Their signed statements appear in an official pamphlet just published by the War department. Thousands of copies are to be distributed to schools, col- leges, boys' clubs, rural post offices, and factories, offices and stores throughout the country. Ruth praised the outdoor life and citizenship studies of the camps. Tun- ney urged indoor workers to attend. Paddock, "the fastest human," called the camps "a remarkable opportunity for physical development." Tilden de- clared the camp life adds vigor for sport or business life. Weismuller, world's swimming record holder, recommended the training to aspiring athletes. Knute Rockne, Bob Zuppke of Illi- nois, Bill Roper of Princeton, T. A. D.
