That It oontribBtea to tfUlgeiice ia study. The beat men in the drill, as m rale, are the beat in their studies. 3d. That it contributes to good behavior. The penalties are of a dignified character: and while well graded according to tlie offense, and siHne of them severe, they are not such as to crush the q; t of a boy. Being recognixed as a part of the military discipline, they an icoeived without the protests that are Irequently made against pcnialties inflicted in school. 3d. It cultivates the habit of immediate, implicit, and unquestioning obedience to i ht folly odostitirtinlaathoirity: also habits of order, neataeaay pnartaaHty, and adtceUaaoe. -«7— 4tli The drill is fine physical exercise. i.s|KcialIy for boys who are to the plastic state.
