PRESIDENT PLEA
To j. s. YOUTH
Young Men Are Urged to Attend
Military Camps.
ASKS FOR 100000 A YEAR
Harding Explains That American Plan
Provides for Small Regular Army
to Be Augmented by Great
Citizen Forces.

Washington, June 14.-President
Harding urges every young man who
possibly can arrange to do so to at
tend one of the citizens military train
ing camps to be conducted by the War
department this summer. In a state
ment just made public he expresses
the hope that during his administra-
ton arrangements would be completed
for giving military training to at least
100000 young men each year.
The text of the statement is as fol-
lows:
Il hope every young man who can
arrange it will attend one of the citi-
zens' military training camps to be
conducted this summer by the War de
partment in each of the nine army
corps areas.
"In this way he will increase his
worth to the nation and obtain indi-
vidual benefits of priceless value to
himself and to the community in which
he lives.
Would Train 100000 Each Year.
81 hope to see established during my
administration a comprehensive sys-
TEN of voluntary military training for
at least 100000 men each year. Every
young man who is willing to prepare
himself for the defense of the country
should be given an opportunity to
do so.
"Our present national defense laws
established an economical and demo-
cratic military policy consistent with
our national traditions. 1t provides
for a small regular army to be aug
mented by great citizen forces in the
event of national emergency. This is
our traditional military policy.
Praises New Law.
But whereas in the past these
larger war forces have been extern
pCrized after the occurrence of an
emergency the new law wisely pro-
yides that the framework of this or
ganization shall be established and
developed in time of peace, in so far
as this is practicable, through the vol
untary services of our patriotic young
men. The army of the United States,
as defined by the new law, comprises
the regular army, the National Quad
1nd the organized reserves. Every pa
triotic citizen should encourage the de-
velOpment of these forces, each within
its proper sphere"

people are always asking me why
! don't quit tobacco, and I've always
noticed that the people who regard
my little innocent habit with disgust,
have worse ones of their own. Why
don't you quit wearing sidewhiskcrs,
when you must know that they jar
the nerves of the fastdtous, and make
you look like something that should
be in a museum? What sense is there
in wearing Sideboards? I'd be the
last to speak slightlngly of an infm-
ity or deformity. If you had game
leg or wry neck, my heart would be
full of sympathy for you. Such afIlic-
tons should not be Knocked or held
up to sCorn by any man; but nobody
needs to wear sldewhiskers. It's some-
thing that can easily be helped. You
shouldn't make caustIc remarks about
the tobacco habit until you have had
those fire escapes removed

about every other bad habit you can

years ago she read some English So
Ciety novels Those stories are full
of tea parties. A man reading them
would think the Britishers spent all
their time at tea fights.
Aunt Julia thinks that anything
British is entirely proper, and she got
the idea that you can't be fashionable
unless you consume a certain amount
OF tea. SO she blew herself for the
herb, and began drinking It. At first
she said it tasted like collie medicine

Washington, June 14.-Under a new
title and with material changes in its
features as approved by the house
the soldier bonus bill was laid before
the senate today for prompt enact
ment.
Announcement was made by Sena-
tor Penrose, chairman of the finance
committee, that he will move an
amendment that only actual fighting
men shall participate.
Known as McCumber Bill.
The new bill will be known MS the

sation bill, Calling it the soldiers
bonus bill stamps upon a just and
unQuestioned national moral obliga-
ton the designation 'gratuitN' the
report of the subcommittee says in eX-
planning the change in title.
In simple, plain English, the pur-
pose of the bin the report states, lis
to give to the soldier who offered his
life with his services a compensation
lhat will more nearly approach that
of the lGhorer who remained at home,
secure from danger, and whose COM
pensauon increased from POO TO 300
per cent.
Even on this basis the report adj
I mts the veterans still will be getting
! relatively far less for their risks and
hardships than laborers received in
/ their absence
The report expresses the hope that
in time this inequality will be re-
moved, but at present, it says, the de-
/ pleted state of the nations finances
will not permit.
Cost to Exceed $4396,ooo,ooo
According to estimates, the cost of
the adjusted compensation will be ST.

eran accepting cash, and $5,273, 10000

which run for 20 years. The commit
tee figures that the total cost will not
exceed S4,396,OOO, 600.
The bill provides that payments be-
gin July /, 1922. The report says in
the meantime congress and the treas
ury will adjust the governments tis-
cal deficits to meet the Increased liza
biltes The opinion also is expressed
that by reasonable economy he bill

LIBRARY RECEIVES
NORMAL ITEM

Among the treasures which are to
be found in our school library is file
of papers which is Of great interest to
all who are or were, at some time,
connected with the Normal School.
This file, which IS complete except for
three issues is the "Normal Item," the
school paper in 1892 and 1898. No
doubt our own Normal School Bud
get" is a descendent Of this little
paper. These issues of the Normal
Item" were some of Miss Perrine's
possessions. Just recently her sister,
Mrs. Mansell, very kindly gave them
to the school library. They are, in
deed, greatly appreciated and will al
ways be highly valued as relics of
the past.
This little paper was published
every two weeks by the students of the
Normal School, much on the same plan
as that Of the Budget" It is very
small sheet compared with it's sue
cessor being only about one-fourth Of
the size of the Budget.
Perhaps few quotations from the
"Item" would be of interest to "Bud-
get" readers. Let us go back over
the years to 1892 and 1898:
A foot bridge at the foot of Fifth
avenue is one of the most pressing
needs at the present time.
The kindergarten opened Tuesday,
October 10th, with Miss Amanda Mar,
man, of Minneapolis in charge. (This
seems to have been the beginning of
the Normal school kindergarten.)
The new piano for the school, a
Steinways Grand, is at the freight Of
flee. It is to be hoped it will soon be
in the beautiful assembly room.
In the issue for December Is, 1892
there is dedication program given
at the dedication of the main building
Of the Normal School. A picture of
the building as it was then accompan-
led the article in the paper and is most
interesting to look at.
In the issue of January Is, 1898, we
find the publication of two Atheneum
programs. These are. among the first
programs given by that society which
was organized shortly before. It.was
De first literary organization Of that
kind here at the Normal School, There
were Rhetorical classes that gave
programs from time to time very
much like those of our Dramatic Club
of the present time. 1t was noticed
that debating was favorite form Of
entertainment in the Atheneum society
and one Of the questions was to the
effect that all voters must pass a GER
tain examination before being allowed
to vote. It is interesting to know that
this question, really problem, was
being discussed nearly thirty years
ago.
There are many other interesting
things in these papers and the entire
school, as well as the library, appre-
ciates them very much.
