reported that already his country boys
from the remote farms are straighten-
ing and broadening morally. mentally
and physically, and that the improve
ment is really incalculable. From every
camp we hear of the eagerness with
which the men are doing their duty, of
their resourcefulness and of the real
patriotism which is being rapidly
learned. All this means not merely
good soldiers in war. but good citizens
IN peace; it means an immense growth
in the spirit of .Americanism. The
young men are learning to be efficient,
others: they are learning to scorn lazi-
ness. slackness and cowardice. All are
serving on precise equality Of privf-
lege and of duty and are judged each
only on his merits. The sons of the
foreign born learn that they are exactly
as good Americans as any one else, and
when they return to their home their
families will learn it, too.
Let all good Americans insist that
now. without delay, We make to e
of affairs our permanent national policy
by law. We have built the camp, we
have encountered the failures to pro-
vide army uniforms and blankets and
all the other exasperating delays which
are inevitable when a nation like ours
has foolishly trusted to broomstick
preparedness. We shall avoid all these
things for the future If we continue
these camps, as permanent features of
Tue ire OF all our young men, and
change the selective draft into a sys-
tenn of universal obligatory military
training for all our young men of nine
teen and twenty, it being understood
that they are not to go to war until
they are twenty-one. We are now suf-
fering and the whole world is now suf-
fering from the effects Of our broom
stick preparedness. Let us do away
with broomstick preparedness for the
future and substitute real prepared
ness.

The training camps for the drafted

factories for turning out first-class
American citizens. Not only are they
fitting our people for war; they are Mt

are making patriotism, love of coun-
try, devotion to the flag and sense or
duty to others living facts. instead OF
unreal phrases. The public schools are
laboratories of Americanism for our
children; the training camps are
laboratories of Americanism for our
young men.
