Sometimes when the work becomes particularly monontonous, inquiry is made as to what the value of close order drill is. It seems so useless as preparation for battle, the result is that men become careless about the whole matter. This is a very unfortunate mistake, as close order drill is absolutely essential to proper training of troops, and the more expert a man is in this work, the better and more desirable soldier he will make. In the British army, a body of troops begins squad drill as soon as it is sent back for the "long rest." It inculcates discipline, and tends to a perfection and unity of organization that are necessary in battle. --Daily Princetonian
