ABSTRACT
The boys’ boarding military school fills a shrinking niche unlike that of any other educational institution, and this is reflected both in the composition of its student body and its curriculum. Furthermore, military schools have commitments to programs of discipline unlike that of any public school, or private boarding or day nonmilitary school. Among foreign students at military schools are boys whose families belong to the highest strata of their societies, and among American well-to-do students are boys who attend both private and exclusive schools such as Phillips Exeter, Choate, Deerfield, Phillips Academy (Andover), Woodberry Forrest, and several others. Few well-to-do Americans are at any military schools, and comparisons between the two forms of private educational institutions are generally invalid.
