THE BAT TALION
Reserve Corps, this is by no means
the only object.
6. The other object of these
camps and of the Officers’ Reserve
Corps is to give these young men
such mental, moral and physical
training as will make them successes
in life instead of failures, make them
assets to their friends, their families
and their country instead of liabil
ities.
We endeavor to make these young
men not only good citizens, but good,
clean, healthy husbands and fathers,
who respect their families and can
earn enough to support them in com
fort. We endeavor to instill in them
such qualities as will give them the
respect and friendship of the com
munity in which they live.
7. Our only consideration in writ
ing this letter to you is the good of
the young man himself, of his family
and of his country, and therefore we
feel confident that this letter will
receive your earnest attention.
8. These camps not only provide
instruction but they are means of
providing a summer trip in the na
ture of recreation and pleasure, for
the student who attends them. He
visits new parts of our country, sees
new sights and meets new people
and receives new ideas. He returns
knowing more about his country and
its citizens than he did before, and
his mind is broadened.
9. The student who attends these
camps receives his railroad fare
from the institution to the camp free
from the Government. Under ex
ceptional circumstances, the War De
partment will pay the railroad fare
from the student’s legal residence to
the camp. Upon his return he will
be given his railroad fare for mile
age equal to the number of miles
fi;orn the camp to his college.
While en route to and from the
camp the Government pays him a
certain amount for his food. Upon
arrival at the camp, he is met by a
representative of the camp and con
ducted to his proper place. He is then
placed in a company under a spec
ially selected Army Officer.
His uniform, arms and equipment
are furnished free by the Govern
ment. His food is furnished free and
is the same as that given the West
Point cadets. His health is carefully
looked after. Immediately upon ar
rival he is given a thorough examin
ation by a medical officer to see that
he is all right. During the entire
camp he receives careful medical
attention free.
10. While at the camp he has to
get up at a certain hour in the morn
ing and go to bed at a certain hour
at night. He is taught to keep his
living quarters, his clothes and his
person in clean orderly condition. He
is taught to keep healthy and how to
avoid diseases.
He is furnished with healthful
moral amusement such as reading
and recreation room, good books,
moving picture shows, musical instru
ments, singing, athletic exhibitions,
etc.
His moral surroundings are care
fully guarded. Devotional exercises

No Risk of Loss
only form of Nitrogen im-
mediately available as plant
food for growing crops is
Nitrate of Soda
All other forms must first be
nitrated in the soil, taking time,
and resulting in costly losses
through bacterial action.
Use 100 lbs. per acre for seeded ciops;
200 lbs. for cultivated. These light dressings
are easily spread over an acre and the amounts
are very small compared to the acreage weight
engaged in crop production.

ON KEEPING YOUNG
To keep one’s faculties bright and alert is to remain
young. To remain a buoyant spirit is another foe to age—
but who can be at this best with bad vision?
Most of life’s interest centres in the eyes-
ures come from exercising the eyes.
DIMNESS OF VISION.
-most pleas-
means a cluoding over of the brightness of life-
creeps quickly then.
-age
Enthusiasm, optimism and all the youthful qualities that
accomplish things, fly before the chilling influence
of indistinct vision.
EYESIGHT UNSPOILT.
meanth that the latter half of life is like a second and richer
youth. The faculties matured by experience, are brought
to perfection, and the individual achieves the utmost that
is in him.
Keep your sight unspoilt, and of all things possible
you will have done the one most certain to contribute to
your happiness and success.
