ADVANTAGES OF MILITARY DRILL [Continued from First Page.] vital Importance because of the small standing army that we had at the time of our entrance into the war. It appeared at first a tremendous undertaking to raise, equip, and train ;tn army of severdl millions of men; vet it is being accomplished and with effective results as has been proved very recently by what our citizen-soldiers are doing at the bat tle front. This great task could have been completed more quickly if the majority of our men had received previous military training. This training could have been brought about by our having offered it in the high schools of the country, but since the majority of such schools have not afforded the opportunity up to this time, the country is just so far behind in the training of its men at this nerve-racking crisis. "Some years ago a cadet corps was organized at Central High school, but after a short existence it was al lowed to die. If this drill had con tinued we might now have military training thoroughly organized. Many parents at first opposed millitary training in the high Schools because of the bad effect it was liable to produce. They took the effect of such training in Germany as an *x ample. But Germany was like a drunken man with a gun. The man is dangerous because he does not know how to use the weapon, and so it was with Germany. She trained her boys and used her military power for conquest; but we are sure that civilized and peace-loving America would use it onl yto suppress wrong. "Military training is rapidly being introduced in the public schools of America: and the benefits derived by the students are of great advan tage to them. The Steever system is at present used in a number of high schools. Under this plan the boys are equipped with uniform and rifles and are drilled by competent officers. They are taught the funda mentals of army formations and movements as well as the care of rifles and of their own bodies. They also receive a course in signaling and nlap making which is very use ful and instructive. "In addition to the physical bene fits derived from this training the moral and mental instruction is also helpful. The military student is taught to obey and respect his superiors. Such training teaches the high school boy courtesy; while the daily drill increases his keenness for grasping a situation quickly. "Another advantage of military training in high schools Is to give the young men a chance to become a noncommissioned or commissioned officer if he goes into the army. With the majority of our men having pre vious military training it would greatly hasten the training of our army for just such emergency as ; we face to-day. Advantage Realized "The public In general Is beginning to realize the advantage of such training. In Philadelphia the mili tary plan will be brought before the Board of Education for them to de cide whether or not the schools of that city shall offer it next year. The public schools of Wyoming have a system of military training which Is said to have the endorsement of the War Department. At the pres ent time it Is installed in more than forty of the largest cities in th£ country. "Since Harrisbursr has kept to the front in other progressive move ments there seems to be no valid reason why it is Impossible to have military training: for the high school boys of this city. Such training, backed by the school board and en dorsed by the war department, would educate for peace, and pre pare for our prompt defense. It would be an easy matter to form several companies in the local schools and it would do the boys a vast amount of good. Under such discipline Technical high school boys would learn respect for their bodies, the habit of obedience to authority, and a mental alertness that would make for success in after life. "Tech has sent a generous share of her boys to serve humanity. Unless kept from service by physical unfit ness or because-of dependants every one of her alumni not only will, but must serve. How much better might that service be if each son of Tech had epjoyed the training I am urging to-night. Shall we train the boys of our American high schools for the greatest efficiency In peace, and pre paredness in war? Tou and I must answer that question and that right speedily." The salutatory oration by George Gordon Holland was entitled "Liberty and Sacrifice." The second honor man said in the course of his remarks: "The present crisis should most forcibly remind us of the sacrifice wo must make in order to preserve our sacred liberty. Germany for forty years has been perfecting a machine to teach to the world that right is subordinate to might. But thank God that America is willing to shed its last drop of blood to send the German theory to that hell which is proper environment, and give to the world the theory that might is subordinate to right. "Might I give a little message? The boys in the trench are praying not that God will preserve their lives but that God will be with us here at home. Now what are we praying for? We are praying for neace, but not peace without vic tory. And with this in mind, let us receive to sacrifice that portion of our lives, which is necessary to make the world a fit place to live in, and to preserve the sacred principle for which our forefathers died. " Another oration was delivered by Wlnfield H. Ixjban. His subject was "Keeping the Home Fires Burning." He said: "Of what shall our foun dation consist, that it may possess the greatest stability?

