instructors in northern Montana high
schools were at the camp to help with
this work, these instructors including
Walters of Chouteau, Winger Of
Blaine, Scott of Blaine and Woodbridge
of Hill. College extension specialists
also aided in demonstration work,
the stock judging being under the
direction of R. B. Millin of the state
college.
The second day in camp, Coach
Graves found a "swimmin' hole for
the boys in Beaver creek, back of the
experiment station. Each afternoon
a squad of boys under the supervision
of instructors, made a run for the
swimming hole and held high sport.
Some of the boys from the northern
Montana farms showed unusual abil-
ity at swimming and diving.
Studied Forts History
Boys, true to nature, looked up and
soon learned the better points of his
tory about Fort Assinniboine. Most
any boy at the camp could point out
Squaw Butte and Black Butte and
tell how, between these two eleva-
lions, a fierce battle ragged between
the Sioux and Arickarees many years
ago. They could also point out the
famous Saddle Butte with it's deep
cleft made, according to Indian lore,
by the passage " the butte of mil
lions of buffalo. The old fort soon
developed the fact that General Per-
shing had at one time been stationed
there, as a second lieutenant. The
boys promptly made up a message of
greetings to the famous commander
and wired him regards from his old
post. There was a grand jubilee in
camp when a telegram from Wash
ington showed that General Pershing
had appreciated the remembrance
from northern Montana.
There were points about the Fort
Assinniboine camp which brand it as
model for such camps in this state.
Some of the points seem trivial to
but are all-important to boys.

encouraged. Cots were provided for
the sleeping rooms in the barracks
and served the purpose well, although
many of them were unable to stand
under the common vigOr OF box
ing and wrestling that sometimes oc-
around and over them.
Camp Self-Governed
Discipline in the camp was obtain
I'd without o~stentation and with the
approval of all the boys. In fact, the
was largely self-governed. The
boys had their own forum, presided
over by their own leader, Maurice
Montgomery. They put and carried
,r defeated their own ideas with all
he care and attention of older men.
The boys were interested in and en-
.husiastic about this forum, and pick
ID up parliamentary rules speedily.
The camp combined play and study
n proper proportions. The organiza-
ion of athletic teams, mainly by
counties, served to stimulate interest
n sports. Many boys played base
,all, football and volley ball for
heir first time at this camp. A
celebration" was held by the big
Phillips county aggregation when

The farm boys camp held at Fort
Assinniboine, near Havre, July Is tc
%, was perhaps He most successful
camp of it's kind ever held in the
state. according to officials of the
Montana state college at Bozeman.
The success of the camp was due in
part to the great number of boys en-
rolled and the opportunity for greater
mass study and play, and also to the
work and energy of A. ]. Ogaard,
crops and soils specialist of Montana
experiment service, who had charge
of the camp.
During the 10 days of the camp,
156 boys were enrolled. 1t is worthy
of note that every boy who enrolled
at the camp was there until the last
day. Boys were checked up at least
three or four times a day by the camp
officials and in no instance was there
a case of any boy being missing from
the camp for any reason.
To handle this number of boys, MI.
Ogaard enrolled the specialists in
northern counties and men from the

vited.
Numbers Instead of Names
The boys at Fort Assinniboine were
divided into companies, a boy captain
being elected in each company. This
captain vas in charge of the forma-
lions of his men and under the SUI
pervision of one of the camp in
structors. Each boy was given a
camp number and answered to this
number throughout camp; many of
the boys being known by their num-
bers.
One day a small fracas developed
neal the sleeping barracks. One cry
ing boy came to Coach Graves with
the complaint that number so-and-so
had kicked him in the back. "And
number such-and-such saw him do
t." the boy said. He knew the num-
bers, but not the names of those boys.
The system of numbering seemed
ideal for such a camp, as the boys
lined up by numbers and counted
in a few minutes.
One interesting development at the
camp was the method of obtaining
discipline. Boys who became frac-
tious or who broke n of the few
rules of camp, were punished by be-
ing called for Kitchen police duty"
No doughboy of the world war ever
knew better the meaning of tx. P"
than did the 1876 boys at the annual
farm boys camp at Fort Assinni-
boine.
100 Per Cent Perfect
One youngster came to Mr.. Ogaard
the last day of the camp with the
proud remark that he did not get ga
special X. P. during camp"
His pride vas in a behavior 100 per
cent perfect. Kitchen police" for
the boys meant the cleaning of the
kitchen and dining room, the washing
and drying of eating utensils and the
general cleanliness of quarters. While
this duty normally lasted but 20 min
utes to a half hour each time, it was
a means of holding a high regard
for camp discipline.
The moving picture shows, twice
and sometimes three times a day,
great favor with the boys. The
big assembly hall at the fort was
used for the projection of moving
pictures. Comedies, Institutional
reels and other forms of moving pic
followed in a fine variety. Be-
lore each show the boys would take
1 few minutes under direction of
Miss Mignon Quaw of the state col
ege to do some community singing
ind some competitive noisemaking
by companies.
Agricultural Subjects Taught
