May 31, 1929 WILMETTE LIFE Cites Values to N. T. Freshmen Prepare for Oratorical Contest Youth of Country Ten New Trier freshmen were at Citizens' C am.p entered in the preliminaries of the By Mabel H. Herrick (Past State Regent, Illinois Daughters of the American Revolution) Last summer it was my privilege to spe~d. a day at the Citizens' Military Trammg ~amp at Fort Sheridan. There I fgund a ~troup of young men studying ~ilitary tactics. They apparently enJOyed not only the mental but the physical opportunities which this study afforded them.

Military tactics have a very definite and practical value in civilian life. Entir~ly apart from any military activity, they are of great help in developing business leC!_dership and in the solving of industrial problems. This training also teaches loyalty and obedience to superiors in in_ d ustrial affairs. All of these things demonstrate the value of this training, entirely apart freshman oratorical contest scheduled for Friday, M~y · 31.
