Notre Dame One of Schools Giving Military Training.

Tlie Sunday Visitor (Catholic) published at Huntington, gives .some interesting information in rcjjard to military training given the tiuN-iit of Notru Dame, one of the noted ( atholic educational iiiHt itnt ions. We have been requeued to publish the following from a recent issue, of the Visitor: "Catholics are continually being nccused of lack of patiiotkn, but. never wan there an amiiutiuii made by bigotry or prejudice with .such little foundation on facta. On every occasion of national jeril Catholics have been foremost amongst those willing to lay down their time, money ami lives for their eomitry. One great reason for thin is that from the time that the Catholic youth intern the parochial school until he leaves the college or university his duties as a Christian citizen are driven home to him Loth by word and act, with a never ceasing reiteration, and every possible effort is made to fit him to lx of service for his country. Kvery Catholic knows that this is true, not only in the parochial school, but in the higher Rchools of learning. Ilut perhaps there are many, both within and without the fohl, who would be interested to know just how it Is carried out in one of the larger Catholic seats of learning.

'The heroic part that Notre Dame's nous und priests liave played in every previous moment of national danger are

so well known that they need not be repeated; they form one of the most lx-au-tiful ami interesting stories of the nation's history und t lie proudest of the university's traditions. P.ut it might be of interest to note that in this period of national disturbance Notre Dame, like every other C'ath-

jolic school, is not found wanting. The , University of Notre Dame was one of

the first colleges in the country to adopt military training and to make, it compulsory for its students. The University lias at present tlie largest college rill cliil) in tlie country, and for its size probably the. largest iiiiiiiImt of students cadets. If the United States had to raise an army tonight Notre Dame could furnish ninety perfect shots to fill the ranks, according to an examination made last week. These sharpshooters are members of tlie Notre Dame Kille Club, which has a total membership of nearly five hundred. Some of them are members of Notre Dame's winning rifle team, which, in the intercollegiate shooting contest just closed won sixth place amongst all the colleges in the country. "Just two years ago Notre Dame entered for the first time the intercollegiate rifle association. In the first year it was promoted from Class C to Class U. Now as a result of the good showing

this year it will be again advanftl to Class A. Interest in rifle work has grown to such an extent at the university that a special range had to be built for the shooters. On this range, which ranks well with the best indoor ranges in the country, twenty-four men can practice at once. To prove that the over four hundred members of the local rifle club really practice, it may be noted that 53,imm) rounds of ammunition were used during the past season. It is proposed to build, this summer, an outdoor rifle range, so that the Notre Dame cadets can secure outdoor practice as well a indoor work. During tlie past season the Notre Dame rille team lost but one shot. It defeated Hueh teams as Yale, Princeton, and Wisconsin, and made a mark of 12,SJ." out of a possible 13,0(10. Interest in the military training seems to grow every year at Notre Dame, and the number of students who take it is rapidly increasing. When the course was liist given a few years ago there were but a couple of hundred students taking it; now there are in the neighborhood of seven or eight hundred. Two army oMicers have charge of the battalions.
