Those in high schol3 should have cadet rifles, and the older and most advanced boys should be taught to shoot them, using the regimental rifle galleries where they can bo had.

This, of course, is the last step in the course of instruction. The drill of the armed organization will be the same as In a national guard regiment. The wooden guns cost from 50 to 75 centB each, and should be provided by the schools and kept there. If the rifles should be furnished by the state, they will doubtless be kept in the armories where the boys drill, so that they can be properly cared for. If they belong to the school, they should be kept In proper cases in a proper room.

Widespread interest has been manifested by the readers of the Eagle In the question of military drill In tho public schools. An addition to the subject from General George W. Wingate is subjoined. The general has briefly and concisely stated some suggestions for military instructions. Ho says: The adoption of military Instruction should be left to the option of the prlnci pals.

The matter Is as yet too new and the schools differ too much in their scholars to make It wise to do more than indicate generally what should he done. All principals who adopt, the system should be given a Di oaa discretion as to their methods. A few months' trial by those who favor the plan and whose hands are free to work it out as experience teaches them to be best, will develop a better system than one devised without this practical experience. This can then be officially adopted. The Instruction should consist of: (1) The setting up drill.

(2J Facing and salutes. (3) Marching by squads. (4) Manual of arms. (5) Regular drill by comapny and battalion. It is suggested that the boys who are drilled should first be carefully measured, to establish the extent of their physical Improvement.

All scholars, including girls, should be thoroughly drilled in the first three for fifteen minutes a day. In all marching, the keeping of proper distances between the scholars should be insisted upon. The system of calisthenics now in use in the Brooklyn public schools covers these points. But care should be taken by the teachers to see that the movements are performed with smartness and exactly as prescribed. Its value, both physical and mental, consists largely In snap and precision.

Every boy should be required to salute all teachers whenever meeting or addressing them, and the teachers should be equally careful to return the salutes. This is important as going far to create the feeling self respecting subordination to lawful authority, the development of which Is one of the main objects of military instruction. Floys over 11 and who are at least 4 feet inches tall and whoso parents do not object, should be drilled regularly in the manual of arms and by company and battalion two hours a week, outsids school hours, great care being taken not to overtax the strength of the boys. The time when these drills are to take nlace should be left to the different schools. Sometimes it may be arranged to have a short drill before the regular f.

chool hours or to have it at their opening. This will work off the superfluous energies natural to boys and make easier for the teachers to control them In their studies and recitations. The services of volunteer can also probably be better obtained then than at any other time. These last named drills should be regarded as a privilege. Xo boy who has not attained a prescribed degree of excellence in his studies and deportment should be permitted to belong to a school company.

If he falls below the standard or if he is guilty of falsehood (which should he treated as a heinous military offense), lack of neatness in person or of smartness in drilling, or disobedience to orders, he should bo dropped and whatever cadet insignia he wears, as cap, plate, buttons, etc. (which should belong to the school), should be taken from him. He should be required after regaining his former standard, to retain it for a month before being taken back into his company. During the drill prompt obedience should be insisted upon. Disobedience or infractions of discipline by officers or non commissioned offleers should cause the offender to be reduced to the ranks by the principal, after a proper investigation and hearing.

The discipline should be quiet, but firm. Everything possible should be done to inculcate a military bearing, which involves an upright carriage, neatness in dress, attention, silence and the utmost promptness in rendering strict obedience to all orders, whether from the instructors or the cadet officers. It should also be impressed upon the hoys that absolute truthfulness, a high regard for personal honor and an aversion to anything dishonest, or tyrannical are expected of the citizen soldier that they must be soldiers and gentlemen. The boys should be divided into companies not exceeding forty to fifty strong, as a larger number is difficult to handle. Each should have the usual number of officers and noncommissioned officers.

