L9 " camps. are each year becoming more popular . with the young â€" men of America. The present year brings the tenth anniversary of this patriotic institution which is constantly , makâ€" ing better Americans of thof who take the training. In an inte esting story‘ on the life in the training ¢amps, and the purpose of the trainâ€" ing, Mr. Hancock Adams says in the current issue of the National Repubâ€" lie: HANCOCK ADAMS IN PRAISE OF C.M.T.C. "Citizens‘ military camps .celebrate this summer their tenth birthday. Paâ€" triotic Americans who answered the call of country in 1915, to drop their civilian clothes to go to Plattsburgh as one of two or three thousand civilâ€" ian "rookies" have turned over the :orch to the young men who accept Uncle Sam‘s invitation for a month of citizenship training in these camps held from New England to California. Established soon after the World war as a feature of the plan for domestic security, as laid down in the national defense act of 1920, these camps have now become a recognized American institution. Their value long ago has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of all except the pacifists and the nonâ€" patriots. â€" They can look forward to a life as long as that of the American people and their institutions. * Into Every Corner "The camps reach out into even the smallest communities of the land. The boy from the east or west side of New York finds as his tent mate the counâ€" try‘ youngster from the little hamlet ‘ up state, a boy perhaps who has never seen the bright lights of a city. The son of well to do parents, on his way to one of the big eastern univerâ€" sities, stands shoulder &shovlder with the boy who must g ‘work to earn his own livelihood..at sixteen. Democracy is the. keynote of the :amps, democracy combined with citiâ€" zenship and devotion to flag and :ountry. f ‘Are Real Benefit "The camps are what their name implies. The routine is that of out of door life, far away from school or business, or the distraction and turâ€" moil of the city. Young Americans of all kinds are fond of camping; they inberit even today something of the spirit of the frontiersman, and the eitizens‘ camps give them a taste of the simple country life and the breezes of the great out of doors. "The camps are training camps, too. The educational aim is never lost sight of by the army instructors who have charge of the military and athâ€" letic instruction of the boys. They ofâ€" fer something different from the ordiâ€" ‘ nary vacation. Work is the rule, not idieness." Quite Possible If you undertake, all by yourself, to make over an old farm house into a modern country home, you are apt to realize that Ignorance is Blisters. â€"â€"The Country Home.
