Colleges and uni- versities have offered scholarships with free tuition to the best candi- dates at the training centers. liqual com- mendation has come from other professions, physicians, clergymen and lawyers recording their approval with no dissentient voice. The education of the camps is commended by edu- cators and by all others who through education have won success in the professions. School credit for this summer training applies Cxmumcs ll.

EIGHT YEARS OF 'THE CMTC ff gr J toward high school graduation and usually, therefore, toward college ad- mission. The practice in different commonwealths varies in this matter. Some State Boards of Education pre- scribe the requirements for the coin- pletion of the secondary course and of these the following have allowed credit for satisfactory work in a Citizens' Military Training Camp: Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Okla- homa, Oregon, South Carolina, Vir- ginia and West Virginia. In some commonwealths the specification of acceptable subjects in the high school course of study is a function of local authority but the State Board of Education may 1'eco1nme1Ld allowance for summer training and this has been done in California, Colorado, Michigan and New York. This credit has been given in recognition of the educational value of thirty days in camp under expert olhcers and with a varied program of drill, citizenship instruction and supervised athletics. Ordinarily the credit is reckoned under the head of physical training and varies from one- fourth to one-half unit for each month of training, dependent on whether high school graduation is based upon sixteen or thirty-two units. School, college and university authorities have given recognition to the Citizens' Military Training Camps by offering scholarships for competition and award at the various training centers. These scholarships are of the same value as others given by the respective institutions and ordinarily carry free tuition for one year and are renewable on the basis of good academic record for succeeding years. For IQ28 CMTC scholarships were an- nounced at the following: Alma College, Baylor School, Boston College, Bradley Poly- technic Institute Czl, Bucknell University, Canisius College, Capital City Commercial College, Capital University, Carleton College, Carnegie Institute of Technology, Carroll College, Coe College Czj, College of St. Thomas, College of 'William and Mary, Columbia University, Creighton College, De Paul University, Detroit Institute of Technology, THE SPOILS OF VICTORY ARMY EFFICIENCY is proved no less in the kitchens and the mess halls than on the drill fields or the range.
