The place was the Great Lakes Naval Training Station; the time a summe!'s afternoon during the World War. Impressive to the point oi awe-- inspiring was the scene that greeted the eye. Forty--three thousand naval recruits, smartly uniformed in* white, stood rigidly at attention, Lieutenant Commander, John Philip Sousa, in-- ternationally famous bandmaster, in a graceful gesture raised his baton. There pealed forth from the naval band of 'a thousand pieces the sonor-- ous strains of the national anthem rendered with patriotic fervor. Arms were presented. A moment of tense silence ensued. There was a thrill of pride. And then the air was rent With tumultuous applause from the mighty concourse of spectators pres-- ent. > It will never be difficult to form a correct estimate of the value of the contribution the Great Lakes Naval Training Station-- made to the win-- ning of the war.

Hugh W, Fisher of the comman-- dant's office at the Great Lases nay-- al traiping station, recently wrote a very comprehensive history of the station, telling bow it was launched and giving an accurate account of its activities, especially during the wat period. It was one of the most in teresting and probably the most au thentic review ever given of the loe-- war Great Lakes aided in recruiting. assisted in promoting the' fotation of Liberty Loans, and heliped 'dovolop a high morale and spirit of 'patriotism among the people of the interior states, thus stimulating their whole hearted support of the war. -- ° s --o--- -- 'The origin of Great Lakes in itself forms a most interesting chapter in the story of its development. It was founded as the result of uncommon judgement and foresight. It took the Spanish--American War to demon-- strate that the great Midwest fur-- nished the ideal type df naval recruit. Paradorical as it may seem, the farms, villages and cities of the in-- land states, far removed from the al station, written in siyle that characterizes Fisher's efforts. seacoast, gaye to the Navy --a highly superior type of young men 'to man its ships. <It was to encourage the enlistment of tbhese boys of the Mid-- west--to give them an opportunity to secure their first naval-- training near their homes--also to farnish a econcrete means of vtmllslnfi the Navy to the people of this section of the country, that the Congress of the United St#tes and the Navy Depart ment. wisely decided upon the estab ment of a naval training station on the Great Lakes. . The same wisdom that dictated this decisiop was exercised in the se lection of a site upon which to locate the proposed training station. Many were considered. Every city, town and hamlet on the Great Lakes eag-- erly sought the honor of baving it located in their particular communi-- ty. It was a task of the 'utmost dif-- ficulty to pass upon the merits of all of the sites offered. This dilema the Navy Department met bY the ap-- pointment of a board of high naval officers which it charged with the duty of considering and determining the relative advantages of the sev-- eral locations available, and to rec ommend the one considered best adapted to the requirements of a naval training station. The board re ported favorably upon Great Lakes. The location of the proposed train-- iIng station there became an assured certainty when the Commercial Club and a group of patriotic citizens of Chicago,,\ with the promptitude, _ re-- 'touroefuhleu. and generosity char acteristic of, that city, raised a fund, !purchned the land, and presented it to the Navy Department. The site upon which the training station is located is both attractive and convenient. It is generously en-- dowed with many natural beauties, be-- ing on a bluff overlooking Lake Mich-- AIgan and traversed by densely wooded | ravines. Situated on the north shore| thirty--two miles north of Chicago, it[ is easily reached by the trains of the ; Chlcg:o &' Northwestern line and of the tcago, North Shore and Mllvnu-' kee Electric railroad. The recent com-- pletion of a splendid concrete high-- way that extends from Chicago to Milwaukee and nasses the main en-- trance +*n Great lakes furnishes a much neei~d im;:--ovament that great-- 1y enhances its ya@ ~o as a military as | sot. In peace or war, it insures J the prompt movement of men and sup plies, should other means of trans-- portation fail or prove inadequate. It the pleasing ; all of Mr. During the summer months there are features of particular interest to visitors. Each Friday afternoon when weather conditions permit there is an exhibition drill and review in wheh all the recruits and students in specialty schools particpate. It is an insgir-- ing sight to see these boys, in their trim, spotless white, naval uniforms, go through the various exercises with a snap, precision and spirt that at tests not"enly the thoroughness of the methods of instruction in the Navy, ti§t also the enthusiasm the boys them-- selves have for their chosen vocations. The drill and review are usually fol-- lowed by boxing bouts and other ath-- letic contests in the ravine ampithea-- tre, in which the embryo sailors are afforded an opportunity to demonstrate their physical prowess. ~~ e= Great Lakes was formally opened for the recepton of recruits on July 1, 1911. It was dedicated on October 28th of the same year by President William H. Taft, now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, in an impressive ceremony at-- tended by cabinet officers, members of congress, governors of neighboring states. and other distinguished guests prominent in the nation"s«political, bus-- iness and professional life, including the officers and-- members of the Com-- mercial club of Chicago, the organiza-- tion that sponsored the movement for the establishment of a naval training station near Chicago. } Six years were required to plan and construct the buildings at Great Lakes and install its extensive equipment. Every detail was planned and execut-- ed with a view to making it the most eotmnplete and perfect training station in existence. ; How well its founders succeeded is now a matter of history. has made the men and equipment of Great Lakes more quickly available for communities stricken by . disas-- trous fires, floods or other catastro phes. Furthermore, it will be the means of inducing many more thous-- ands of motorists each year to avail themhselves of the cordial invitation ex-- tended by the naval authorities to vis-- it a place' of absorbing interest, get better acquainted with the United States navy, and observe how a raw recruit is developed into a full--fledged man--o'--warsman. is like. however, may be gained when it is known that the naval reservation occupies 1105.57 acres of land, that there are 102 permanent buildings, all of them of thoroughly modern con-- struction, in excellent conditidon, and splendidly equipped; that it has one and onequarter miles of--water front; and that its training facilities have been Pecently increased by the con-- struction of a modern harbor costing approrimately $1,000,000. . It is con-- servatively estimated that the present value of the land, permanent build-- ings and equipment of the training sta-- tion 'approximates $10,000,000. A visit to Great Lakes is essential to form any adequate conceution of its unique character, its vast extent, the completeness of detail of its build-- ings and equipment, and the many features of uncommon jinterest.

