JEFFERSONIAN -'ll Cilizezzs' llliliiary Training Camps lfon Yotfxti MEN or' 'rim SEVENTH CNORPS ,XREA The National Defense Act, approved June 4, IOZO, provides for the training ol' young men in the Cnited States during one month of each year, at camps located in each of the nine corps areas. The lirst training camps for citizens under this act were held during the summer of IQZI. l low ever, these were not the lirst camps of this character held in the United States, as the history of training camps goes back to those held at Platts- hurg, N. Y., which have become famous as HThe Plattsburg Camps. l,ast year two camps were held in the Seventh Corps Area and a total ol' more than IZCO young men were given thirty days' training at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, and at Camp Pike, Arkansas. These were as many as could he trained in 1921 with the amount of money appropriated hy The Congress. This year a total of more than 2700 men are given training, during Xugust, at three camps in the Seventh Corps Area. These camps are located at Fort Snelling, Klinnesota, for young men from the area of the 88th Division, at Fort Des Kloines, lowa, for those residing within the territorial limits of the 89th Division, and at Jefferson Barracks, Xlissouri, lor those young men in the area ofthe IO2I1Cl Division. - If larger appropriations become available more men can of course he accommodated each year. While it is not expected that the one month of training will make a trained soldier, yet if continued through the three courses provided for in the three successive years, the total of three months training will he a delinite henelit to the young men, and to the Nation it they should ever he called upon to serve their country under arms in tinie ol' stress. V l hope that thc young men of the Seventh Corps Area will continue to axail themselves of the opportunity to receive this training provided at the expense ol' the Government, and that they will maintain at all seasons .t deep interest in things military in order better to prepare themselves to serve their tountry against a day of possible need.
