THE MILITARY SALUTE

Major General Muir has issued the fol-
lowing memorandum concerning the sa-
lutte.
OFFICERS and enlisted men in the mill
tary service salute as a mark OF their
profession. It is distinct mark OF the
man in the service. When an officer or
enlisted man salutes superior officer. he
is showing his respect for the position,
the rank held by that officer Above all,
the salute is a mark of politeness and is
In keeping with the injunction contained
in Army Regulations, Paragraph 4, first
line, that Courtesy among military men
is indispensable to discipline"
The salute is in keeping with the
ordinary amenities of social military life;
It is means OF acknowledging recogni-
ton. Not to salute is to ignore the pres
ence of a superior, which is as fragrant
q discourtesy as for civilian to ignore
the immediate presence W some one with
civil society, it is lack Of discipline" in
military life. Civilians who meet greet
each other by various salutations In the
military service this salutation is definite
and exact, and is described as follows:
Raise the right hand smartly till
the tip of the forefnger touches the
lower part Of the headdress or fore
head above the right eye, thumb and
fingers extended and Joined palm to
the left, forearm inclined at about
forty-five degrees, hand and wrist
straight; at the same time look to-
ward the person saluted. Drop the
army smartly by the side.'
1t is not only incumbent upon military
men to salute, but 1t Is vitality essential
to discipline that they be on the alert to
note the presence of each other. Not to
recognize the presence of a superior by
junior or of a junior by a superior within
saluting distance is to neglect to exer-
else that alertness SO essential to the
trained officer or enlisted man. 1t has
been the expressed opinion of all military
leaders since time began that military
men should recognize the physical pres
ence of each other. This recognition is as
incumbent upon the senior as upon the
junior. The law exacts from the senior
the same preciseness and exactness of ex-
ecuton in rendering the military salute
as it does the Junior In order to be
sure that recognition is obtained, the reg
ulation places upon the junior the duty
OF what one might call speaking first, ?"
which in military terms means to salute
first The true meaning of the salute,
when made by an officer or enlisted man,
is an unexpressed statement to this eff
feet: q am a soldier and / recognize you
to be one, superior in rank to myself

That's just the Kind he is botherng

All was silent in the trench for a time.
And you think He can help a guy

He can turn me into the kind of a guy

Just trust Him and ask Him for

moment, and the two reached for each

young soldier.

The Surgeon General also endorses
the tests
The purpose of these tests as out
lined by Major Yerkes is as follows;
(a) TO aid In segregating and elini-
mating the mentally incompetent; CD
to classify men according to their
mental capacity; (c) TO assist in Sc
lecting competent men for responsible
positions.
"In the opinion of this office these
reborts indicate very definitely that
the desired results have been achieved.
Scores OF drafted men mentally incom-
petent, have been identified by the
psychological tests much earlier in
their military careers than would nave
otherwise occurred. The classified
ton Of men according to mental abil-
tty, as determined by these examina-
tions, has corresponded, in general in
a very striking way with the estimates
previously made by officers familiar
with them, and many instances could
be mentioned where men selected for
responsible positions solely on their
psychological records had fully justi-
fled that selection.
'The success of this work in large
series of observations some 5000 Off
GERS and $4,000 men, makes 1t rea-
SOnably certain that similar feSultS
may be expected If the system were
extended to include the entire enlisted
and drafted personnel and to all newly
appointed officers"
School of Military Psychology
A school of military psychology will
be established at the medical officers
training camp at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga,
where about so psychologists will be
entered monthly for minimum of two
months training in the subjects which
they should know for the practice of
their speciality under military condi-
lions. On the staff of the command
ant of the medical officers training
camp fill be a senior instructor in
detailed to the work by the
Surgeon General on recommendation
of Major Yerkes, head of the section
of PSYCHOLOGY. General military and
physical instruction will be given the
student and in addition, much instruc-
tion in military psychology as the or
ganization and administration of psy-
Geological examining, the practice of
group and individual examination
types Of mental incompetents, ma
lingering and it's detection, etc.

PSYCHOL 0GlCAL TESTS FOR
ARMY MEN

Following the article of Captain Ry
man, published last week in Trench
and Camp, Colonel Shaw's report of
inspection Of Major Yerke's work will
be of interest.
Value Of the Tests.
THE value of these psychological
tests as an indication of mental ca
pacity cannot be definitely determined
at present; further comparison must
be made of officers estimates and the
performance of the men with psychol-
ogical scores The general opinion at
Camp Lee is distinctly favorable.
There is nothing novel or expert
mental in the principle of applying
psychological tests as a means of de-
termining practical very-day mental
capacity. They have been repeatedly
made us of heretofore among big bus
mess concerns, with results indicated
in dollars and cents saved. The value
of the work of Major Yerkes and HIS
assistants consists in devising mental
tests of such nature as to serve
as a practical index of the intelli-
gence Of men in the military service.
If the results Of the work at Camp Lee
are borne out at other places, 1t must
be admitted that Major Yerkes has
been eminently successful"
General Cronkhite Gives the follow
ing endorsement:
1T may be revolt ionary, bat the
psvchiatric boards intelligence tests
will play great part of this division
These tests are virtually conclusive.
they have proved so In thousands Of
cases. And men who show high in
tellIgence rating will be watched close
Twill be given every chance for ad-
vancement Their daily work viii be
taken into consideration, and il they
deserve promotion they will get It,
This is the program from top to bot
tom, officers and privates."
