for our Officers Reserve because
they have net been trained to

accuracy in thinking. Too many
schools are satisfied with an approx
innate answer to a question. Little
or no incentive is given increased
mental effort to coordinate ones
ideas and present them clearly and
unequivo cally. Insistence upon
decision il thought and expression
must never be lost sight of. This
requires eternal vigilance on the
part of every teacher. 1t is next

to do much to counterfeit the neg
lieence of schools in this regard
This again has cost many men their
