STARTS MILITARY TRAINING

Captain Tuteur Will Instruct All Who Come to Armory. Captain H. B. Tuteur of company M has consented to donate his services toward giving military training to all who may wish the same. The movement was started in the . Rensselaer high school and is proving so popular that it has been broadened to include all citizens who wish to take up military training. 1 The first drill was held at the armory Wednesday evening, and will be continued each Wednesday evening hereafter. The importance and value of military training is beyond ordinary comprehension, for in this day of war and strife on every hand the young men of America know not when they will be called upon to defend their homes and Joved ones. Should such a time ever come those who have had some training would be far more fit to enter the service than those who had not had any training, and they would also stand the rigors of war far better thafi the latter. The only stipulations that Captain Tuteur places upon those who\ wish training are that they be punctual in attendance, and obedience while at the armory.
