Ch. X. Defensive Force.
§. 2. Leading Principles.
§. 3. Army Minister
23. or 4 contend.
Reasons for
1. Individual hardship
diminished.
2. Getting rid of those
rendered less apt by
discontent: keeping none
but those whose aptitude
was increased by
contentment.
24. or 5.
Reasons contra —
Of knowledge in the

of which the probative
force would be as the
number quitting to the
number staying: thence
so the reluctance in
others to enlist.

Art. or 6. Mode of
eliminating by lot none
but those desirous, yet
without giving publicity
to the unwelcome

1. To every individual
in the body in question
give two similar pair
of voting cards — one
expressing desire to
continue; the other, desire
to quit.
2. Boxes contiguous, two
into each, each individual
in the corps
drops his vote card thro'
a slit.
3. By all it is seen that
he drops one of his vote
cards in each: by no
one is it seen which.
