Making Yourself Stronger
The nine qualities which have just
been reviewed are those which every
one of us would like to have for him
self. They are the essentials Of. .yirile
and successful manhood, whether in
the army or out of it. Even the moral
weakling and the, Stacker in their
hearts admire these qualities. 80.
Doubtless you have developed some
Of them already--perhaps all of them
to greater or less extent. Many
man has discovered, when put to the
test, that he possessed these qualities
without having himself realized It
But under civilion conditions 1t Is not
easy to cultivate all of them.
In the army you will have your op-
portunity in few months of training
to strengthen these qualities in your
self. In SO doing you will learn to
control yourself, to take care Of your
self under all conditions, to meet
hardship and danger unflinchingly, to
be fearless and self-relient. At the
end Of these few months Of training
you will have gained immensely in
vigor and in strength

NINE SOLDIERLY QUALITIES

entrenchments, training and care Of
horses, signalling, the handling Of
complex pieces of machineryk, and
many other subjects.
Any practical knowledge that you
may now possess will surely be useful
and helpful to you In the army. Capt.
Ian Hay Beth, Of the English Army.
points out that in the first British
forces of the present war the previous
trade or training ofAevery soldier was
sooner or later utilized
Cleanliness
Cleanliness Is important every
where, but most of all IN the army
where large bodies of men are
brought together. In its true sense, 1t
includes not only keeping your body
clean, but also your mind and your
actions. Fortunately, it is a virtue
in which Americans generally rank
high. There should be little difficulty
in setting a satisfactory standard in
the new army. This is a subject more
fully treated later in this course.
Cheerfniness
Z Cheerfulness is always prominent
trait of good soldiers. Here again
Americans may be counted upon te

face of any unexpected hardships OF
difficulties that may be ahead Of us
