Excerpt from Making a Soldier

The Training School, Massachusetts National Guard, has been in operation four years. The School was established to fit young men to become subalterns in the militia after a two years' course of study and training. The course includes a camp of instruction held for three days in the autumn, and for a week in the summer of each year; also monthly conferences during the winter, at which the cadets are assembled for a twenty four hour period of instruction. In connection with the conferences there is a correspondence school. One student is chosen yearly from every military organization in the state.

The following lectures were given informally to the cadets of the Training School at the monthly conferences; as they were not originally intended for publication, no attempt was made to preserve the various sources from which some of the matter was taken. The author regrets the impossibility of determining how much has been borrowed from better writers and scholars.
