SO far in this course we have been
taking up some of the problems which
each soldier has to face and solve for
himself; how to adjust himself as
quickly as possible to the routine of
camp life; how to keep himself and
all his belongings clean in spite of the
difficulties in the way; how to look af-
! ter his own health and comfort; how
to take care of arms and equipment;
and how to get real enjoyment, as well
as benefit out of army life.
! If the course were to stop Just at

O. false impression. For after all, the
soldier is not an individual player in
the great game of war; he Is valuable
chiefly as a member of team. 1t is o
team of enormous size. 1t is organized
in rather complicated way. This team
we call the Army.
