cial Telegram = Representative An
drews nominated for a cadetship at
West Point today Harold S. Could,
son of S. A. Gould of Alma, Neb.
Congressman Andrews in letter
to Secretary Baker said that the
youth OF the land had a just esi-
mate of what was required of those
who sought entrance to West Point,
and was convinced that too much
was exacted in the manner in which
questions were answered than in the
correctness OF the answers This. he
thought, was at least one reason why
young men were loath to enter upon

take their chances in any one OF the
professions. ... l..
Mr.. Andrews suggested that it
might be well for the academic
board at West Point to take cogni-
zance OF the present situations.

special interests of pushing the bill.
1t was at this junction that Gone