Just at present the great majority of young men re-- ceived-- at the training station--are re-- cruits, sent there by various navy re-- eruiting stations to gain their first in-- troduction to life in the Navy. --The-- activities in progress at Great Lakes consist of general recruit train-- ing and two6o sperialty schools devoted 'Experience has amply demonstrat-- ed that it is altogether too radical a transition for a boy from the farh or city to adjust himselt sudden!y to the mode of life on board ship. The train-- ing station is designed to bridge this chasm. It is the intermediate step in & naval recruit's development.. And it is a tevelation to the uninitiated what altogether _ new surroundings and several months of intensive naval training will accomplish--not only in adapting a recruit to the new order of things--but in developing him phys-- fcally and morally, and giving a fitness in naval duties that makes him a real asset instead of a liability when final-- ly transferred to q ship. What happens to a recruit from the time of his arrival at the training sta-- tion until he leaves to enter upon his duites on board ship forms a series of unique experiences that are never forgotten. . Shortly after reporting he is given a thorough medical examina-- tion to verify the findings of the exam-- ining medical officer at their recruit-- ing station. This is followed by a psy-- ch?atric test to grade his intelligence. Vaccination to immuhnize againgt small pox and typhoid fever are then admin-- istered. These formalities completed, the recruit now receives a complete outfit of uniform clothing valued at $100.00, which'a generous government issues gratuitously in order to give him a fair start free from debt. For three weeks he remains in "detention," or more properly speaking, in an iso-- lation group.

This -- is just one of the mapy precautions the Navy adopts to to guard against the introduction of in-- fectious Aiseases among its men. At the expiration of the period in the isolation group the recruit pass-- es on to the maip group and is as . signed to a company lor general training. Here he gains a more IIIJ timate knowledge of the require mepts of naval discipline, and is sur-- . prised to find that they are no more exacting than those of any well reg: ulated business or industry,. The subject of seamanship is then taken up and instruction given in knofting and splicing; the use of the compass, log and lead; steering; running lines; hoisting: and lowering boats; the handling of boats under oars and sail; and the duties of a lovkout Under the head of ordnance and gun-- nery the recruit learns how gun crews are 'stationed; the uses n' fuses, primers and al} sorts ol an-- munition; the different types of guns; and the nomenclature of guns, rifies and pistols. He also has practice on the riflie range which develops his marksmanship, and artillery drill to familiarize him with the 3--inch field pieces used when a landing party is sent into troublesome territory. A course in signalling gives him a working knowledge of the different systems used for _ day, night and sound -- signalling. In the aviation mechani¢s' school advanced ' instruction is given to petty officers of the air force in the mechanics of aviation. This school is reputed to be one of the most mod-- ern and completely equipped of its kind in existence. It formerly was the largest, but its activities have been gradually curtailed as the needs of the lervxce for trained aviation mechanics were met. The petty offi-- cers graduated from this school are assigned to duty with an air detach-- ment operating with one of the fleets, or to one of the several air stations. There is given in the radio school a complete course of --instruction in radio theory, equipment, and opera-- tion. ~Here the enlisted man is af-- forded an opportunity to engage in the study of a most popular and fas-- cinating branch of science. Before an applicant. may be admitted to this school, 'however, he is required to undergo a series of thorough tests to grade his intelligence and aptitude for radio instruction. The course ex-- tends over a period of sixteen weeks, when fipal examinations _ follow. Those successful are promoted to a petty officer rating and transferred either to a ship of the Navy or a radio station ashore. Although a recruit at Great Lakes is kept busily engaged with studies and drills, it is by no means a case of all work and no play. The Navy was --one of the first large organiza-- tions to realize that wholesome and properly regulated recreation and pleasure are very large factors in r--aintaining contentment and in pro-- moting efficiency.
