Leniâ€" han, commanding the Sixth Corps Area. Training camps affected by this anâ€" nouncement and the numbers of C. M. T.C. students to be enrolled at each are: Fort Sheridan, I!L., 1600; Camp Custer, Mich., 750; Ft. Brady, Mich., 250; Camp McCoy (Sparta)‘ Wis., 250; Jefferson Barracks, Mo., 1600; of which 1100 will come from the Sixth Corps area; and Fort Snelling, Minn., 1800, of which 350° will come from the Sixth Corps area. Grow Each Year These camps are provided for unâ€" der Séction 47d of the National Deâ€" fense Act of 1920 and have been growing each year. During the past six years there have been more than one hundred and sixty five thousand enrolments and so © poular have the camps become that forty of them will be established by the govâ€" ernment this season. 1 Transportation to and from camp, ‘ wholesome food, as well as uniforms, | athletic equipment, laundry service and camp facilities are furnished free | by the government.

More and more it is becoming unâ€" derstood that military instruction is not the exclusive goal of the C. M. T. Camps. Such fundamentals as orâ€" der, neatness, punctuality, ‘courtesy, and a willing obedience to lawful auâ€" thority are made the basis of camp routine, and as a consequence Citiâ€" zenship Training is becoming an outâ€" standing feature.
