NATIONAL GUARD
YOUNG MANS CLUB
KEPT UP BY STATE

Chicago. ILL.,. July 14.-Plans to
make the national guard in Chi
cago "a young mans club support
ed by the state" are being develop
ed by the Chicago national guard
commission recently appointed by
Governor Frank o. Lowden.
ITO recruit the national guard
as automatically as possible BY
making the service intrinsically
worth while is what we are aiming
at" said George o. Fairweather Of
the University of Chicago today.
Mr. Fairweather is vice chairman
II the commissions educational
ommittee.
STRESS Is to be placed on social
and educational features rather
than on the military" he said. in
place Of having a group Of men
doing simply drill duty, we hope
to lay out program which will
appeal to the Imagination and de-
velop all sides Of the man. Incl
dentally, he will be q soldier and
available for duty. We seek to get
the best men possible into the
guard.
The men in the national guard
are usually keen, eager fellows.
but as q rule they have not had a
chance to broaden their views out
side Of the particular business in
which they are engaged. The dis
cussions and instruction we hone
Ito develop will give these young
men . background which will en-
able them to talk on any Of the
problems Of the day with inteIu-
gence and exactness and to become
versed In subjects that will be Of
benefit to themselves and the COM
munity."
Mr.. Fairweather said II was not
the commissions aim to force upon
the soldier-student the ideas Of the
Instructors or Of any particular
textbook, but to give the men Of
the regiments what they want, and
that the frst effort would be to
learn what this was.

curing the services Of George w.

! cational system Of the United States
