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? First—lt
must possess pure morale, strained

FRIDAY EVENING,
to the last chord. Our letters to the
boys must not show lack of enthu
siasm, but must be cheerful. 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.' "
The full list of graduates is as fol
lows: Samuel Arch, Walter Bashore,
Maurice Beard, Fred Rcecher. T,a-

51 Years Partners

Something of a novelty Is sched

morrow afternoon, when, contrasting
with the party given there a week
ago for little children, the manage

Harrisburg for more than fifty years.
The occasion is the presence on the

Last night, at the Majestic, Fox
was recounting the years that have

Ward have been singing and dancing
their way through life, when the ac

and Ward appeared in Harrisburg
fifty years ago, when Brandt's Hall
was the bright spot of amusement in
the town.
This suggested to Manager Hop

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.
