SEVEN YEARS OF THE CMTC ' f the possible results when not thirty- five thousand, but sixty, eighty, even a hundred thousand young men crowd each year to the camps of Tomorrow? Seven years ago the forecast was made that camp training would give increase of physical health and vigor, quicker mentality, broader sympathies, self-discipline,self-conlidence,self-respect, initiative, regard for constituted author- ity, greater love for home and country. Parents were promised that their sons would return home from camp with a deeper sense of their responsibilities and with greater determination to do their duty as men and citizens. Young men were promised an opportunity of living in a democracy of equal interests, rights and obligations, under a discipline which would make plain their personal and social relations and tend to develop their latent powers of leadership. ln IQZI, the proposed training was endorsed by recognized spokesmcn for every group in American life. ln IO27 this endorsement has been fully justified by the results of Seven Years of the CMTCU.
