It is the aim underlying the military training we give boys in the Junior School to train them in prompt obedience to orders, attention to details of physical appearance, neatness, manly bearing and upright carriage. It is not the aim of our military training to make soldiers out of the young boys en- trusted to our care nor to develop a fighting spirit in them. We teach them to obey that they may be fit to command, and no boy is too young to realize that he cannot control others until he learns to control himself. itary training. Discipline. Discipline is gentle but firm and is con- structive in its application to the boy. It is administered by men who are conscientious and sympathetic and who are determined to hold the good will and friendship of the boy and feel that to hold the boyis belief in their fairness is of more importance than the punishment administered. It is our firm belief that if we keep our boys busy and happy in their associations with us we shall have little or no disciplinary difficulty.

From the principal throughout the entire group, they are high minded, enthusiastic persons of strong personality. We wish that you might know them personally and individually, for you would feel very safe in entrusting your boy to them. MAJOR Joi-:N MORGAN Principal It is more important to have strong teachers in an ele- mentary school than in high school, for here is where the foundation is laid for all future education. As the twig is bent, so is the tree inclined,,' is a sound educational maxim. The early stages of the educational process are the most vital and far reaching in importance. Small boys idealize their teachers if they are of sufficiently strong individuality to grip the boys, admiration. Practically all of our Junior Staff are men of athletic type, outstanding athletes, in fact, in their college life. The red-blooded boy loves to associate, to play with men of this stamp. But athletic ability was, of course, a secondary motive in their choiceg character and ability to teach were the primary considerations. You may entrust your son to these men with full faith and confidence in their honesty, earnestness, and devotion to their taslc. CAPTAIN G. C.
