Breaking ranks after the march from breakfast there are about 20 minutes before the aca- demlc bugle, for study or miscellane- ous duties. From eight to one o'clock. tor SIX days in the week, every cadet must he in quarters or at recitations. and the dinner bugIe at 1 o'clock is always exceedingly welcome. Follow.

With supper over, before call to quarters at 1850, there are about one hour and a quarter for various duties or for library study. or for visiting in quarters. and with taps at 10 D. m. all lights must be out. There are no locks on the barrack doors; but the night is guarded and sleep is both quiet and sweet. Through the winter season, when drill outdoors is im- practical, on" has an extra hour fol- lowing the recitation period at 1 D. m., in which he may go to the gymnasium or visit in quarters or do special studies or any duties desired. Every day of course has it's guard mount wherein a. squad of cadets are set as guards at the guard house and at the various doors of the bar

IaChn uuFlh8 the evening n0Or2
 "The two and a half months of summer camp on the plain are as oases in the course. Reveille Is sounded at 5:30 q. m. instead of 6:30 a. m., and while a cadet has much more time to himself than in barracks. he nevertheless has many drills and duties of a military nature 10 perform daily. Sometimes on . 0S or 100 degree day the cavalry or artillery drill will be called off lon account of the horses" but heat never called off drill on account of the cadets.
 "Thirty-five years ago the first football game was played between West Point and Annapolis No other athletic event was allowed to take cadets away from West Point Since then the privilege of playing away from the Point has been extended to baseball, wrestling, boxing, swim- ming. hockey, polo, golf. lacrosss tennis and track events; but even so, where Is intercollegiate games are played at West Point. only one is allowed away from home
 Tn late years the alumni. espe- cially those classes of over 20 years standing. have adopted the plan of holding class reunions at West Point on the even five years after gradu- ation. such as goth. 18th, goth, etc. The authorities are very ,hosp spitable 10 any and all alumni coming back at graduation time The cadet bar racks are opened to them and the cadet mess is at their service; more- over. a special review by the corps of Cadets is staged in their honor"

yeara Theories are always chang ing: but theory has always had small attention at West Point: truth, on the other hand, as expressed in all branches of mathematics. in engi- neering. in physics, in chemistry, in mineralogy, in astronomy, in history, in law. in language, etc. has inten- sivc attention. Recitation classes are generally limited to only about ten per class. Cadets therefore have much closer supervision of instruct ors than in the ordinary college, and one is not able to ''soldicr'' on Il single lesson without grave danger Under such grind the casualties are very heavy. Failure in a single sub icct will 'find' a cadet. that is, dis charge him from that class. In a few eases of failure. particularly where d cadet stands high in other studies the authorities will give turn back" privileges, whereby such cadets may join the class just below. This means a five year course for such cadets one year being duplicated. In the general run of classes, however, SO great is ,h" strain, only about ao per cent Of those who start with each ''pl"bc" class, graduate four years later.
 Then, as now, the cadets time is completely provided for, That is, during the academic season from september first 10 the second week in June. q cadet cannot claim more than q few minutes between duties as his own. Hair cuts, shoe shines and other toilet affairs, and all business with the commisSary, must be done in these few minutes. For instance,

wrote an interesting account of his experience which he has relea sed to the Harld for publication. It fol- lows:
 scenic Beauty Spot
 West Point on tho Hudson is con. ceded generally to be about the most charming beauty spot in the eastern part Of the United States. With the bend in the river which gives that wonderful open. far away view north towards Newburgh. and with the beautiful plain. flanked by noun tains. one could not choose a more fitting or lovely spot for tho nation to locate its chief army training col lege Hallowed. too. by its great im- portance far back in the Revolution ary war, where for nine months Washington had his headquarters. and which included the most drama tic incident of that war-the treason plot Of Benedict Arnold-its inspira- tion towards all that is patriotic is perfect.
 "The United States Military aca- demy at West Point is one of the outstanding institutions of the United States where equality among the stu dents is enforced to the last degree, This runs not only into uniformity ol clothing and food; but it appears also in the class rooms and in the military formations where favoritism for personal reasons or prestige, or for athletic prowess. or other causes has no standing at all. It Is seen also in the cash account of each cadet which is limited to the same figure for each. A cadet may not overdra W his account at the commissary. such that if . careless cadet (as frequent ly happens where the cadet was raised in affluent circles) wears out his uniforms faster than his brother cadets. he must appear in shabbier clothes than those cadets of more careful home training. Unlike simi- lar cases in other institutions of learning the moro careless cadet may not send home for more cash to help him out in his equipment. He I1u&L wear ms WVTn 1h's his cash account will warrant new ones The pay of cadet 36 years ago was s540 per year. This included no allowance for rations. Today, be- cause of tho higher cost of living, 1t is q ,072 per year, which includes an allowance of 50 cents . day for ra- tiona. Out of this must come every personal expense, such ~ clothing. food. dentistry. laundry. equipment. etc. Also such things as chairs. mat tre.scs. bed clothing. etc. and ! pro- portionate share Of light. policing of quarters. shoe blacks, baths. hospital. hops. literary society. etc. and dur ing the course each cadet is made to save ~ per month to go towards the officers equipment which he will need on graduation.

