The plan has my warmest ap-
proval, and should have the hearty
support OF those dealing with boy
life. In this great country OF ours
there must be 100000 boys under |
military age, and 1t cannot be doubt
ed that tho majority OF these will |
be eager and proud TO be given the |
privilege Of doing something sub
stantial in the way OF service and |
sacrifice for their several million |
big brothers under arms"
