It waa Dro-' poaed to make the army not only a military force to be trained and ready in tuna of national emergency, but a great educational imtitution where young men of the best mental, moral and phyaical conditions, and with the highest ideals of patriotic citizenship would le produced. . Thia plan was realized, in a meaa are, when the Congress appropriated the sum of $2,000,000 to be devoted to ! this pur pone during the fiacal yeai 1920. Accordingly, in September of thia year inatmction went forward to the commanding generals of all di visional ramps and of territorial de partments, who at once appointed on their staffs, officers known as Kduca tion anil Recreation Officers to as sume direct charge of the work. Each I officer has associated with him at least one civilian expert in educational af fairs, who furnishes assistance and advice In establishing schools and manual training classes. Hut it remained for the Camp Taylor Convention, called by the Sec retary of War in order that the work in general might be co-ordinated and rough place smoothed out. to show- that the army ts-now in reality a grvat I training schiol where the mother of j our young Americans will be glad t I see their boys go. This idea of the I army as a vast university of khaki ' is admittedly hard to conceive, but , nevertheless the thing has been ac complished right before our eyes. No longer is the army merely con cerned with the making of a recruit into an efficient fighting man, by giv ing hire the prescribed system of mili tary training only for a few hours of the day and leaving him almost en- j tirely to his own resource for the re mainder of the day. It now assumes responsibility for the entire 24 hours of his day, and sees that every por tion iirgainfully spent in useful .study of helpful recreation.

This responsibility on the man stimulates his pride, raises hi self respect, and urges him to better ef fort. This I applicable in all kind of training. It is eharacttaj building, fre quently called moral training, and the most effective meana of stimulating self-development. Every soldier, down to and includ mil the last recruit, will sooner or lat er become a leader in a smaller or greater sense. In battle, as battles are now necessarily conducted, direct re. sponsibility very frequently gos out of the hands of the officers, and small group of men must accomplish ob jectives by themselves; hence leader ship must be assumed by some or all of these men. Any one of them may be placed in a position where he must art independently and make his own decision on his own responsibility which requires thinking and acting on hia own judgment. !trequires leader ship. And it is to develop these latent qualities ft leadership that this edu cational program has been maugurat ed. New recruits are inclined to look on their officera from the very begin ning with respect and as thoroughly conversant with their duties. It is very important that this natural im pression should be maintained and im proved, but this cannot be done unless the leaders 'are, in the habit of think ing correctly and justly in all matter and acting accordingly. This is nec essary to gain and maintain the con fidince and respect of the men. When it ha been fully accomplished., then most of the small difficulties disap pear.

FARM BUREAU NOT TO QUIT Membership Votes to Carry on Work; Financial Cam paign Yet Undecided One hundred enthusiastic farm bu rrau members met for luncheon at the St. Francis Hotel at noon today. Their object was to consider the situ ation in which the county agent propo sition is left in Linn county by the re fusal of the Linn county court to par ticipate in furnishing funds for the enterprise. ' Farm bureau and county agent work shall not die in Linn county. That was the decision. It was a unan imous, resounding and determined de cision. President W. W. Poling of the farm bureau presided. For two years, he said the public-spirited people of the county had supported the bureau. He outlined the, recent effort to have the county court extend aid. Property ownejrs representing $3,000,000 tax able property came to the court with their plea, he said, but it was rejected. Mr. Poling did not criticise the court on that account. He said tie executive committee of the farm bu reau simply decided to call a meeting of the membership, and put it up to them. And when the motion came to con tinue or discontinue, every man said "Aye!" for continuance. Hub Bryant advised the other mem bers to dig down and , finance the scheme. "For every dollar we put into this thing, we receive at least $10 in return," he stated. A. C Schmitt pointed out that valuable work could be done by the county agent all the year around in advanc ing the interests of several new en terprises in the county the big new cannery, the stock association and the great county fair to be staged at Albany.
