Education HE advantages of physical educa- tion have been known and used in the armies of the world ever since the Age of Pericles. It was -then, as it is now, an impor- tant factor in building an excellent fighting soldier. Physical education of a soldier con- sists of running and exercising to 'help keep him in condition. In At-hens a good runner was given a high honor for his great work. In the army, today, we have some of the best physical instructors the nation has to offer. They are here to teac-h the soldier just what physical education is about. Upon entering the army, -the recruit is taught what physical education is about. He learns that here he will be made into not just a stronger man, but a soldier that will be able to withstand unbelievable -tasks. He would not be able to perform such tasks if he were not physically lit. His first extensive physical -training starts when he enters basic training. Here he first starts to develop physical fitness and his training does not stop until his day of discharge. Another important use of physical education in the army is its use in our many rehabilitation centers all over the nation. It is here that an injured soldier learns to take the best advantage of the parts of his body that are not injured. Here he finds that physical education helps 'him greatly in rehabilitating himself for civilian life. Many of -the soldiers in our hospitals and homes have taken physical education to keep them- selves in condition. Your son has had training in 'the army man- ner in -this school. This was to help build up his body. In civilian life we need a healthy body to make a living and enjoy ourselves. The physical training our young people receive to- day in our schools and colleges is a great step toward 'happier and better living.

Character Tm HARACTER training here at Carson Long plays an important part in our education. After receiving this training, a boy is ready to be recognized as an honest and strong man. Character -training is the improving and proper disciplining of the heart, the soul, the will, and the body. What does each of these have to do with character? Let me take the heart for -the first t-hing. The heart gives you the power to have -the will to succeed. Our parents 'have hearts that are great and understanding. Each of us has a heart and here at Carson Long we are trained to do more things with it. A loyal and honest heart will 'help in becoming successful during life. The soul is the thing that is of most im- portance in character training. It is the believ- ing in God and in ourselves -that makes the soul great. Any man who has faith in God and in himself cannot fail during life. Z 16 ning+a+ We believe here at school that every man has a will. He will be able to 'do any thing that anybody else has done whether it seems impossible or not. We believe that if a man has nerve and will power he will be able to succeed as he goes on through life. When the boys first come to Carson Long, they have pale faces, rounded shoulders, and weak muscles. Starting every day off with ten minutes of exercises changes the boys to sturdy persons and in addition makes them straight and square-shouldered. It also gives the boys power to do anything that seems hard. These are the qualities that make great men. That is one reason why Carson Long not only educates a man but also makes 'him strong and earnest. Qualities like 'these can't be gotten from -text-books but they contribute in making a goo-d man who will become a true American.

PONT is a name that occupies a unique place in America's in- dustrial history. Few ot-hers have been so long or so intimately linked with our country's de- velopment, or have played so important a part in its growth in war and peace-in panic and boom. Since the establishment -in i8oz of a small gunpowder factory on the banks of the Brandy- wine Creek near VVilmington, Delaware, DuPont powders have played a leading part in prac- tically every great event in our counfrv's his- tory. They helped win the XVest, blasted the right of way for steel rails linking the continent, and served the guns of the .llofziror in its epochnl battle with the .tl-lerrimac. The turn of the century found DuPonts look- ing beyond explosives to the yet broader fields of a newly rising chemical wonderland. Even the cataclysm of the first YVorld VVar failed to halt their plans for chemical expansion. During -the next two decades explosives became, in fact, a subsidiary DuPont interest while new interests, laboratory' born, reached out into industry like the spreading -branches of a tree. There followed a growth and expansion of the DuPont Company to an organization main- taining 83 plan-ts in 25 states, encompassing projects that were to benefit millions in their 'daily way of life. Dye stuffs, viscose rayon yarn, cellophane, photographic film, disinfec- ta-nts, lacquers, automobile finishes, plastics, synthetic rubber, and nylon are seen as only a few of Du.Pont's answers to -the challenge to win for America -her economic independence in a world where self-sufficiency is becoming a national slogan. There are powder blackened DuPonts, white collar DuPon-ts, scientific geniuses, dreamers, hard-headed businessmen, and engineers. These are the men who are giving their all -to make -this industry an instrument of service to America by producing better things for better living . . . through chemistry. 4 l
