In his instructions, Mai Gen Hugh L.
Scott. chief of staff, says:
A Measure of Defense.
The ultimate object sought is not
military aggrandizement. but to ma ke
provision, in some degree. to meet
vital need confronting US as peaceful
and unmilitary people, to the end that
peace and prosperity may be preserved
| through the only safe precaution. viz,
preparation and equipment to resist
any effort to break such peace
Students are to pay their own travel
ing and mess expenses and to supply
their own uniforms, the department
having no funds to meet this expense
Chief of Staff's Circular.
In circular giving the regulations
for the attendance of young men at
the student camps, Gen. Scott explains
the purposes of the proposed military
instruction as follows:
In permitting the attendance OF
young men at camps for troops of the
regular army, the object is to give
them opportunity for short course lr
military training, the better to III
them to discharge their military duty
should their country ever stand In neet
of their services. Summer is selected
to enable them to attend with the
least Inconvenience and greatest In
structional advantage.
I'm addition to the patriotic motive
there are the physical benefits to be
derived from the active, healthfui, out
door life of a military camp. Tht
broad adening influences of intimate as
sociati with the life of the regular
army, the opportunity for athletic con
tests and the novelty of the experience
itself will contribute variety ana IN
