Any man should regard it an honor
and a privilege t<> stand before a body
of men who collectively are more po-
tent. perhaps, in forming public opin-
ion than any others in the land. Lead-
ing the people imposes a high obliga-
tion which we should regard. In speak
ing upon conditions that confront u->
and our duty in meeting them, it is
too much to expect that we will all at
first agree. It is better, perhaps, that
we should not do so, fot by honest an
free discussion comes truth. Il is
well to listen with tolerance and an
I open mind to anyone who is serious-
y endeavoring to present a construc-
ive pian for be' .ei ing human condi-
ions. If upon this occasion the
peaker should deal in platitudes and
•eiieni'itie for fear of provoking
. iticism, he probably would fail and
nd he ought to fail; hence 1 say what
j is upon my heart and set forth the

it will not be ur:i! we win the battle!., prints
of peace. Out of the turmoil anil
chaos, we must c ; tallize and make
those of agriculture, finance, etc. We
must broaden our conception and

so doing can we remove jealousies,
misconceptions, prejudices and mis-
understanding- and reach the comm< n
grounds and thereby create conditii ns
under which substantial progress can
be made.

We must Americanize not only our
foreign element, but some of our own

this end there should i>e a nvrt'e care

In addition to featuring agriculture
at the training stations, there should,
be broad, selective courses in indus-
i trail chemistry, engineering, construc-
tion. civil government, etc., so that
every boy shall have the opportunity
'to select some vocation and make a
start in it under the best conditions
po--ib:e. .Next to developing agricul-
tuie, I believe one of the most impor-
tant activities of the training camp
should be to stimulate interest in and
develop the making of a modern news-
paper based upon Ihe highest ideals,
w.fh a strong, virile edit 'ship, and 4
definite purpose. It is import ant t
develop a sound nublie policy by edu
a ting the masses to think in nation-
j ill terms and to understand the fact*
and condition as they appear front
tioir io time by honest, fearless, full
•and intelligent presentation through
the public pre-. This will Help cry
staM/.c sound, enduring citizenship
chat will stabilize out institutions ani
')iai;.■ popular government a sucroM.
Io this end the training camps should
be equipped wi'h a lii t class news
pal ei plant in charge ..f the best tal-
ent to be had, that b..ys of ability,
who are so inclined, may not only
o'arn the mechanical work necessary
to produce a modern newspaper, bu*
be t lught and insnired to do all th +
v arious kind-, of work necessary there-
(a. I hey will acquire leadership ir.

calities; and they will be better and

advance further in the training and
education that they have in hand.
Keep the boys at work and let them
understand that the opportunity to
work is both a privilege and a duty,
and that no real man will shirk it;
that some of the best men of the coun-
try are wearing overalls and do not
hesitate to s,,|| their h inds with hon-
