A WEST POINT PREP. SCHOOL. Mrs. Russell Sage Would Give an Island For the Purpose. New York, Anguet.—It is learned iecm a New York friend of Mrs. Rus- | -ell Sage that sbe fs thinking serious y of purchasing Constitutional sland {o the upper Hudson, opposite | Vest Point, and giving is to the United States government as 4 site on which to erect the world’s zreatest military preparatory school, school that will be to West Point what Etou ts to Oxford and Law- renceville ts to Princeton, According to Mra. Sage’s friend, she is very much in earnest about this project. She will send a repre- sentative to West Point within a few days to look into the matter and put her in possession of all the facts concerning Constitutional island, the attitude of the West Point av- shorities toward the {dea, and wheth. eror not Congress is likely to givetts sanction fn the event of Mrs. Sage obvatning title to the property. Mrs. Sage would like to give to West Polnt @ preparatory achool, it is said, where boys, particularly those from remote places, where the public schools are not the best, can recelve the preparatory education necessary to pags the rigid examina: sion required of all candidates for cadetships at the United States Mili- tary academy. In recent years the percentage of cadets lost to the army as the result of thelr inability to pass the West Point entrance examinations has been very large, particularly in the mathematical branches. It {8 to remedy this that Colonel Scott, su- perintendent at West Point, and the higher officlals of the’ War depart. ment are anxtous-to-acquire Conett tutional island utllize {6 for the loca- tion of @ training school for West Potnt candidates.
