THE United States Army is open
for enlistments today. It wants
no inferior applicants; it seeks young
men of character and purpose; and
it promises those young men that
the term of their enlistment will be
fruitful years. u -.
xThey will come" back to civil life
in perfect health their muscles,
their eves, their bearing1 all evidenc-
Four million of the nation's ing the finest professional care.
TEN years ago it" was
necessary for the United
States Army to argue
I men into its ranks.
But, today the Army "like
every other great university,
points with pride to its graduates.
lA.
choicest young men were en
trusted to the Arrnv's care:
MOST of them are back in the
ranks of industry today; and
every parent in America, every em
ployer, every teacher knows that
they are better, abler men for their
experience.
They stand straight upon their
feet, a symbol of physical fitness. s
They have learned how to exe
cute orders, and how to give
them. f '
THERE is, in their characters, a
maturity beyond their years, a
vision and a self-confidence that are
fundamentals of success.
The months that they gave to the
Army were not lost months; the
records of the future will show more
rapid progress for them because of
the qualities which those months
developed.
T IS the' purpose"5' of (the War
DeDartment to develop in the
American soldier those qualities
which are the essentials to success
in any trade or business and are the
prime requisites, in an American
citizen. 4
Congress nas ""appropriated
$2,000,000.00 to be used in Educa
tional work in the Army Schools. In
many camps and posts men are be
ing trained in the skilled trades and
at practically all Army stations,
schools are in operation in which the ,
soldier can improve his education.1
Through enlistment the United
States Army offers opportunities to 4
travel. 1. It provides good food, good
clothes and good care. It gives a'
training which brings health phy-K
sical development mental quick-
ness and self-confidence. . It sends
you back to civil life better equipped
for American citizenship thanwhen ,j
you enlisted., - w &
