The fotolwing essay from North
Carolina won first place:
Why a Boy I Know Should Enter a
Military Training Camp
The boys of the world, like all Gaul
are readily divisible into three ulvi
sions. Boys unsullied by bad habits
constituta~one; boys so hardened that
only exterme experiences can change
them from the other; and fiaally,
those boys who may be led Into either
ot the two divisions above according
to training and envlroment.
Taken from the last mentioned
grpup is a boy approaching the fork
roads of life; he will willingly go
either way, and the temptation of the
downward path Is strong. At this point
in any young man's life there should
be a tiding agency; a saving institu
tion which will Intervene and morally
support him until his footing is cer
tain. This great government of ours
has seen fit to expend time and money
to provide Just such a haven of succor
>r the youth of the land in establish
i... Military Training Camps.
"Is hardly fair to pronounce this
man producing agency a mili
li- ; raining camp as It is not re
<11::. : ' of any boy that he join the re
serverf oven. The benefits to be de
r've'l f:vm the camp are threefold;
the character; discipline and robust
ness developed there will be remember
0<1 long after the military feature is
forgotten.
It would be hard to conceive of a
belter outing to be offered any boy
even if expenses were incurred in ob
taining it, but it is free and the offer
ihgs are many, such a physical train
ing. daily military practice, recrea
tion in form of best atheletic activi
ties. dancing, music, and the very best
of scientifically prepared foods, just
such an outing as the wealthy man of
today pays hundreds of dollars for
and in doing so knows that his son
will be greatly benefitted. Again the
"Dollar Camp" Is devoid of the crown
ing asset that is featured by Uncle
Ham's camp, that of religious and m?r*l
sumIod without which neither camp
nor B&y can be completely successful.

these markets a good place to secure
