That the genius of modern education since the Humanists of the Renaissance has been concerned almost wholly with mind culture and of late, also, with the bread and butter sciences and technical training, and has prac- tically ignored the development of character and body as systematic objectives; whereas the Greeks, whose literature has been our fetich for centuries, made the main purpose of their educational system the building of char- acter, physical development and the duties of tizenship, and crowned their decidedly coer- cive scheme of education with from two to four years of ephebic training, in which their youth were cadets in a military academy, where their final examinations were in the duties of citizenship and arts of war. That the military school is about the only one which to-day consistently, and of pur- pose, exercises these three functions and seeks to develop what Montaigne calls the whole man, through discipline of morals, mind and body, and personal accountability for every act. You will do me the justice to observe that I do not assume the military school or training to have attained ideal success in all these par- ticulars, nor that its special coercive methods are wholly adapted to civil uses. I merely invite attention to the fact that here is a mechanism which, within its limits and for its purposes, is fulfilling the Greck ideal. I would like to add my personal belief that a skeleton of these coercive fundamentals could underlie the body of civil education and still leave room for free development of initiative and personality. In conclusion, there seems to me some food for reflection in the fact that since its estab- lishment, one-half of the graduates of West Point have entered civil life and have attained distinction in every field of endeavor as Presi- dents, Senators, Governors of States and Prov- inces, Ambassadors, presidents and chancel- lors of universities and colleges, bishops, Mayors, authors, editors, surveyors, bankers, presidents of railroads and corporations, mer- chants, farmers and many more; besides do- ing pretty well in their own line when they are “adjusted to the requirements of a rigid system.” Cuarzes W. Larnep. [In its remarks on Colonel Lamed’s ad- dress Lirr extenuated the education offered by the colleges, on the ground that being less coercive than the West Point education it better qualified the youth who really profited by it to make his own choices, shape the details of his own conduct and be responsible for the event. West Pointers, it is true, have succeeded in many fields of civil life, but in most cases, we believe, they have shown the defects as well as the ad- vantages of West Point education. And how many men of notable talent, like Whistler and Poe, have been dropped out of West Point because the Procrustean system of that place was not fitted for the A LITTLE STORY Simply Told ofa BIG SUCCESS Based on Simple Merit For many years and in many strange corners of the world I bad smoked cigarets. None of those made in Turkey, Egypt, Western Europe, or the Orient were just the “real thing,” and not until I learned it from Russians, did I know the true delight ofa perfect cigaret smoke. Thad a friendly and honest desiro to contribute something to the luxury of living, and, believing this Russian Cigaret to bo the best in the world, and very far in advance of anything ever offered in America, I began a few months ago to manofacture them in a small wa: and to furnish them to my friends and their friends. I felt sure that smokers could and would discriminate if given an oppor- tunity. And t guessed right. In tho beginning I offered Makaroff Russian Cigarets to tho consumer only, Buch aa insist- Tappeal came to me, almost at once, from nokers throughout America to place these cig+ a hin their convenient reach, that I was ractically forced, six mouths ago, to begin to jot dealers have them, Never, since dealers were given an opporto- nity tostdck thesocigarots, has the factory been anywhere near equal to the demande upon it.
