Culver, established PMA in honor of his late father, Gen. J. H. Culver, U.S. Army Volunteers. In a 1928 publication of the school, it showed H.H. Culver as the president, with Judge Benjamin F. Bledsoe serving as vice president, and Charles E. Lindblade, one of Culver's real estate colleagues, as treasurer. (note all three had streets in Culver City named for them.) The school ideals were listed as "high scholastic standards, physical development, military science and training for purposes of discipline, administration, uniformity and the development of leadership, moral character and training, responsibility of citizenship and Americanism." The publication also suggested that Harry Culver had been brought up with a "reverence for the traditions and customs of the military service." Pacific Military Academy was a two-story structure designed by a noted architect, Wallace Neff, who also designed the Culver family mansion in Cheviot Hills. The tuition in 1928, was $800 a year for boarding, or $200 for day attendance.

Reva Klein looks at what this approach has to offer Here, we have a structure but we move in a positive way, by giving students responsibilities and allowing them opportunities to achieve. I do not follow the military concept of breaking them down so you can build them up again. Twenty seconds through the door of the Chicago Military Academy and you get the feeling this is no Grange Hill. First of all, there's the airport-grade x-ray machine at the entrance to the school office. Then there are the warning signs telling you in no uncertain terms not to enter the office until someone comes out. Once inside the office, you're surrounded by a decor best described as variations on a theme of red, white and blue: photographs of American flags from every conceivable angle and of fighter jets in various configurations, with slogans underneath like "Freedom" and "Working Together."

Cover story Feeding the military machine CLAIRE SCHAEFFER-DUFFY Chicago and Philadelphia Over the past decade, the number of JROTC programs has doubled nationwide, from 1,500 units to around 3,000, and public military academies are becoming popular options, especially in urban districts where truancy and fights are rampant. Expenditures have tripled from $76 million in 1992 to approximately $210 million. with its pro-military career bias, is nothing but a thinly veiled effort to recruit Americans at an ever-younger age, a charge the armed forces denies. Primarily an afterschool program, Cadet Corps morphed into a full-day military academy at Madero Middle School, located in a working-class neighborhood that is 98 percent Mexican, according to Principal Rosa Ramirez. After the riots The four-year course, offered as an elective in lieu of physical education at a traditional high school or as a requirement at a military academy, comes with its own curricula and instructors, who are retired military officers certified by the branch of the armed services they represent. Army JROTC instructors receive their certification at Fort Knox, Ky., which is also headquarters for Army recruiting. Full of zeal Although the student population is 90 percent black, African-American history is not part of the curriculum. Military history is. Students learn a lot about the development of battle tactics and strategy, said Captain James Patterson III, who has taught computers, political science and world studies at the school.

UPI NewsTrack TopNews Bill would permit military academy prayers By Amy Fagan THE WASHINGTON TIMES Republicans on Capitol Hill are stepping into a battle over whether military schools should be allowed to include prayer as part of meals and other school-sponsored activities. House conservatives are pushing a bill designed to ensure that military academies can have policies to include voluntary, nondenominational prayers during authorized activities, such as meals. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Walter B. Jones, North Carolina Republican, aims to combat the efforts of the American Civil Liberties Union, which successfully sued the Virginia Military Institute because of its prayer-before-meal tradition, and has since notified the U.S. Naval Academy in a letter that its similar prayer policy must be changed. "I find it incredibly ironic that liberal organizations like the ACLU are attempting to take away the very freedoms that these students are willing to go to war to protect," Mr. Jones said when he introduced his bill last month. Last week, Rep. Joe Pitts, Pennsylvania Republican, and Sen. Sam Brownback, Kansas Republican, pushed the proposal during their weekly issues briefing for conservative organizations.

The original act provided that the Corps of Engineers stationed at West Point should constitute a military academy, but the growing threat of war with England in 1812 resulted in congressional action to increase the corps and to expand the academy's facilities. Changes in curriculum and organization made by Sylvanus Thayer , superintendent from 1817 to 1833, earned him the title Father of the Military Academy. In the 19th cent. the military academy was one of the nation's major sources of civil engineers, and its graduates made excellent records in the Mexican War and especially in the Civil War. After 1866 the academy was no longer formally related to the Corps of Engineers. The academy is now under the general direction and supervision of the Dept. of the Army. Its enrollment has greatly expanded since its founding and at present is about 4,300 cadets. The curriculum, too, has been greatly modernized, notably under Douglas MacArthur, its superintendent from 1919 to 1922. An applicant must obtain a nomination to be considered for an appointment to the academy. The sources of nomination are the President of the United States; the Vice President; U.S. Senators and Representatives; and the representatives of the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories. Special appointment categories include children of deceased and disabled veterans or of career military personnel, foreign students, regular U.S. army, U.S. army reserve, honor graduates of military and naval schools and ROTC, and children of Medal of Honor recipients. Candidates must be between the ages of 17 and 22 and must meet physical and educational qualifications.

Fishburne Military School Fishburne Military School was founded in 1878 by James A. Fishburne, a student and protege of Robert E. Lee. It was while attending Washington College that Fishburne was inspired by Lee to become an educator. The school flourished and, in 1916, Staunton architect T. J. Collins was commissioned to design a new barracks. Following the precedent of A. J. Davis's Virginia Military Institute , the barracks employed a castellated Gothic Revival style. The composition has since become downtown Waynesboro's chief architectural landmark. Collins's sons, Samuel and William, continued the tradition with their designs for the administration/gymnasium building and barracks additions. Fishburne has developed into one of the State's most distinguished military academies, continuously rated an honor military school under the U. S. Junior Army Reserve Officers Training Corps since 1924. It is one of the few military schools in Virginia to continue in operation. Fishburne Military School overlooks the city of Waynesboro. The main entrance to the school is via Church St., near the intersection of Main St. Visitor parking is provided in front of the Administration Building. For further information, visit the school's

But this African-American district chose hope over apathy and rallied around its most cherished landmark, the crumbling Eighth Regiment Armory. The Armory Before Restoration The 1914 building, headquarters for the African-American "Fighting Eighth," which fought in the 1916 border conflicts with Mexico, was the first U.S. Armory built for a regiment trained and commanded entirely by African Americans. After being decommissioned in the 1950s and standing vacant for almost 50 years, it has been transformed into a public military academy and an anchor for the district's rebirth. Today the academy houses an 800-seat auditorium, a drill hall, gun range, 20 classrooms, two libraries, and the nation's first museum of African-American military achievement. The school is the first military academy in Chicago's public school system. The National Trust today announced it will recognize the project with a 2000 National Preservation Honor Award. National Trust President Richard Moe will present the award on Thursday, Nov. 2, during the National Trust's National Preservation Conference in Los Angeles.
