Why Tarleton is For The Citizens' Military
: Training Camps
John Tarleton College believes in the Citizens' Military Train-
ing Camps because they stand for the same things that our in-
sUtution stands for—patriotism to. our country and the ideals
of good (iitizenshxp. We; believe lh- them because they stand for
clean sportsmanship. We stand for that same admirable trait,
and in fact; they, as we^ believe in allthose things that will tend
to make cleaner, better, and more patriotic citizens of today.
No, ;pur training goes further thai^ mere close order drilling and
the study of military science and tactics—.yet these all have a
well founded purpose. But along with this we are reveling
out and striving to make men where weaklings were before; to
replace ignorant doubters by progressive citizens, and to prepare
our youth for the best service of our- country in all times and'
under all circumstances, v
Thus we have many,ideals in common. Perhaps the Citizens'
, Military Tiaininj* Camps S9 a bit further than we in some lin.es,
just as we outstrip them in others. But at the same time, our
purposes, generally speaking, are so closely related'that we feel
that we must back the Citizens' Military Training Camps in all
Jfcjieir Undertakings. -. - ,

1 ■■ . "Let's Go"
■ . . A few short years ago a million doughboys silently awaited
.t^e cruciai minute that marked their time to "go over the top"
. and face the en,emy. Suddenly a shrill whistle was heard-
■ poipteone shouted,, "Let's Go," and ten hundred thousand Attxeri-
i soldiers responded. The battle cry of the youth then, is
now, Each year'hundreds of thousands, of youths
respbridto that same:cry:, and attend the Citizens' Military Train-
ing; OWnips. And what motto could be better suited for these
;; .i;paj:H(jtic'youths? There, is more to the motto than the literal
translation; it almost approaches a dare. It contains some ele
' ment of abstract appeal that is dear to the American youtiu It
prqdupeg a feeling ofi exhuberant enthusiasm in our boys, that,
X inevitably results'in victory. We'.qan win. We -will make the
Training Camps the greatest asset to our
; Natibnal Government—"LET'S GO!" •

By the way, a'crowd, might go
from Tarleton and. be in the same
company.
I.read in a little.old booklet the
other day that they surely do give
the boys food at C, M. T. C.; that
sounds good to me, as one who is
"batching."
I like all kinds of sports, and I
heard they would have them at Q.
M. T. C. this summer..
Yes, sir, 'pears like, they got
'most ever'thing down at C, M. T.
C. that a boy could want.
Just like. I told pa,—I. think I'll
go to C. M, T. P. this summer. ■; 1

e. j. howell Endorses
the c. m. t. camps
Lieutenant E. J, Howell, G. R. C.,
Registrar and Commandant of Tar-
leton College, heartily endorses the
Citizens' Military Training Camps,
and urges thaf, all cadets who find
iti possible, to do/so, to attend one,
No faculty member has been
more loyal to the school, or has had
made interest in the general wel-
fare than has bur commandant. He
has always had the general welfare
of the Cadet Corps at heart, and
has , left nothing undone that was in
his power to do for it. Tarleton
feels that she is extremely lucky in
having Lieutenant Howell as com-
mandant.
j. l. barkley speaks

et Chatter club held a special

ed veteran of the late war and

his body, a;, thing every 'iyoung.

ample opportunity tq> 'Tplayi;

most important thing he gets igj
training and education which

Battalion Notes t
f, .T
THINK THIS OYER ,
In the summer every young
fellow wants a vacation but due
to the expenses some cannot, af-
ford one. In fact there are
few who can take a month off
and sp&nd it in reci'eation and
body and mind development;
to say nothing of a very inter-
esting trip. The C. M. T. C.
offers such a vacation to the
young man who chooses to take
it. From the time he leaves his
home until he returns, all ex-'
pense^ are paid." Hp is carried
free to the training camp, see-
ing new sights and interesting
things. When he arrives, he
receives clothes to wear. While
here his diet is; properly regu-
lated, and he has-the healthiest
of sleeping quarters, out of
doors. The greatest benefit
