does one become natural leader.
"a great number of men have fail
ed at camp because of inability to
articulate clearly. A man who can
not impart his idea to his command in
clear, distinct language, and with SUI
ficient volume of voice to be hear
reasonably far, is not qualified to give
commands upon which human life will
depend. Many men disqualified by
this handicap might have become of
ficers under their country's flag had
they been properly trained in school
and college. 1t is to be hoped there
fore that more emphasis will be
placed upon the basic principles of
elocution in the training Of our youth.
Even without prescribed training in
elocution, a great improvement could
be wrought by the instructors in our
schools and colleges, regardless of the
subject, insisting that all answers be
given in loud, clear, well-rounded
voice; which Of course, necessitates
the opening of the mouth and free
movement of the lips. 1t is remark
able how many excellent men suffer
from this handicap, and how almost
impossible it is to correct this after
the formative years of life"
In this connection Gen. Mccain also
discusses the slouchiness of mental
attitude, bearing, and grit This dis
cussion will be reproduced in full in
this column next week.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES.

The March teachers examination
was very lightly attended, only
twenty-one applicants enrolling.
There has been a rapid decline in the
number of applicants for teachers
certificates each year for the last
three years. Time was when from
eighty to one hundred prospective
teachers would put in an appearance
at the March examination.
Hardly day passes over our heads
but that a keener appreciation of the
responsibilities and possibilities of the
school is realized. The art of the
teacher is one for unlimited develop
ment. A respect much akin to rever-
ence is due the teacher endowed by
natural talent backed up by the skill
acquired through faithful and devoted
training. AS touching uopn the vari-
Gus and multitudinous demands Of
this age upon the schools, is here
quoted from SCHOOL LIFE the con-
tention of a military observer as re-
ported by Adjt. Gen. H. P. Mccain:
"Perhaps the most glazing fault
noted in aspirants to the Officers Re-
serve SOTpS anu one IndI HiBHI NC
corrected by proper attention in our
high schools, preparatory schools and
colleges, might be characterized by
the general word 'slouchiness.' refer
to what might be termed mental and
physical Indifference. have observed
at camp many otherwise excellent
men who have failed because in our
school system sufficient emphasis is
not placed upon the avoidance of this
mental and physical handicap. In the
work of the better Government mill
tary schools of the world this slack
ness in thought, presentation and
bearing is not tolerated because the
aim of all military training is accu-
roy. At militry camps throughout
the country mental alertness, accu-
racy in thinking and acting, clearness
in enunciation, sureness and ease of
carriage and bearing must be insisted
upon, for two reasons: That success
may be assured as nearly as human
effort can guarantee it with the mate
rial and means at hand, and that
priceless human lives may not be
criminally sacrificed. Only by the
possession of the qualities referred to

have been, but it is very acceptable to
the boys.
Those who are now in the service
or who have been discharged but have
not received their final pay, will re-
ceive this additional amount with
their final pay voucher and without
making any claim for same, as we
understand it. Those who have left
the service and have received their
final pay, will forward claim for such
bonus direct to the Zone Finance Off
Ger, Lemon Building, Washington, D.
c., who is hereby designated to settle
such claims. Such applications must
contain the discharge certificate, or
order for discharge or relief, if no
certificate was issued, but both certi-
ficate and order if both were issued;
the paper bearing endorsement of
final payment being required; state
ment of all military service since
April 9th, 1917, showing place and
date of reporting at first military sta
ton, and address to which check is
sent. When settlement is made all
personal papers will be returned to
applicant with check. No further
correspondence is necessary, except
to advise of change in address of APP
plicant.