Tho officers and non commissioned officers of the companies and battalions should be selected from the boys displaying good scholarship, combined with proficiency in military alld manl5' bearing and characteristics. They may be either elected by the boys, subject to the approval of the instructor, ot lie may select as candidates for each position three boys combining these qualifications and submit their names to the hoys for election. The hoys so elected should receive a lormal appointment from the principal After having completed their terms of office tney should bo given warrants bv the hoard of education. These officers when elected should, in the first instance, be formed into a tquad and specially drilled in the evenings until they understand their duties sufflcient lv iheir successors will need but little special Instruction. The subject of instructors presents difficulties in those schools where tho.

teachers who are national guardsmen. Where these can be had they will naturally act as instructors. As proficiency increases much of the drill can be done by officers and non commissioned officers of the school battalion, under the supervision of teachers or of proper Instructors. (Abbreviated copies of the new drill regulations may he obtained of the Army and Xavv Journal, corner or Xassau and Fulton streets Xew ork city.) Properly, there should be paid instructors who will devote their time to the matter One of these can look after about six schools It is hoped that he services of army officers can be soon had for this mtrnose in lnrc r. cities.

Tf the drills can be had in the morning or in the evening it will be easy to procure sufficient volunteer instructors from the national guard. In the beginning the services of some of these can he had to drill the boys in the afternoons, but in large It will not be tiiBy to do and it cmnot be krpr up, as they arr occupied during business hours. The question of uniforms should be left to each school. While it is desirable, it may be safely left discretionary with the boys "and their parents. A cap alone is sufficient to be Rin with, and costs but little.

In most cases It will be found that, as a plain uniform costs no more than ordinary clothes and lasts much longer, as the boys take better care of it, parents will be willing to supply them. A white webbing waist belt and plate adds very materially to tho soldierly appearance where a dark blue blouse is used, and is inexpensive. Swords and belts for the officers should be provided by the authorities and belong to the The uniforms used In Brooklyn Grammar School Xo. 13 cost $fi, and the cap So fonts additional.

If uniforms are adopted, the buttons should be supplied by the school, together with the insignia on the cap. so that, in case of bad conduct these can be taken by the principal. Doubtless, in Xew York and other states, the stale will in time provide part, of the uniform ftpf the drilled school battalions, as it does for lie national guard But this is a matter for the future. Guns will not be needed until the boys are well set up. so that they carry themselves in a military manner, and have been thoroughly instructed in the school of the soldier.

There is plenty of time, and the drill should be thorough. It must, however, be remembered that hoys must be kept interested, and therefore the drills must not be rendered mo r.otonou: dwelling too long upon one subject. The course of instruction should progress, each grade in the school being taught a little more than the class below it.

533 FULTON ST, Ojjposito Elm Place. TREASURER COLVIN'S PLAN To Relieve the State Cash Box Prom Stringency. Albany, X.Y., December 20 State Treasurer Colvin has made certain novel propositions to Governor elect Morton for the incorporation in that part of the letter's message to the legislature relating to finances. The treasurer says that it is a notorious fact that the great state of Xcw York is at the close of each fiscal year compelled to borrow money at heavy rates of interest to pay certain petty indebtednesses, and that the treasury is always in a straightened condition. He believes this a false principle tu work upon and thinks that the state could save money in interest by having an appropriation made that would be sufficient to keep the treasury in a reputable condition.

He suggests that from $500,000 to $1,000,000 should be appropriated over and above the budget. This would, of course, increase tho tax rate at tho time of appropriation, but it would be a merely fictitious increase, since the money would be a balance on hand to the credit of the state. It could he used at the close of each year to pay indebtedness then current, and could be returned when the budget Is made up at the beginning of the succeeding year. While the treasurer's plan is considered by financiers to be a wise one. It is tiot probable that it will be suggested this year, because of the palpable fact that the tax rate will have to he higher than usual without, any additional expenditures.

