U. S. Army and Its Work
V-Czens' Training Camps Are Providing Youth
OF Country With Desperately Needed Instruction.
BY CEN. JOHN J. PERSHINC.

outlooks in life. That is Americanism
in practice.
The improved attitude and the i'm
proved physical condition of the young
men attending these camps produce
better citizens and prepare a reservoir
of young men far more competent for
call or selection in case of emergency.
The health statistics that were
given out by the officers in charge of
the citizens military training camps
last Fall are most remarkable. In
the 9th Corps Area. 2.S38 students
from the States of California, Wash
ington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Ne
vada, Utah and Wyoming were gath
cred al five different camps. The
young men were given careful
physical examination when their
months training started and when 1t
finished 1t was found that these
2,S3S young men gained over three
tons in weight, or to be exact 2L
pounds each. One of the boys gained
during this short month IS pounds
in weight.
The average gain in chest eXpan-
sion of all these young men attend
ing camp in the 9Th Corps Area was
"A inches. The average gain in
height was .27 inches.
Camps Are Growing.
1t is most natural that the parents
of these young men who have been
fortunate enough to attend camp
should be enthusiastic about the
splendid results obtained at the
camp. 1t is most natural that each
year there should be more and more
applications to attend the citizens
military training camps. The time
is not far distant when, instead of
,i,,i, will
be training 10000 each year.
The records of the World War
showed that the health of the young
men of our Nation was not as good
as we expected. Out of every four
young men drafted one had to be
turned down for disability of some
kind. This serious situation must be
corrected. The most practical way of
accomplishing this is through the ex-
tension of the citizens military train
ing camp idea.
At the present time many of the
young men who apply are unable to
qualify physically. In these cases.
tactful letters are written by the Off
GERS in charge to the parents of the
young men, stating the cause for their
sons rejection and suggesting that
the family physician be consulted so
that the defects may be corrected. and
So lUdt the lnlS III Dc
physically improved to such an eX-
tent that he could attend the camp
next year.
The officers and enlisted men of the
Regular Army. National Guard and
the Reserves. who conduct these
training camps, are performing a
great national service. They have be
come skilled and proficient instruc-
tors in this farreaching task. There
is no governmental service so impor-
tant and lasting as the mental, moral
and physical welfare of our future
citizens.
1t is too early TO measure the bene-
fits to our country Of the Summer
camps. 1t is doubtful If their full
value can ever be adequately esti-
mated. But we do know that as a
result of them Americans are going
to be better citizens, and that the
America of the next generation is go
ing to be a better country than the
America of our generation.

Financing Is Unusual.
The MaCcabeeS' convention is unique
among large gatherings OF this char

larly in the manner in which it was
financed, Mr. Hall said.
I'VE have not and do not intend to
ask a cent of contribution to the con-
vention fund from any individual, bust
ness house or civic organization. 1t is
our convention, and we are paying all
the bills.
''All we ask of the people of Wash
