place, but it is unquesiionablie that
"a -little knowledge is a . disuge'rous
thisig." If we need officers we need
more sciiools like West Point.
Tue second arguint may ice pas;?
ever. It is reiativeiy fininteriai
whether the driii take the, place of
gymnasium work or net. Tue Iiiird
point intioned is the oniy one of
sufficient Imnortnnce to merit consid-
eraation, -and we sae a littl, surprisedt
at .the, antique argument with .which
our- "constant reader" opposes it. t'er-
hops socetyin i the mifddle' ages was
more free from duels and oncosinters
tiian we today, becauoe meii went
shout armed, and it may beu that cow-
boys are a' more peaceful -class of
citizens than the average inhabitants
of our cities, hut. this. fact,. if true,
hias entirely escapeid our notice. It
may also be true that had 13dwiird
III, of England, possessed a laarger,
army the Hundred Years War isighitl
have been avoided, and if napoleon
III had been better equippied the
bloodiest war of modern history mlighit
never have occurred. And, Osrufing
to our oneu national experientee, it
mlay be, possitble that if George 11.I
had bet-n without readily artailaable
reeps, so as to beN compelled to he6ar
the opinioii of tile Euglisii people as
it partially was .expressed by til 'e 1-
chants :of London, the severity ofh'eii
American Rtevolution might have
been such as to extteciurinate tihetAm-
erican people; but, as befei'e, these
p.ossihilties. we mad failed to appre-
ciate It would he dogmiatic to cay
that things would net, have turned out
thus, and 'dogmatism 'we shaili not in-
dulge in. We are only sorry that wve
cani point to no 'case where a nation
has carried ,onCbiii policies of ariiy
and no iriny simultaneously, no that
tue reiative efficienicy could be deter-
