Enforced milit^..ry service, financed
by the goverrxmezit, need not be contrary
to the beliefs of pacifists, for it is
not militarism^ It serves a two-fold

MILIT..RISM ..ND .JVERIC..N YOUTH
When Colonel Per Ramee addressed
the Milne assembly almost tov/ weeks ago,
he stressed the extreme importance of a
strong system of national defense. In
oonnise, v/ell-chosen words, this theme
was elaborated through references to our
own history and that of foreign nations»
..s international affairs stand nov^. Colonel Ramee insisted, the United States
needs, in addition to the National Guard
and the Ro Oo T. Co, a strong defensive
army ready to w...rd off attack at an
instcvnt^s notice. In conclusion, the
Colonel advised every boy in the audience
to get some kind of milic..ry ezpei-ience
as soon as possible.
Evidently Colonel Ramee, and v^e agreo with him^here, v/uuld advocate a
certain am.ount of enforced
militc.;.ry
training for every ajiierica.n youth. It
would seem to bo incumbent, today, upon
the .imerican people, ^s a v;hclo to insure
the security and independence of their
country in every possible v/ay« Thorough
military training '-.nd discipline during
the youth and a periodical trainiiig in
military tactics during the later life
of every man would accc^mplish much towards this end. In many private schools
all over the couatry,
boys of
high
school c.ge are receiviog army discipline
their after lives are the better for
it.
(continued in next column)
The youth of Italy are trained
early in a military fashi on I £.1 nd ctrcss
is placed on stamina, courage, endurance
L.nd ability„ But the aim of the Italian,
is to miike agression moi-e o-asyo German
youth are beirig' trained for the sanv;
purpose, xxmerican youths, however, wiii
for the most part take up normal professions, secure in the knowledge that,
if need be, they are ready to defend
their homes. The Spartans trained the: i
youth from the cradle in a rigorouj
fashion cdid subjected them to untol.^
hardships. Yet the Spartans led happy
lives and met their downfall only becaus'.
they wore not satisfied v/ith merely acfending themselves but must needs beoorre
aggressors^ The civilization of ancient,
Rome, weakeno]i by years of. self-indulgences on the part of its people, v;as
left in ruins by the inroads of vigorous
barbarians.
Military training' is responsible fo:
more than the protection of a coantryc
Boys who are under milit^.ry discipline
are pctyntially the best possible citisens. Of course, enforced military service and training v/ill not be sufficient
to cure all the ills of a country but
it ought to lessen the dang'ers of for
eign in^^'asions and the drnscquonces of
youthful idleness and lack of parental
discipline.
THE ORIGIN OF TI^^.NKSGIVING
The earliest observ^-nce of Thank
giving Day is traced back to the fall c
1621, following' the first harvest aft-,
the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers c 'i .
express their gratitude to God., as we] i
as to shov; their friexidliness to the
Indians, Governor Bradford, '^the harvei^t
having' been gotten in, sent four men out
on fovyling, so that v/e might, c.fter c.
more special m.anner, i-ejoice together
after v/e had gathered the fruit of our
labor." This feast was to last fron.
Thursday morniiig- until Saturday night,
and wus in the month of October^ The
four men brought back so many v;ild turkeys that there was enough meat for a
three day feast for the colonists ar1
their Ixidian friends, ^^nd ever sine
then, no Thanksgiviri^ dinner could