They can be made available for them by substituting a wooden barrel and shortening the stock. The trigger pull should be eased. Drilling places: (1) The setting up exercises, facings can be taught as now. salutes and In the class rooms. It is advised that the windows should be kept open when this is going on.

(2) The squad drills can be had in the school yard or in the assembly room. (3) The company and battalion drills nrnst be had according to circumstances. Where a school has a large room with movable seats this may be utilized. The use of national guard armories and similar public buildings can be obtained without out expense, upon proper application, if care is taken to insure their not being injured. There are also many public halls the use of which can be secured during the day time for a nominal rent.

When the weather will permit there is no better place to drill than a broad, well paved street, where there Is but little traffic. It Is of the utmost that instructors should be bright, active, smart and enthusiastic. This generally means that they should he young. It Is more difficult to command the attention of boys than of men and those who have had experience with boys do better with them than those who have not. Instructors must of necessity be familiar with the new "drill book." It is rare that a man can be a good instructor who has not himself carried a rifle in the ranks.

The greatest care must be exercised to avoid jealousies between companies and schools. Companies and battalions should take precedence only according to the date of appointment of their respective commanders. If an organization Is formed from more than one school Its officers should be selected so to avoid creating any feeling between them. Competitive drills should not be encouraged. They are more apt to do harm than good.

Under no circumstances should the boys be allowed to think that their military duties are more than an adjunct to their studies or that the claims of the latter are not supreme. The following methods now In practice in Grammar School No. 15 of Brooklyn are submitted for consideration, having been found in practice to greatly improve the efficiency and discipline of the school and having in a short time produced a very efficient military organization. This school has recently organized a uniformed battalion, now 224 strong (105 coming from other schools), known as the American guard. This is commanded by the principal Mr.

William L. Felter. who assumes the title of colonel. It is divided into four companies They are Instructed by Mr. Reno L.

formerly first lieutenant of Company H. Ninth regiment, T. who volunteers his services. The officers and non commissioned officers were at first instructed by him theoretically in the evenings, and now they are competent to drill their companies. The battalion is limited to boys 4 feet 6 inches tall (which practically takes In those over 11), who are in good health, who will uniform themselves, and who have a prescribed standing in their school work.

The uniform is of blue cloth, with yellow stripes on the sides of the trousers. The cap has In front A. G. in a circle. All uniforms are alike, the cadet officers (as at West Point) having their rank indi cated by stripes on their sleeves.

These officers are elected bv the bovs. siih ject to the instructor's approval, and hold their rank for one year, provided they retain their school standing. The boys are armed with wooden guns and drill on Wednesdays and Fridays, from 4 to 6 P. at the old Gatling battery armory. They at first drilled on Friday afternoons and Saturdays A.

but gave up the latter. A patrol guard of fourteen is detailed each week from the best students, who appear in uniform and do the work of monitors during school hours. They see that, the boys enter and leave the school quietly and preserve order in its neighborhood. There is also a color guard which raises the school flag on the building at 8:45 every morning and lowers it at 3:05 P. M.

This guard marches into the main room with the colors every morn ing and places them beside the piano. Every Monday morning after the opening exercise's the color guard forms in front of the piano with the flag in the center and the commands are given: "Salute the flag!" "Attention!" The whole school rises, the flag is drooped, and at the command "begin" all come to a "salute," and with their hands in that position say together: "I pledge allegiance to my flag and to the republic for which It stands. One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. The hands are then dropped, the color guard raises the colors and the school unites in singing "My country, 'tis of thee," which closes the ceremony. In the daily exercise of grammar school Xo.

87, in Xew York, the city, state and na tional colors successively take their places. The national flag advances and is saluted by the other nags, the school rises and all cheer. 'Where there is a will there is a way." The particular obstacles which may present themselves in each locality can be surely overcome with the vvdll to do so. Inquiries are invited where further in formation is desired either as to methods, details of equipment or places where they can be procured. Miss Hill on Modern Athens.

