CLOSE ORDER DRILLS
ARE GIVEN Review

CAMP JACKSON. s. c.. Aug. IS
Following week of field training,
the last three days, which began
Monday morning, were devoted to a
review of close order drills and to
tests designed to prove the degree of
efficiency attained by each candidate
preparatory to the graduation and de-
mobilization Of the camp on Wednes-
day. From present indications, more
than one thousand young men repre-
senting eight states of the southeast,
South Carolina, North Carolina, Ala
bama, Florida, Mississippi, Tennes-
see, Georgia and Florida, will sue
cessfully complete the training course
and will be given certificates which
will entitle the bearer to enter the
next higher course in the military
training camps next year. 1t is the
hope of leading military authorities
that the training camps next year
will be greatly enlarger and that the
course will be onpen to all young men
who hold certificates of eligibility.
One of the best features of this
camp has been the spirit of competi-
ton between companies and between
platoons and squads within compa-
MES. For every competition, cadets
have worked extraordinarily we'll in
dividually and collectively and with
much organization esprit. In the
baseball championship, in the field
day and track meet, and at drill and
shooting competitions, organization
team work has characterized each
event.