staff of 5e officers of the army. This was enough for one battalion and it easily ranked as the best all round military battalion of the world. To- day the institution has about 1,e5o l cadets with a staff of 259 officers of | the army. This calls for regiment of three battalions. The parade of the regiment. however. lacks some of the thrill of the battalion parade. For instance. in the battalion it was possible to secure a little exhibition ! in the manual of arms. which is not practical in the far flung regiment, i This always appealed strongly to visitors. for it was a rare sight to see 1 300 odd guns moving as one and striking the hand or the ground with single thud. Again, in those days of the battalion, it was the practice to pass the companies in review in double quick time. which was anoth- er rare sight done with such pre- cision. With the more ponderous regimental parade, these and other striking features have to give way. Of course the IS companies Of the present regiment, marching and maneuvering into line do make q more striking picture than the four companies of a battalion. It may he remarked that 35 years ago at the graduation parade the band played for feature, "The Girl l Left Be hind Me- This year the tender piece Home Sweet Home was added and was interspeneed with The Star Spangled Banner"

WEST POINT TALES
 TOLD BY BASSETTE
Local Man Traces Changes in
 Academy Over S5 Years

West Point, where the United States Military academy is located, where much of the romance of this country has been founded, and where hundreds of American young men fulfill life ambition. has not changed in many ways in 35 years except in its development
 This is the opinion of Buell. B. Rassette of Emmons plare, who re- gently attended | reunion of the class with which he was graduated 35 years ago. Mr. Bassctte has been q close follower of the activities Of his alma mater sincs he left its pro. 'ecting influence and he tells | very interesting story of its development, it's customs and innovations. It was about the time of his graduation 3s years ago that the first football game between West Point and Annapolis was played. At that time this was the only event which would allow the cadets away from West Point. but since that time the privilege of play ing away has been extended to other sports.
 Upon his return Mir. Bassette

BA1|k EXPERT WINS
 WIDE RECOGNITION
Hort Declared to Be Superior
 to All Others
(6pAciAl to the Herbld)

PlAinville, June l6-Mrs. Theona has come into prominence through her excellent batik work during the past few months, will achieve na- tional recognition next month when brief account of her career and achievements will be published in q New York periodical. The batiks Of the local woman are considered by New York dealers to be superior to those Of any other worker in that medium, and all are anxious to se- cure her mural hangings.
 The information printed below re- garding her career was gathered for the article which is soon to be pub tished.
 Mrs. Harris began her study as an lrtist when she was 15, at the Chi cago Art Institute. She was consld- cred to be one of the most promls- Ing students at that time. and the in- situte wished to send her abroad for further study. but her family though best that she should have the groundwork of regular college course and so sent her to Smith col lege.
 While there she elected art her freshman year but found it so en- thralling that it was easy to neglect other studies, so she dropped it her sophomore year. At the beginning of her junior year the president sent for her and offered her free tuition if she would continue her art study there.
 Mrs. Harris graduated from smith with the regular degree of B. A. in 1895 and the following year from the art school. at which time she was awarded the annual prize money for excellence Of work Tn painting. She stayed there one more year as post graduate in order to continue her work with Dwight w. Tryon. the well-known landscape ~.irter. who was then at the head
 @ ith college art school. At fs erz [ the year she was given rs st graduate prize for excel eGc es york.
 owing year she studied at t,a Students league in New .,,#- rting in the antique class, sz .ss promoted from class 10 ,,4sa living at the life class in srs aks, where she studied un- Er oray, Her work was always -Ag.s the five or six pieces Y~4s best at the monthly "con and toward the end of tho

 there she went to teach in
 lpton Mass, at the Capen
 goo where she remained until 4 ried.
 Recently, aside from her land scape painting. she has taken up the making of mural hangings in batik, an ancient process Of dyeing by which most artistic effects can be obtained. Tapestries in hatik are coming into great popularity In these days of fewer pictures and more wall hangings.
 At a recent exhibition Of Mrs, Harris work in New York, there was the greatest enthusiasm for both her painting and batik. many sales resulting, The decorators In New York declare themselves amazed that batik can be go beautiful. They say that In many instances it greatly resembles the old Gothic tapestries of France and the Flemish weav- inra, and that Mrs. Harris has de-

vcloped a technique in batik that surpasses any they have ever seen, and they are eager to handle her work in decorating the homes of their respective clicnteles.
