does the welfare of the labor movement depend, and therefore the support of RusHin College belongs not, to one class or party, but is the very vital con ce1n of all.-Ex.

Dr. Joseph e. Raycroft, head of ath-
letics at Princeton university. and a
member of the commission on training
camp activities, is the man who in
troduced boxing into the United States
army. Shortly after accepting a place
on the commission he visited the Ca
madam military headquarters at To-
ronto. There he became a thorough
convert to the idea that boxing should
have place in our military training.
He presented this belief to the thirty
men first called into the camps as phys
ical directors, at their initial meeting
at Princeton: Most of these men were
college coaches and heads of college
athletic departments, and they were
slow to be convinced tn aixobtng DIV
slow to be convinced that boxing was
what men needed. But they were will
ing to give it trial, and the results
obtained have completely indicated Dr.
Raycroft's position.
Boxing did not take hold so readily
among the men themselves. Many of
them were from sections of the coun-
try where the game had fallen into
disrepute, because of the questionable
methods of being pummelled or getting
a wallop on the nose. They could not
see how boxing would help them to
meet German bayonets. They wanted
guns.
But slowly the idea that an eff
cient soldier must not only be trained
in the technique of offense and de-
Tense. but must also be charged" with
lighting spirit, percolated down through
the ranks. Boxing became popular be-
cause 1t tested and trained courage.
At about the same time the bayonet
instructors from overseas realized that
many of the moves in bayonet work
were the same as those in boxing.
Some of the best known and cleverest
of the professional boxers were COM
missioned as instructors, and in a very
short time a school for boxing instruc-
tors was established at Camp Gordon.
In a number OF the camps boxing
was compulsory. In Camp Kearney,

the scene of battle, every fighting man
was compelled to box at least two
