C "How can I render the most valuable service to my country during the war, before I am call ed to tlie colors?" F.very yourg man under the draft age is a.-k- ,n" question. ."ess of this advice. loung men who become of draft age soon (whether IS or should enter a good college in September, and devote them selves completely to the physical, mental and military preparation required by the great job they will be called upon to perform. They should not think that be cause the time may be short un til they are called they should do nothing but WAIT. Nor should they be tempted now to accept an unusually remunerative job. A new condition confronts our young men. In the immediate future they are going to fight. Money is not what they need for that. Training, preparation is their supreme and only need. The best training camps for early preparation, the Govern ment has learned from experi ence, are the colleges. So its ad vice to young men is clear and emphatic: "Enlist in the colleges now. Stay there until I call you; make a hundred per cent job of it while you are there. The question how long you are to stay, whether a month, six months, or a year need not con cern you. I'll let you stay as long as I can. It is to my advant age as much as to yours for you to get all the training possible." This is clearly the thing for young men not yet called into service to do, both from the standpoint of personal advantage and patriotism. Public spirited men and wo men may be of great service by bringing the importance of this matter to the attention of their young friends, and by helping them through loans (protected by insurance) if they lack the means to go. "By enlisting in the Students Army Training Corps you will become a member of the United States Army. You will receive a uniform and be given military drill under officers detailed by the War DepartmenL During the early part of your course you I will receive ten hours of military instruction per week, six of which will be drill, rifle pratice, and other outdoor training and four of which will be academic work, for which military credit is given, such as mathematics, English, foreign languages, his tory, science, etc. You will be carefully rated both by the col lege authorities and by the mil itary officers who will help you discover a special line of mil itary service for which you have the greatest capacity and prefer- lence. Later in your course you I will have an opportunity to speci alize in a branch of training de signed to fit you to become an officer of field artillery, medical or engineer officer, an expert in some technical or scientific, ser vice and so on. On reaching the draft age you must register with your local board. You may remain in col lege until your call is reached un der the Selective Service Law. At that time it will be decided whether you will be called im mediately to active service or j whether you should remain in' college to complete the course j you are pursuing. The decision ' summer camp for intensive train will depend upon your achieve- ing. Y'our travelling expenses ments in your military work and ! to and irom camp will be paid in your studies as determined by the military officers at the col lege and by the college authori ROfEMARY rrnsQNAL AND ft V .
