ties are IN progress in some stage look
ing to the formation of these boy units.
The work in any given state is begun
only after the governor of that state
has had the plans of the organization
laid before him, and he has given these
plans his approval and has accepted
place on the honorary board of state
governors.
On the advice of the national coun-
Gilman for the state state council
Is formed, composed of one representa-
tive citizen from each county. Under
the guidance of the county members of
the state council local councils are
formed, and these constitute the big
brother" committees Tor the Urganiza-
ton of boy units. The national council
participates in the selection of the ad-
visory board, which through its eXecu'
tive committee directs the affairs Of
the organization. This committee,
known as the executive board con-
sttutes IA commission form of govern
ment," deemed almost practical and
effective in carrying on a nationwide
movement, such as the junior naval re-
serve has become.
Helped by Specialists.
The executive board is aided in the
performance Of its duties by small con-
sulting boards of specialists, represent
ing many lines. For example, there
are a military board and boards Of
navigation, finance, hygiene, athletics,
aviation, publicity and so on. The men
who lend their cooperation in these
small committees are carefully chosen
and are representative opponents Of
specialized thought. Thus it will be
seen that there is an adult civic or
ganizatiOn on the one hand and
junior or cadet organization on the
other hand. Working along parallel
lines to these two ideas are parents
associations which complete an inter-
esting triangle and lend simultaneous
ly greater strength to the mems com
mittee and the boys unit. Local, state
and national auxiiaucs Of women are
a part of the general scheme.
While the civic organization is be-
Ing perfected within a state, the mill
tary-naval structure is being created
through the advice of naval and MILL
tary members of the Junior Naval Re-
serve. comforting with the state adJu.
