Essay by Kent Ellsworth Keller on the necessity and plan for a rational system to provide and maintain a standing army. He proposes inducting teenagers ranging from fifteen to eighteen to enter a three year academy to see if they have the qualities of a soldier. If they prove their aptitude, then they can join the Army Academy at West Point. The rest will be held on reserve. Handwritten notation: “This plan was conceived and written out at Heidelberg Germany in April 1892. After studying the German Army System.”
