Learning ta Beg-olar's way. i One of the most important phases of military training is gusrd duty.

This tends to imbue the men with the seriousness of such respon sibility and they gain confidence In themselves. Active participation for ten days is productive of more good than many times that much theoretical training. It Is marvelous how quick th average militiaman Is to learn from his older brother, the regular. Here at Fort Ste vens they were placed-at the batteries with the regulars, ana after three days were able to manipulate tne nig guns with almost the accuracy and speed of the rearulars themselves.
