complete model has been made of the pro-
posed school and outlying accessories. For the
College Of Military Research there will be one adj
minstration building TO ur large central buildings
respectively for records statistics and mechanical
and electrical laboratories; four smaller buildings
one for chemistry one for physics, and two for
lecture rooms; one library building, and village
of $50 separate houses for officers churches, club,
garage. Fairgrounds, and all necessary utilities.
In addition to these buildings and properly
grouped there are to be one academic building,
and two recitation buildings, auditorium,
museum, library laboratory and other Struc-
lures. Buildings corresponding in size and in
equipment and grouped so as to insure uniformity
coupled with beauty will be necessary for the
school directly connected with the vocational

Men who already have attended the school at
Camp Humphreys have spread it's fame an
educational institution. In the words of Col.
Richard Park of the corps of engineers who has
had this project at heart, and who worked daily
and nightly to perfect it in every detail:
at will be the function of the trade schools not
only to develop the skilled personnel needed for
military work. but also to insure every soldier
thorough training in some trade which will be u |
benefit to him after leaving the service. This will
attract much better school of recruits under the
volunteer system of training and will be an i'm

a system of universal military training"
No one knows how large force it will be neces-
sary for the United States to maintain for pur-
poses of defense and preparedness, but whether
the force be large small the evident intention Of
the government authorities is to see to it that men
who enter the service shall have an opportunity to
educate themselves along lines other than those
which are purely military.

eoNAR LAW AN IRON MERCHANT.

Mr.. Bonar Law, despite his name is not in the
long list of men who were in the legal profession
before taking up politics. He was Glasgow iron
merchant keen business man, and he estab-
lished his reputation at Westminster in a single
speech.
One of his most remarkable faculties is his gift
for memorizing. This applies particularly to fig
ures and he has COMPOUNDED many opponent
by correcting him. from memory, on some vital
point Of statistics. He can store more figures up
In his brain than the average man could write In
a notebook.
But perhaps his most valuable quality Is that
of sticking It," He has stuck to his job more
than once while suffering from personal sorrows
which would have bowed over less resolute men.
