BOARD OF INSTRUCTION.
Boards of instruction have been APP
pointed by adj. Gen. Presson, under
orders from Provost Marshal General
Crowder, to act IN connection with the
local boards.
The object OF these boards is to instruct,
encourage and inspire the men before
they are sent to camp. At present the
great majority are called to the colors
with absolutely no military training and
with very little, il any, special mental and
moral training. The task before the
boards OF instruction is to put the
selectiye service men into camp willing,
loyal, intelligent, clean and sober, and
mus to ut them better for rapid progress
