ferred 10 as the "GIbraltar of the Hud-
son."
Here, In a magnificent site of some
a500 acres, is set down the United
States Military academy-our nat
ional institution for the training OF
cadets for commissions In the army.
A resolution OF the Congress OF 1770
provided for the preparation of plan
for "a Military Academy Of the
Army" General George Washington
personally interested himself In the
movement
The original buildings were burned
In 17g8 but were rebuilt and the ac-
tual creation OF the academy as known
today took place m 1902.
AZ various times after 1775 this
strategic location was fortified and at
the cboss Of the Revolutionary war
West Point was selected az depot
for ffse storage OF military property.
The majority of the commanding
generals ON both aides OF the Civil war
were graduates Of this academy.
This fact brought the Importance OF
the Institution so prominently before
the world that It's methods were care
fully studied by experts OF practically
every nation OF prominence In tho
whole world.
The course Of instruction covers
three ycars and constitutes the most
complete military training In existence.

Six horses, two each belonging

standing on the ledge along the
stone quarry. The crusher had
been moved less than so feet when
the drivers of the teams noticed
