Excerpt from The Making of Men The tender flush Of dawn was suffusing the darkness and the stars were one by one beginning to withdraw from their vigilant watch o'er the sleeping earth at the advance of the day relief of the sun, when reveille rang out as shrilly clear as ever it did in military camp. The light came on apace and soon the neat buildings, trim walks, ordered squares, woke to the activities Of day under the shade Of stately sacred bo, coconut palm, and rain tree, whose topmost leaves already quivered in the light morning air.

There is no available secret hiding place at Chingleput Fort for the pests about which railway travellers are so vocal. The only cots are in the hospital, where some six or seven boys were inmates - de tained by nothing more serious than slight ailments, for they were all erect, alert, and smiling as they smartly saluted the Superintendent, who in brief sentences described his system. It is military discipline, rudimentary education, a healthful mixture of work, which will make a skilled craftsman, and games which fit lads, better than anything else can, to give a fair showing in the business of good citizens.
