If those who received these appointments are successful in passing the rigorous mental and physical entrance examinations for there Is no place In the world where the demand for a "sound mind In a sound body" la more imperative than It Is In Uncle Sam's school on the Ilud on they will enter the academy during the first week of next July and begin that four years' course of Intensive training which makes "officers and gentlemen but, most of all. MEN I Where do ttvse 1.374 cadets come from? Well. they come frotn every part of the Uuited States and from every stratum of American society. Nearly half of them are from the farms of the North and the East, the ranches of the West and the plantations of the South. A check-non the occupations of the parents of the cadets at West Point In recent years showed the fol lowing: farmers and planters, 1,149; merchants, 772; lawyers and judges, 645; physicians, 3G7; army officers, 3G2 ; mechanics, 341 ; manufactur ers, 151; clergymen, 128; bankers, 00; and one each for the following: auctioneer, author, chief of police, cook, hatter, Iceman, Inventor, Justice of the peace, pilot, teamster and warden of prison. From different strata of society the newcomers to the academy may be when they get oft the train at the little station at West Point next July, but 24 hours later the son of the teamster, the son of the Iceman, the son of the Judge, and the son of the army officer are exactly on the same plane. They are all "plebes" and, as such, are placed In the "beast barracks' to receive their preliminary training. Rich and poor," college man and high school graduate, they are all y in the treated alike. They all rise at y in the evemorning and go to bed at ning. So far as equality is concerned, It Is democracy to the nth degree. The course of Instruction during the period of two months before September classes begin Is designed to give the new arrival a sound, erect body, and teach him the fundamental principles of military discipline and drill. Throughout this phase, the cadet has little or no time of his own. In what might be termed his moments of leisure, he is required to learn the cleaning and care of his rifle and equipment. The great melting pot is at work: the egotistical and conceited are brought down; the weak are strengthened; the surly and indifferent are taught to obey and act quickly a democratic group of youths Is ready to Join the Corps of Cadets and start the school year. The first phase Is over the "beast" becomes a cadet. The corps Is organized into a regiment of 12 companies, In each of which members of all four classes are arranged according to height In cadet argot, the second battalion, composed of the short men, are called "the runts," while the first and third battalions are termed "flankers," as descriptive of their station on the flanks at parades and other functions. Cadet commissioned officers and sergeants are (senappointed from among the iors). The highest In rank performs the duty of regimental commander, and Is titled "first captain"; subordinate grades range down through battalion and company commanders to lieutenants, who command platoons, and to sergeants. furnishes the corporals. All The second-clas- s these appointments are based on the cadets' ratings In leadership, military science, academic standing, conduct, and personal appearance. The "mass molding" of these men is carried to no extreme ; It ends with the military organizations and disciplinary drills. In all other activities, Individual character-building- , and initiative are stressed. A cadet never loses sight of the great primary aim of West Point the development of personal Integrity. Academic sections are formed with never more than 10, usually 12, cadets to one Instructor. After the Instructor hns discussed the lesson to explain any parts which are not clear, each cadet prepares a blackboard assignment, and later recites orally from the material on his blackboard. Every cadet recites and is graded each day. His assignment customarily includes! original work, develops thorough understanding of a topic, rather than the mere ability to memorize, and the language of his oral recitation must be precise and correct. Thus he acquires that quality most essential to his later career At West Point, participation in athletics Is not the special privilege of the swlffcst and the strongest Every fall and every spring throughout the entire four years, each cadet Is enrolled for some sport, which he attends twice a week.. During the hour and fifteen minutes of each he receives instruction from competent coaches, and, after short preliminary training, plnys on his company leam In competition with other companies. In this system of Intramural athletics, no cadet repeats a sport; accordingly, In four years he becomes familiar with efht different sports which, after he graduates, ne employ for the physical training of enlisted men in the army.

But more Important than the fund of techni cal and academic Information which the cadet has acquired during his four years at West Point Is another kind of training which he has received. Soldierly qualities are built upon foundation of character and manliness. The development of that character Is accomplished through many different channels.
