CULVER ACADEMY AS W. L. WOOD SAW IT

W. L. Wood was in Culver Wednesday and while there visited the Military Academy. He found the grounds and tjuildings in their usual splendid condition and marvelled at what he saw—the efficiency, the completeness of the institution and the wonderful work that is being done there for and by the students. About six hundred young men are receiving the military course, which is divided into three branches-—cav-alry, artillery and infantry. He states that it is interesting to note how well the young men do their work and that they are all the picture of health. Col. Noble, who was in command of the 152nd infantry in France, piloted Mr. Wood through the institution and explained the school work in detail. The Maderios, who overthrew toe Diaz government in Mexico, received their training at Culver, and made excellent soldiers according to Col. Noble. Every state in the Union as well as Cuba and the Philippine islands are represented at the school by the students.
