College Versus Army Methods of
BY WOODS HUTCHINSON, VI. d.
TOO MUCH c CONSERVATION.
By James j. Montague.
I raining for Recruits

one frequently hears the express
sion from army and navy recruits.
The first few weeks they pretty
nearly killed us; drill. duty and
fatigues of one sort or another ali
day long and no let-up or leave. Now
we have a much easier time of it
and can get leave whenever we like,
in reason" In other words. the army
method puts the recruit under the
heaviest pressure and the severest
strain when he is weakest and
greenest and relaXes the pressure
when he has shown that he is able
to survive it,
AS for the arguments for and
against the two methods there is
simply no comparison. Almost all
the findings of science. nearly every
consideration based upon experience
ment is in favor Of the college
trainer and physical director plan.
The difference between them is that
one has been carefully thought out
and intelligently planned and ad-
justed, the other simply inherited
from the past As Kipling sings,
For the back bone OF the army is
the non commissioned man" And
while the brains of an army may di-
rect its strategy and its sanitation,
il is the backbone which seems TO
direct its drilling and training along
lines which were ancient and hoary
in the days of Frederick the Great
Yet the results of both methods
are good in eighty-fve percent OF
all cases. even better perhaps in the
army than in the colleges, because
the army takes over not merely the
physical training of the soldier but
his whole life. his clothing, his food
his shelter and sanitation. The only
question is as TO whether equally
good results in even a short time
could not be obtained in the arml
! by the college method with les
| friction and less danger of waste o
good material.
