| WASHINGTON— (NEA)—Take
pny graduating class from the
Army War College, close your
eyes and point at random to any
one man in it.
It's a safe bet he’ll be a general
gome day. If given the chance, the
.gnan you point to could be an out
- standing statesman in any other
branch of public service. As he
stands there, just about any big
company would hire him as an
executive, .
. The Army War College, tempo
rarily at Ft. Leavenworth, Kans.,
is the apex of one of the must suc
cessful educational systems in the
avorld, The Army’s schools for

They produced such soldier

why General Eisenhower, for

Person Astonished
Every person who sees the sys

ished at its results. Gordon Gray,
petired Secretary of the Army,
calls it “the organization that has
the most remarkable record of ac
complishment in the whole field
of professional education.” He
adds: *No other profession or
'froup in the world provides a
ifelong postgraduate education

WALKS AFTER “MIRACLE"—Sister Beatrice, above, 38-year
old crippled Catholic nun at Parell, India, a suburb of Bombay,
was reported miraculously cured after seeing the statue of the
Catholic Saint, Our Lady of Fatima, next to which she is standing.
On seeing the statue, Sister Beatrice was said to writhe in her
wheel chair and then stand up and walk. Roman Catholic authori=-
o ties view the reported faith-cure with caution.
ROTC program of any college.
And only 29.1 per cent of the reg
ular officers today are West Point-
ers.
‘ After two to five years’ duty
with the troops, an officer goes to
the Branch School, for 10 months
of technical training. After re
turning to troop duty for a couple
of years, the officer, a captain or
major by that time returns for
post-graduate Branch School
courses, This prepares him for
more responsible assignments,
Every Army officer goes at least
this far,
After a few more years of field
duty the top half of all the offi
cers will go to the Command and
General Staff College, perma
nently at Ft. Leavenworth. Their
average rank will be major or
lieutenant colonel, but in the
classroom they will be simulated
generals. The course is a little less
than one year.
Best Records
Those who have the best field
records and have made the best
scholastic records then get sent
to one of two schools, after more
field duty. Some go to the Armed
Forces Staff College at Norfolk,
Va., a unified school where they
are taught the complicated busi
ness of running joint overseas op
erations, being task force com
manders, or theater commanders.
Or they may get the equivalent
of a doctor’s degree at the Army
War College, when their knowl
edge is broadened to include an
understanding of top-level indus
trial, labor, political and interna
tional problems. A very few offi
cers go to both of these schools.
Thus, after about 20 years of
service these graduates have had
four years of excellent schooling
in many fields, have proven them
selves as outstanding officers in

the field and possess superior in
tellectual abilities. That’s why
they are destined to be generals
and why any firm would snap
any one of them up as an ex
ecutive, v
Then, for the most carefully
screened senior officers, there are
still two schools ahead, both in
Washington. Th e National War
College teaches the strategic con
siderations of global warfare. And
th e Industrial College of the
Armed Forces instructs in the in
dustrial aspects of global warfare,
In addition to all of that book
learning, each year approximately
700 Army officers are sent to ci
vilian colleges and wuniversities
for graduate work in such things
as nuclear physics, law, interna
tional relations and journalism.

v WEEKLY BIBLE COMMENT
Hebrew Prophets Simplified Religion
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D.D.
The Hebrew prophet, Micah,
lived in the eighth century before
Christ, but from that far-off age,
in the book of prophecy that bears
his name, has come a simple, exact
definition of religion that is among
the most often quoted of Biblical
precepts.
It is a definition of duty. As
such it demands for the full defi
nition of religion the gospel con
cerning the God, who is the source
of life and love, and the true ob
ject of man’s worship.
The gospel defines the Godward
aspect of religion, but the man
ward aspect is set forth in these
simple, adequate words: “He
(God) hath shewed thee, O man,
what is good; and what doth the
Lord require of thee, but to do
justly, and to love mercy, and to
walk humbly with thy God?”
(Micah 6:8).
Beside it might be put the simi
larly simple and exact definition
by James, the brother of Our
Lord: “Pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father is this,
to visit the fatherless and widows
in their affliction, and to keep
himself unspotted from the
world.” (James 1:27.)
James defines religion in par
ticular and specific acts, but acts
that are symbolic of the entire
Christian spirit and attitude. The
definition in Micah is in more gen=-
eral and all-inclusive terms.
What is to be noted about these
simple definitions of religion is
that they stand in eontrast to, and
in protest against, formal profes
sion and elaborate practice of rit=
ual that lacks the soul of sinceri-

In a similar way, ang in the

I am not a pessimist concerning
the church and religious life to

daily lives matches the sincerity
of ‘their devotion, I:would that
many who do not know the mear -

Nevertheless, I think I gee in
