Training Camps Filling Fast

The War Department has an
nounced that applications for ad
mission to the citizens military
training camps for the coming sum
mer have passed the 10000 mark.
AT this time last year 10000 had
not vet heen reached. 1t is antic-
ipated that applications throughout
the country this venr will exceed
generously the total for 1927, and
that a large number of candidates
will fail of admission because Of the
fact that Congress has appropriated
funds for the treining of only SO. 900
men.
The interest that Young Americans
Are showing in military training i,
gratifying, quite aside from the fact
that the training camps are provid.
ing for a nation prepared in Ilme Of
emergency. Indirect benefits 10 be
obtained through the courses offered
are many. The physical condition
of those participating is heltered
Teamwork and discipline are taught
The rudiments of certain trades are
learned. Those who participate in
trai ling camp aclivies gain in self
reliance, puncluslity and many
other factors working for success in
life.
With the prospect that many
young men will be denied this train
ing, Congress should provide more
ample funds for training camps
The government reaps a handsome
return from the investment. - Wash
