THE JEFFERSONIAN f io ti 5 f THE otvti IAN AIDE s MESSAGE CARL F G MEYER Pmficient St. Louif Chamber 0 Commfrce and Civilian CPhotograph on P. 301 There is no better short course in training for stalwart American citizenship than is offered in a Citizens J 7 1 . f p Aide to the Secretary of War fm Miyyourj Mifiitary Training Camp. The seventeen hundred youths who have just concluded a month of instruction at Jefferson Barracks at the outskirts of the great City of St. Louis have gone back to their homes in Missouri, Illinois, and Arkansas with more respect for their fellow-beings and a truer sense of their respon- sibilities to their government. The Chamber of Commerce and the City of St. Louis have sought to cultivate the acquaintance of these young men, realizing that they in time Will be- come the business rnen and leading citizens in the com- munities that go to make up the St. Louis tradearea. St. Louis is a friendly and neighborly city. It is MR. ABINGTON NIR. PALMER anxious to make those who live in neighboring states feel at home when they come here. The Chamber of Commerce maintains a department that has as its chief duty the helping of neighboring communities in the solution of their problems. Realizing that agriculture is the very heart of the nation's industry, a great deal oftime and effort are spent in bringing the business men and farmers of each community together for a common solution of their troubles and the working out of their ambitions. . It was my good fortune to appear at the Barracks Camp at several ceremonies during the recent en- campment. I was favorably impressed with the alert, quick-witted, bright-eyed youths I met there and with- out exaggeration can classify them as the finest looking lot of young citizens I have ever observed. Let us hope the government will see fit to conduct another camp at Jefferson Barracks next year. We will be ready to welcome the newcomers to our city and show them the best time possible. No father or mother need feel any worry about a son sent to such a camp, for there boys are taught self-reliance, respect for the flag, they are drilled in military tactics and in outdoor games, so that tlfey return home better in health and better qualihed to meet the strenuous duties of the world which they must soon face as full citizens.
