Captain K. . Stoevor has Jusl loft
Washington lo take up the work in
Chicago, from where it will he ex
tended lo Kunsan City and Denver.
Captain Stoevor is the man who took
tho '"ism" out of "militarism" by es
tablishing his system of boy training
in the lilnh schools of Wyoming.
"Sleevor ran take an army of
boys, trained as he has trained these
boys, and by putting thorn into camp
under Btrict working conditions for
a month, mnka as good a body of
BohlterH of them as you can make
out of army material in a year,"
said an official of the repartnient,
who knows Sleever'n work.
Captain Steever's plain is to take
advantage of the gang spirit in boys.
He abolishes tlie military titles and
uniforms, and calls his organisations
simply "Huuads or "groups" in
stead of "companies," "platoons," or

The Wyoming boys, trained by j
Sleevor, broke all world's records In
wall scaling, not by using picked j
athletes, but by training every boy
in the school. The Wyoming blgh
school rifle shooters have exceeded J
the best marks made by experts, j
Sicever himself is one of tile best
rifle shots in the, United States.
Contrary to all ordinary military
methods, Captain Steever believes an
army does not need the discipline
of compulsion. He believes In the
discipline of leadership.
