countries     in  one   way。   ;We    write   the  words    the  way    they   sound   and

informed me that in no school throughout the country�察�save one�察�were the 

dead�察�or foreign�察�languages taught�察�and in that one only for the purpose of 

correct translation in the interest of science�察�for practical education is what 

people need。 ;We have one great university for orphan children and those

gymnasium being divided into two compartments�察 �one for   boys and one 

for girls�察�with a door from each communicating with the study room and 

also with the swimming tank。; The tank was only four feet deep so as to 

remove as much as possible the chance for a child being drowned�察�and no 

little children were allowed in the tank without two or more boys and girls 

of fourteen years of age being present。 

     The  doors   leading into   the  tank   room  were   kept   under   lock   and   key 

and were only opened once a day and that at the noon hour。 The youngest 

children�察   �up   to  the  age   of  twelve   years�察  �when    they   had   learned   their 

lessons   both   in   the   forenoon   and   afternoon   went   into   the   gymnasium   to 

play�察�and by those means the children are physically well developed and 

knowing how to swim are not liable to become frightened if thrown into 

the water   and know  what   to do to save   others   from drowning。 They  are

kept   there   for   three   years   at   the   expense   of   the   government。   The   high 

school is located in the district reserve as near the center of the district as 

conditions will permit in the vicinity of the court house and the Governor's 

residence and has adjoining it not less than one thousand acres�察�according 

to   the   population   of   the   district�察  �so   as   to   make   it   as   self´sustaining   as 

possible and to teach the students agriculture�察�horticulture and the care and

                            CHAPTER VIII。 



                              THE WAR DEPARTMENT。 



     My next trip was to the War Department�察�where I was shown the Rules 

and Regulations governing the army�察�and navy。 

     The army was organized in twenty´five corps of eighty thousand men 

each�察   �besides    the  ladies'  army    corps   of  an  equal    number�察   �each   corps 

composed of three divisions of foot infantry and one division of mounted 

infantry。   Each   division   was   composed   of   three   brigades   of   infantry�察  �one 

regiment of sharpshooters and one   regiment of artillery�察�each brigade   of 

three regiments and each regiment of twelve companies�察�one hundred and 

fifty men each。 The company was divided into three sergeants' commands 

and   those   into   three   corporal   squads。   Each   company   consisted   of   one 

hundred      and   thirty´five   privates�察  �nine   corporals�察   �three   sergeants�察  �one 

company clerk�察�one lieutenant and a captain。 Four companies composed a 

battalion�察 �commanded   by  a   major�察 �and   the   regiment   by  a   colonel。 There 

were     no   lieutenant    colonels�察  �the   senior   major    taking    charge    of  the 

regiment   in   case   of   death   or   disability   of   the   colonel   until   the   regiment 

elected   an   officer   to   fill   the   vacancy。   All   vacancies   above   the   rank   of 

colonel   were     filled   by   the  corps   commander�察    �all  vacancies   up    to  and 

including that of colonel by the votes of the men�察�but the colonel had to be 

chosen   from  the   majors�察  �a   major   from  the   captains   of his battalion。 The 

lieutenant succeeded to the captaincy without a vote´but the lieutenant had 

to be chosen from the sergeants and company clerk and the sergeant from 

the corporals of his command。 The corporals were elected by the privates 

of the squads�察�so that any soldier could rise from the ranks through merit 

to high command。 

     The corps commander holds the rank of lieutenant general
