TRAINING FOR ALL
IN NEW MEASURE
Senate Committee Draft for
Army Reorganization Called
Preparedness.
By Briggs

Preparedness without miiitarism"
is the idea behind the Senate army
reorganization bill members of the
subcommittee which drew II explained
today with work finished on the
measure. An army of 2s0,oOo men
and $4,000 officers. and a reserve of
100000 men. is provided for.
Economy also guided the trainers of
the bill, they said. They had in mind
likewise, they declared, making the
army one of the greatest American
izing influences in the country. and
to this end have provided for the
teaching of the English language and
elements of Americanism to young
men of foreign parentage who come
nder the universal training pro-
visions.
The bill dlscioses sharp differences
of opinion between the Senate Com
mittee and the War Department No
where is this more apparent than
with respect to the national guard.
The Senate bill is designed, its au-
thors said to put the guard upon a
higher and more effective plane than
ever before. and to preserve its in
dividuality and its usefulness. For
this reason tho bill provides that
young men may choose whether they
will take their training in the national
guard or in Federal camps. The ma
tional guard training must be the
equivalent of the Federal training,
and can only be chosen in places
where the guard has facilities to give
adequate instruction.

day shows the increasing need OF a
retirement law for the proper pro-
lection of the teacher at the end
of her period of efficient service.
Such q law would relieve some
strain and worry before the retire.
ment point is reached.
Retirement Law Would
he Valuable Factor.
In the face of a nationwide
shortage of teachers, and in the
face of constant serious loss by
resignation or otherwise, a retire
ment law would prove an added
OF the general efficiency of our own
system. 1t would help to hold
worthwhile teachers in the system.
Retirement laws are now In force
in many States and in many COM
munities and bid fair soon to be
universal.
As I have stated In q recent re-
port. "T'he teacher OF long years OF
service, much of IL mt slight nnnn-
cial rccompense, who feels the
weight OF years and Of work press
ing heavily upon her. ought to be
able to step aside with rccoGnition
ON the part OF the public OF the
value OF the work she has done to-
ward shaping and influencing the
lives of the children who are to be
the citizens of tomorrow
Certainly 1T is to the advantage
of the schools from every angle
that protection should be furnish
ed. II is earnestly hoped, therefore,
that the retirement bill which has
already passed one House .. Con-
gress may soon become a l"r.
