Benefits from Army Training
The American country boy that
stalwart fellow from the farms and
the towns and smaller cities has
contributed not only his brawn to
Uncle Sam’s armies, but exem-
plifies patriotism, initiative, and
intelligent discipline as well.
Such is the gist of authoritative
commentary on the rank and file of
the army in every instance where
citizen soldiers have been called to
the nation's defense. Today the
parents of the young men lately
called into service are asking what
the army in turn does for the coun-
try boy Here is the answer:
“He gains a broadening experi
enee in adventure, friendship, and
learning which only service in a
common cause can give.”
The quotation is from an over
seas veteran of the World War who
served in ■ hard hitting outfit com
posed largely of youths classed
generally as country boys. Ampli
fying his statement, he stressed the
young soldier’s experience in ad
venture, friendship, and learning.
Boyhood adventures in rambles
with his dog, a
plunge in the "old
swimmin' hole" and
explorations in the
woods pave the way
for his new duties
in camp and in the
field. Our Army af
fords new scenes
and still more heart
ening adventures.
He gains a strong
physique, good
health, and a clean
mind. He comes
home equipped for
his life work with
renewed energy and
a brighter outlook
upon the world.
In friendship he
broadens his horizon,
meets thousands of
young men like him-
self from all parts
of the Union, and
forms enduring com-
radeships Knowing
his fellow Ameri-
cans better he is
himself a better
American.

The average coun-
boy enters the
1 Army with an inquiring mind and
a fund of practical experience,
, declares the veteran of 1918. He
j is a good student. He has learned
| to work with his hands as well as
' his brains. He is quick to grasp
the exceptional opportunities which
modern military service provides.
When he returns to the farm he
finds that his skill in handling a
“jeep,” a truck, or a tank for Uncle
Sam has fitted him expertly to care
for agricultural machinery. He
has learned the economy of trans-
| portation. He has been observing
of the practice of farmers in other
sections of the country. He sees
where improvements may be made.
He knows more of conservation.
Active service in our Army has
been America's greatest training
school for the professions, in
science, and in business. In every
period in the nation's history the
leaders in civil life have been
largely those who in their youth
answered their country’s call to
defense, and first of these has been
the country boy.
