Commencement season at West
■PwB Point brings to the fountain head
of American military education a
swarm of visitors that taxes the
HM| hospitality of everybody In the
countryside. As though the varied
attractions of the Point at gradua-
tlon time were not enough, there
are notable boat races on the Hud-
gon jn this vicinity at this season,
and moreover, this whole section of
the Hudson river valley has her most attractive
spring dress at this time of year, and draws hither
a considerable portion of our leisure class, ever
ready to go anywhere in search of diversion. The
circumstance that the West Point Military academy
is not in close proximity to any large city, compli-
cates the problem of housing the strangers that in-
vade the stronghold at this time of year. All ae-
commodatlons in the hotels In the vicinity (inclu-
ding the one under the auspices of Uncle Sam), are
engaged months in advance, and every officer on
duty at West Point is likely to have his hospitality
and incidentally the sleeping accommodations in his
“quarters” taxed to the utmost.
During the golden days of June, which wind up
the year at the military academy, discipline is re-
laxed, and all the cadets from upper-classmen to
“plebes” are at liberty to enjoy the round of
pleasure which is provided. To be sure there la
plenty of work mixed In with the play, for this is
the time of year that the official board of visitors
makes its annual Inspection, and the West Point
battalion is expected to display Its best points. Bo-
tween times, however, there are opportunities for
strolls on the far-famed "Flirtation Walk,” and In-
cidentally It may be remarked, that it is the one
season of the year when there Is a fair visitor for
every cadet. Ordinarily the proportion Is one belle
to three, or even to six or seven prospective offi-
cers. The evenings are given over to hops, culmina-
ting in the appropriately named “Farewell Balk”

way from “guard mount” to rough riding, are the
magnets which draw to West Point the vast
throng of sightseers and pleasure seekers. In-
cidentally, it may be noted that it is an excellent
opportunity to see celebrities. The president of
the United States, the secretary of war, or some
other prominent official, presents the diplomas to
the graduates, and high officials of the army are
always present in their bravest show of gold
braid.
The Military academy is probably unique
among all educational institutions in that the term
"commencement week” has a certain appropriate
significance for the whole student body, rather
than merely for the graduating class. At West
Point, commencement week means the commence-
ment of a new life for the lads, who after four
years of book learning and practical training, are
to go forth to assume the responsibilities of lieu-
tenants of infantry, cavalry or artillery. But for
the quota of cadets left behind to finish their un-
completed courses of Instruction this momentous
week in June likewise means the commencement
of a new era, a change in the existing order of
things that is about as radical as could be imag-
ined.
This universal significance of the commence-
ment season is due to the fact that the majority
of the West Point cadets are not granted a sum-
mer vacation after the fashion which obtains in
the case of the pupils at most public and private
corresponding culminating

INDIAN CREMATION MUST STOP.
Some time ago the agent and other officers in
charge Of the Yuma reservation asked the braves
to refrain from burning the houses of the dead.
They showed how easy it would be for a fire to
sweep over a part of the reservation and put gov-
ernment property in Jeopardy.
For a time the Indians observed the request,
the Los Angeles Times says, but a few days ago
celebrated the departure of one of their number
In the most approved redskin style. The personal
effects of the deceased were burned and bis house
was set on fire. He was supposed to have arrived
in the happy hunting ground, ready for an enthu
elastic reception.
But, inasmuch as the personal property of a
deceased person belongs to the heirs by the Cali-
fornia law, there is no doubt that zealous friends
overstepped the law when they cremated every-
thing the dead Indian had ever owned.
The practice of the Yuma Indians In burning
their dead, together with the possessions left by
the departed braves, has aroused the federal au-
thorities to action. While there wouldn’t be In-
terference with cremation—a religious rite_the
officers declare that government property must
not be endangered.
