3'Iin1'12111n1'i1 :IT is very fitting at the time this camp is drawing to its close for me as Camp Commander to express to all the Candidates, both personally and on behalf of the government, my appreciation of the splendid spirit of co-operation shown by them. 1Without this spirit, without the push and energy and team work of the candidates, the Camp would have been a failure, but with it We can well believe it to have been the most successful camp ever' -held on this historic ground. p i y l i g. The first essential of an efficient army is loyalty and the next is discipline which really means mutual respect and co-operation-. In both of these qualities this camp stands out as excellent. But above and better than this, the same tvvo qualities are those that make for good citizenship, and hence for a great nation. i p The real and only reason for these camps is to train men to preserve this nation, in peace, if We are so fortunate as to have peace, and in War, if war must come. T Keep up the friendships and associations you have begun at this camp. Remember that a few with a common purpose and a 'common understanding will have more influence than many without these ad- vantages. So if you believe in what you have learned here, if you think it will really. helphthe nation, keep together and pull together, after you leave camp, in furtherance of the true .aims of stalwart Americanism-afraid of no foreign nation, nor of any subversive group in this country, no matter how clamorous. And finally, may I ask you all to try to return next summer-, each with at least one recruit, to what vve hope with yourassistance will be an even more successful camp than was this Citizens' Military Training Camp, Plattsburgh Barracks, 1922. c.
