Excerpt from Observations on Cavalry Duties: Some Hints for Western Canadian Cavalry Men

Before any other thing the greatest military asset a country can have is an intelligent understanding. Andlogical public opinion. As citizens, let us hope for the coming of such a public opinion; as soldiers. Let us make the best of the situation as it is. Surely there can be no higher or better ambition than to try to fit oneself in mind and body for the great duty and responsibility of defending one's country. It is no easy task. And it is beyond the reach of the bar-room loafer. The cigarette fiend. And the pot-bellied curb-stone lounger. It calls for the highest quai ities of mind and body. And in particular for energy. Pluck. Generosity. Chivalry, and good health. That a military training is the best possible preparation for the battle of life. There can be no manner of doubt.
