In pointing out the advantages of at tending the camps, either the enlisted reserves or the citizens military train ing camps. Major le>pex called attention to the fact that either camp offered a splendid vacation to young men without any coat to them at all. as the govern explained that attendanoe at these camps where the latest methods of military life were taught, was the best means of obtaining konwledge of healthful living and daily customs as well as procuring promotion from private to non-commis sioued officer and in turn the securing of a commission. The camps arc conducted on a very j highly systematized plan, it was stated, nnd no men of little or no military ex perience were placed in groups where they would be expected to do the work of more experienced or reasoned soldiers. Each entrant to the camps is classified according to his military experience and placed in a similar group. 1 {The courses, it was pointed out, are I divided into four schools, the Red, Ad vanced Red. White mid Blue.

Major Lopez declared that many young men were under the impression that at these camps it was "all work and no play" and that they were under the discipline of strict military rules. He wished to correct this impression and said, “while it is true that all must serve according to mllifary discipline, there is nothing unpleasant about it, and men are treated as real men. There is much effort exerted on the part of the regular army officers in charge of these camps to make the trainiug pleasant as wel las instructive, ami a gread deal of the time is spent in sports and games of real enjoyment and rfther social and pleasant entertainments are provided for the men.” Young men of North Carolina, he stated, that attend theme camps will be sent to various places, according to the branch of service that they choose.
