There is something too be said for •
torten degree of military training for
boys and young men. From the de-
fence poiot of view it lays a found. -
tion for the speedy evolutfoo of
soldiers it nscomeary. From the edu-
cational standpoint It mesas physical
precision, vigor end alertness, mental
control and spirit of ledependence, be-
nignly combined with sense of discip-
line. But the conception of • soldier
nation, wbich President John Grier
Hibben seems to advocate in his art-
icle in the Princeton Literary Gamete,
would carry the idea to the ohjretiou-
able extreme. a soldier nation is just
the tbiog to he deprecated. It inevit-
ably results io aggressive militarism,
the spirit of conquest or domination,
which is en Ieeoosietent with the
wo, id's progress. As against univer-
sal
neven
sal training for war the maintenance
of a standing army of adequate size
for defence, made up of professional
soldiers and backed *.y a reserve
largely growing out of itself, seems
far the lee of two perils to peace and
eivillestioa.
