Support Is Assured as Result
of Recent Conference on
American Youth.

Adoption of the Washington
high school cadet organization by
secondary educational institutions
throughout the country, now un-
equipped for military training, was
the outstanding result of the
recent Conference on the Ameri-
can Youth, called by Secretary of
War Weeks, it was learned
today. 9.
Assured OF Success.
Brig. Gen. William Lassiter, in
charge of military training work.
who took a prominent part in the
conference proceedings. today, said
he is receiving communicate tons
from all sections Of the United
States, assuring him of the meet
ing's success and voicing approval
Of the Washington cadet system.
1t Is the unspoken intention of
the War Department that the local
method of military training shall
supplant Junior units of the Re-
serve Officers Training Corps.
THE schools must settle this
among themselves" said General
Lassiter." There will be no change,
for the present at least, in r. o.
T. c. work. The War Department
will not seek to hinder going
concern. We believe, however, that
tn various schools will work out
Of one or many methods into the
Washington high school plan Of
training"
Blow TO r. O. T. C. Advocates.
The conference was a blow to ad-
vocates of the junior r. o. T. c.
units. 1t was brought out during
the meeting that $12,000,000 was
needed by that organization for
uniforms alone, and the uniforms
must be bought by the Government.
In numberless cases, the r. o. r.
c. apparel was far from satisfac-
tory. as II is Identical with that
doled out to army recruits. Another
objection was that the uniforms are
not distinctive, and give rise to
"playing soldier" remarks from
strangers.
The conference brought out the
important fact that $4,000, 900 would
be needed to supply the 1920 sec
ondary schools Of the nation with
uniforms for the approximate at
tendance Of 100000 youths. An ad'
ditional detail of 1000 army Of
Ulcers as instructors would be re.
ouired, and this would be difficult
