Opportunities (or young men in
crease as older men learn more of
tho science of government. BoyB
who are growing to manhood today
have opportunities for education
ami entrance into business that their
lathers never enjoyed. Tliey have
chances for enjoyment, privileges of
improvement and opportunities (or
travel never before enjoyed by the
youth of any land.
Not the least of the new oppor
tunities that have opened up for
young men is the offer of the Gov
ernment to entertain them one
month each year at the Citizens'
Military Training Camps with all ex
penses paid, even to transportation
to and from the camps, theatre tick
ets and physical examination.
To he able to leave home the lat
ter part of July and return again
the latter part of August, learn the
principles of military training, enjoy
athletics, theatres, social functions,
pleasure trips and new country
be of some use to the Nation and at
the same time to benefit physically
and mentally, without the incurring
of any obligation for further mili
tary service Is an opportunity no
young man can afford to overlook.
Yet this chance Is open to any young
man between the ages of 17 and 27
who is in good health and reason
able physical condition.
Three courses are offered: The
Red Course: Ages 17 to 25 -No
previous military experience of any
kind necessary.
White Course: Ages 18 to 26
Por those who have had Red Course.
Grammar school education or its
equivalent necessary.
Blue Course: Ages 19 to 27
For civilians having completed Red
and White Courses. High school
education or its equivalent neces
sary. Whfte Course qualifies student to
become non-commissioned officer in
Organized Reserves if he fo desires
and Blue Course as officer in the
Organized Reserves.
Ex-service non-commissioned of
ficers, not older than 35 years of age
who have high school education or
its equivalent, may enter Blue
Course.
With conditions in the turmoil
that exists In Europe and China to
day, America is in a position that
she may be called upon to take
further part at any minute. Young
men wfll not escape military duty
because of ignorance of its princi
ples but they are at a decided-disad-
vantiise without a knowledge of
those principles and the government
has a decided advantage if a reas'
onable number o its young men are
versed in the rudiments of its mili
tary practices. Hence the plan for
summer camps which dp not entail
any obligations for further service.
HOIUIEI) HAIR TEACH KI18
Boards of Education in many
cities, especially in the East, have
decreed that no teacher who bobs
her hnir can be employed, and there
has been some protest on the mat
ter from the young women who
have shed their locks. They contend
that they are employed to teach
what is inside the head, not outside.
Yet the Boards are clearly within
their rights in the matter. Teachers
must be examples to the young
whom thoy instruct. They are look
ed upon as leaders, and a teacher
stands in much the same general re
lation aa the preacher. Bobbed
hair is not immoral but it is ex
treme, It has been adopted by
many young women of high stand
ing, yet it must lie frankly admitted
that It does not tend to dignity and
certainly does not improve the ap
pearance of the girl. Possibly the
attitude of the Board is that girls
who are prone to follow extremes of
fashion are more or less "flighty,"
and lacking in that poise needed for
the ideal teacher.
Generally it Is a hopeless task to
attempt to regulate the dress or
habits of the girls and young worn-j

Child Labor Decision the Supreme
Court has called a halt. The reg

The question of whether children
of tender years should bo employed
in manufacturing is one for the

con tend that such labor tends to re

Its rights of childhood, to prevent
education and to Dually result In
deterioration of the race. Most of
contentions will be admitted
by all thinking people, yet it is not
making it better to add another
wrong to the one done the children.
The end does not always justify the
means. Preventing child Inhor may
