TELLS WHY CAMP GIRLS
SALUTE THOSE Who PASS
Mrs. Hugh L. Scott Says the Rule
Makes the Student More
Alert.

Why do the girls salute at the wom-
ans preparedness camp This phase
of the military discipline. which mas
caused some merrimcnt and some ri,ii-
Guile by outsiders. was explained pN
Mrs. Hugh L. Scott, honorary COM
mandant of the National Service
School and wife of the chief of stan
of the army. She said:
THE salute originated as a means
of exacting observation and immediate
action as result of that observation
and thus it is that A student walking
through the camp first notices that an
individual is approaching. and in doing
this must notice the insignia of rank
or it's absence. She then saiutes or
does not as the case may he.
Thus the girl is ma1e more alert
and has offered the official courtesy
due by order to Il certain degree or
rank. -
"And thus il is as we trace back TO
its source all of the official action that
seems TO the layman merely ceremo-
niouS aud often foolish. We find that
N has become merely what years of
experience has taught us is wise

Uncle Joe could not keep the tears
from his eyes when first he heard the
cheers that greeted him. They came
unexpectedly, during a roll CALL before
the speeches started. They interrupt
ed the speakers during the entire per-
formance. and were so real that when
it came time for Uncle Joe to speak. he
walked solemnly down the center aisle,
looked at the manuscript which he had
prepared to read-and then threw the
written speech away, and began a
regular Cannon talk, arms going and
feet never keeping still. The manu-
script speech may have been a good
one-but who can imagine Uncle Joe
reading a speech? The person who ha 5