Our foundation requires obedience — im plicit obedience to our government. We must respond willingly to the ap peal of all organizations that furnish our boys at the front all possible comforts. Food must be conserved; German propaganda must be up rooted; we must prepare for the happy return of our boys at the close of the war. "I feel that the class of 1918 of "Dear Old Tech' will return the spirit that we have received here during four years; that we shall do our full share to help our brothers across the sea, so that when they return it will be to a world of happy rejoicing and sunshine, with war a thing of the past." Doing Our Duty Fred H. Henry had for his sub ject, "This One Thing We Can Do." Part of his oration was: "During the period of the war, many new words have been coined, and among these is the word 'Squawker.' Xow just what is a squawker? He is not a slacker, a pacifist, or a spy, but he is a propagandist of the worst type. He is persistently crying about the horrors of war: he strikes terror into the hearts of his associates by dwelling on the frightfulness of the Hun, and of how poorly we are pre pared to meet him. He tells of the tine army Germany has. and how the Americans will be killed." The speaker then related several inci dents that had occurred at a knit ting party, which quite dampened the enthusiasm of an ardent mother of a "Sammy." Concluding he said. "America is not only a country, it is a spirit. It is as dear to him as his wife and children. Lee us help to keep up this spirit.' Let us smile. Every time we groan, we help to Indicate that German frightfulness is a suc cess. Whatever any of us do, moth ers and fathers of the bovs of Tech: friends of the boys of Tech; and good loyal Americans, let us never until that last battle is fought and won. be a squawker." Fred Christian Essig was the final graduate to speak. His oration was entitled. "They Gave Until They Died." He said: "Many are giving their very life's blood for us. Are we who claim to he true Americana going to shirk our duty to them, when all that we are asked to give is a little time and money which can be replaced? Those boys who gave and are giving their lives that we may be made a free people have given their all. Never looking for any reward or praise except that that they might prove themselves to be called worthy Americans. "Then let us not measure our ob ligations by the other fellow over here who may not be doing his best. Let us give until it hurts. It is the duty of every true American. When we do this we are co-operating be hind the lines which is Just as es sential as co-operating at the front. Let us do our best, give our best, and measure our obligations by those bovs who gave until they died." The Tech orchestra played selec- j tions during the evening under the ' leadership of Barton B. Botts, of the Senior class. William Watson, j a member of the graduating class j sang a tenor solo entitled, "The ' Trav'ler Stands Perplexed." N'att M. Emery, vice-president of I Lehigh University spoke on the | "Doing Our Duty." He concluded j his remarks by saying, "If the mem- ! bers of the class possess an educated j optimism they are sure to go from victory to victory, realizing more and more Trust God; see all, nor be afraid.'

HOW TO GROW FAT A Lnzy Stomuvh tlie Cause of Thin ness, Nine Times in Ten If you are thin or lean, have scrawney arms and neck, you can't grow fat unless your food properly digests. People take on flesh in proportion to the nutritious matter which the organs of digestion absorb and pass into the blood. Just as long as the nutritious mat ter passes along without being ab sorbed, just so long will you remain thin. Perhaps your stomach, bowels and liver need a tonic. If your digestion is not perfect. Mi-o-na tablets will put it right at once. Mi-o-na will relieve indigestion and every conceivable ailment of the stomach promptly. It strengthens di gestion by building and toning up and not by encouraging a tired stomach to continue its shiftless and health destroying habits. It promptly drives away sour stomach, belching of gas, heaviness after eating. H. C. Kennedy sells Mi-o-na and guarantees it to relieve indigestion, sea and car sickness, vomiting of pregnancy and all stomach diseases and distress, or money back. Mi-o-na is sold by leading drug gists.—Advertisement. /■ ■> FOR gk a tfjk L ftl CORNB ■ V WJO H M BUNIONS CALLUSES Immediate Relief—2s cents GORGAS DRUG STORES 1U TINC AT PAXTANG New Cumberland.
