FRIDAY, J APRIL 21, 1225 THE FRANKLIN PRESS . PAGE FIVE An Editorial By DR. FRANK CRANE I am not one of those who run away, with catch words, and see red at a war cry, , ' I am an incurable pacifist and ut terly opposed to that old system under which the governments of the world still funrtion, thp System that rpnrlprs rival national armies and navies a necessity. . But for all that I believe the army and navy should be retained by every nation, not so much as a de fense but v as furnishing the best machinery of education. I believe in military training not only for every boy but for every girl1. This military training in no sense implies training to murder or devel oping the lust to kill. , But it does imply certain things that are of more necessity for youth than other things that can be sup plied elsewhere. The child learns best by military training, the meaning of discipline and perhaps more souls are lost and bodies ruined by lack of discipline than , form any other cause. The child, by military training, has developed in him a sense of respon sibility and this is the core of good citizenship. , ThP child by military training, gets practical and invaluable : physical development He learns to make use fcf that tonic which, more than any other, can put iron in the soul hardship. Hp learns decision; and indecision is the mother of slobs. He learns obedience ; . not only obedience to his superiors but obed ience to himself, which is more im portant. He learns team play; and after all, the ability to co-operate is of more value to the human being than the ability to compete. If he learns "jingoism", and the bunk -'about' the glory of war and conquest, it , is not because this sort of rubbish is in any wise essential to military training. , Military training, does not imply that those who receive it shall be come professional soldiers, but in a free democracy every human being is a potential soldier, he or she may be called upon at any time to sacri fice fortune or life for the common good, and perhaps thP most import ant thincr in military training is the fact that the youth has his. budding ego properly pruneel, he is imacie to feel that there is something in this world' more important than his own private interest. ' One of the cardinal paragraphs ot my creed is that every boy and girl in America should be required to give at least-one year to the service of Uncle Sam. Too many grown people are so de ficient in education that they do not realize the supremacy of the claims of their nation and of humanity upon them. . , , . Military training might easily be come thP er$ best means of devel oping the civic nerve. And one great trouble with the country is that too commonly this nerve is atrophied. For application blanks etc., see M. D. Billings, C. M. T, C. County Representative. Superior Court in Session The Superior Court of Macon coun ty conventd Monday with Judge Finley presiding and Solicitor Davis looking after thP interest of the State.
