Efforts have been made for some years
to effect an organization of cadets looking
to an annual encampu,ent. 1t has been felt
that the need of such an enterprise has
been real The cadets have desired the
series of encampments. believing that prac
teal military training. such as constant
practice in regimental movements. in guard
mounting and field work In general. not
practiced during the school year, would
under camp conditions be possible.
Furthermore beyond the strictly military
advantages. the cadets are looking forward
TO a pleasing, healthful and beneficial out
ing with congenial companions under safe
supervision.
The immediate impulse to the encamp-
ment comes from Ocean City. A cordial in
vitation, signed by 100 business mn, was
extended to the Washington cadets to make
an annual encampment at Ocean City Over
$500 was contributed. and energetic meas
ures were taken to make the camp site at
tractive, sanitary and comfortable. In
Quiries through the city soon made 1t ap
parent that the boys saw their advantage.
and active measures We're taken at once to
secure a large enrolment. The prospect for
the regiment was promising and the invita-
ton was accepted.
