and the excelbnt work done by the

.uilt mi no a new nlnn. 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.

in general might be co-ordinated and

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

that mind ia active practically all the
time. Such a man ia perhap inrap
able at the moment of looking at af
fairs in a broad arnse, but the object
of all training muat be to guide that
mind in the direction of right think
ing- In order to accompliah thia the
instructor himself must he able to esti-
mate about what are the channel of
thought in the mind of the men being
trained, in order that he may so eon-
'duct hia own part of th work aa to
gain the confidence of the men he
is instructing or leading.
In developing the soldier' mind the
most rapid progres ia made by plae
ing upon the man, aa early as practic
able, as much responsibility aa he can
stand. 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. There will be'a high state of
morale in the command, and wherever
we find a high state of morale we al
ways find a high state of discipline
instruction and consequent usefulness

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.