He would not say anything about himself, and all that I am able to tell you now about' his early life is what I gleaned from respectable persons who knew him from his infau cy. He is a man of about 32 or 33 years of age.

He belongs to a respectable family in Bengal and is a graduate of the Calcutta university. His secular name was Norendra Nath Dutta. In his younger days," unlike other youths of his age, he showed a strong inclination for spiritual things. He would never pass the Salvation army marching in the streets of Calcutta, or a Brahmo Samaj congregation without joining them and' chanting their chorus. He was very fond of frequenting holy places and talklngr to holy personages.

His 20th year marks aa epoch of his life, when, on the death of his father, he became a sanyasi (monk), under the illustrious Sri Ramakrishna Paramaharoaa He lived with tho Paramahamsa for a period and, after his death, he took to travelings He lived on the Himalayas for some time, and, after traveling on foot to Thibet and other places, he returned to India. He used to speak occasionaly of the sublime seen eries and the eternal snow regions of "'tha': Himalayas, and say that while there he first acquired calmness of mind. After ten or. twelve years of such a life, he took a vow to travel the whole of India and not to touch metal. It was during this trip that many of us became acquainted with him.

It was by fortuitous concurrence of circumstances that we met him. We met him at a time when many of our young men at Madras were absorbed in their fashionable thoughts of the day, at a time when they had no proper idea of their own selves and their mission in this world. It was a godsend to many of them that they met one so full of spirituality that even a short contact with him made them turn over a new leaf in their lives. They found in him a wonderful combination of religious orthodoxy and social radicalism, Western scholarship and Eastern spiritual wisdom. Pie claimed equal rank both with the Pandits and with the professors.

His discourses on any subject were interesting, but on a religious question, non pariel. Sri Paramahamsa Ramakrishna is said to have once, observed that Norendra Nath had in him both the spirit of divine knowledge and the spirit of divine love highly developed. Nobody who came in contact with him escaped the "magic influence of his heart. The happiness which one felt in his company was not a mere gratification of the intellect, but it transcended all the emotions of the heart. I am not comr petent enough, gentlemen, to pass an opinion on his knowledge.

But this much I can say, that his eloquent course on the teachings of Krishna turned many a man into a statue. Ha preached a wonderful religion of harmony. He taught that the Vedas should be studied through the spectacle of evolution; that they contain the whole history of the progress of religion until religion has reached its perfection in unity Ad vaitism; and that no new religious idea is preached anywhere which is not found in the Vedas, which teach from Agnimida to Tatsah. To him the seeming contradictions and conflicting teachings of the Vedas are all true as describing portions of the one Infinite Reality; and Hinduism, where one passes from truth to truth, and not from error to truth as in other religions, was the religion of religions. He defined God as the apex of the triangle of creation and drew a sharp line between God and Brahman." RULES IN PALMER'S FAVOR In the Surveyor's Suit Against tha.

Motorman and Conductor Charged With Manslaughter. The killing of William Farrell, aged 14, an employe of the dry goods firm of Weehsler McNulty, on December 3, by a trolley car of the Fulton street line near Marcy avenue, was looked into in Justice Quigley's court yesterday.

Bernard O'Donnell, the motorman, and Patrick Mulvihill, the conductor, were examined. The former claimed that he was running on good time and used every effort to stop the car without. InjurinR the boy and' partly succeeded by alowinn the platform plattorm to i pass over him, thus savin? him from being crushed under the wheel. However, the boy died from his injuries. Frank Hossler of 3 St.

Marks avenue testified that he noticed the boy on the trnck when the car was but thirty feet, aivay and called to the motorman. The mystery of the case is that there is no evidence as to how th" boy fell on the track, but it is supposed that he fell from a paslng truck. Justice Qulgley tailed to see enough evidence to warrant him holding the prisoners on the charge of manslaughter and he discharged them. Troy Polioetr.an Runs Annick. Troy, N.
