AS a preliminary to an intelligent understanding of the military system at Castle Heights, it is essential that prospective patrons grasp one cardinal fact: The Military Department at Castle Heights is not in itsebf an end,' it is a means to an end. I t is here because experience has proved that under no other system can the boy be so successfully developed. As there are schools where the military activity is a poor thing, so there are schools where military demands crowd everything else to the wall. The one is as bad as the other. Military work at Castle Heights is confined to its own particular sphere. At the point where it reaches its maximum of actual value, it stops. I t does not encroach upon standards of scholarship or character. I t exists simply and solely because by means of it your boy can be better handled, better led, better taught, better brought to a realization ofthe whole man. x A Castle Heights, however, is a real military school. Although designed for younger boys, it is as military, in its way, as West Point is in its way. The play military school, in which a hoy merely wears a uniform, slouches through a few drills, comes down to reveille half dressed, and addresses his superior familiarly, throws away whatever advantages the civilian school might possess, and gains none of the advantages inherent in the military system. Every normal hoy has a hearty contempt for the second-rate, the sham, the imitationg and he ought to have. ' There is no imitation about the Military Department of Castle Heights. Not one Castle Heights boy in five hundred becomes, or thinks of becoming, a professional soldier. The Academy lays no emphasis on developing professional soldiers. But a Castle Heights cadet could become an efficient officer in the service of his country very quickly if he were needed-if a national emergency arose. He has had all the ground-work. He has actually had detailed instruction and practical experience that thousands of American officers who went to France had to go without. The Government did not have time to give it to them. 63
