Citizenship and National Defense Training By Lieutenant Colonel Wallace M. Craigie, U. S. Lieutenant Colonel Wallace M. Craigie, U. S. A., Professor of Military Science and Tactics H has been written about the lx 'gl' 1 merit and benefits of the special 'yt isgkg 35 course of training in the universi- T Q - 3 5 T7 .f A 5 if t, . 'X 5 3 'Ut Q' Sk-9: 6 inf a Fl 3 1:21 , fre-al' ' N gms-'Q 1 ties, colleges, and high schools of Vi x this country which has, as its lofty purpose, such developments as character build- ing, obedience to lawful authority, discipline, leadership,, proper conception of the duties and obligations of citizenship, etc. I refer to the course which may best be characterized as Citizenship and National Defense Training. As a guide and means toward developing the young men of the nation into useful, de- pendable, and prideful citizens, this course, which so many of our leading educational in- stitutions have so wisely and liberally included in their curricula, ably meets the need therefor and promotes national safety. Militarism appears to be the spectre held up by certain groups who would save the country from the rattling saber! but who in reality have as their ulterior purpose the ob- struction of citizenship and national defense training: a training now so universally ac- cepted as a national safeguard and the best kind of national life insurance. When a vast majority of our leading edu- cators include citizenship and national defense training as part of their curricula, when an- A., Professor of Military Science and Tactics nually nearly one hundred and thirty thousand 029,116 to quote official figuresj of our young men are today receiving this training in the universities, colleges, high schools, and other institutions of learning, when upwards of thirty-five thousand of our young men from every walk of life annually attend Citizens' Military Training Camps, established through- out the country, when countless large business and, manufacturing concerns grant their ein- ployees leave on full pay to attend these camps, when national patriotic bodies of our women and national patriotic bodies of our men recognize the importance and usefulness of this training and give their full support and endorsementg then, there must be a recognized fundamental principle of right teaching in- volved. A citizen is gauged by his instinctive obe- dience to and respect for constituted authority, by his conception of and regard for the duties, responsibilities, obligations, and privileges of his citizenship, and a nation's safety-its very existence, indeed-can be founded only upon the principles inculcated by education and by training in citizenship and national defense, and communistic teachings can find no foot- hold in the national life of a citizenry so trained. If war is to be outlawed, if the pesti- lence of war is to be stamped out, this training in citizenship and national defense offers the ounce of prevention which is worth more than the pound of cure! As applied to our own Cadet Corps, this training manifests itself in numerous Ways, during and after service in the Corps. I can safely predict that, should the Alumni of the Washington High School Cadet Corps be re- quested to state whether they regard their training in the Cadet Corps as a real asset, their replies would register one hundred per cent YES! The Cadet Corps may well be proud of its achievement in annually develop- ing a large group of high-principled young men eager to assume the responsibilities and duties of their citizenship, and to take their places as leaders in civic developments. Habits of discipline, self-control, obedience, tolerance, and respect for the rights of others, are in themselves an equipment of incalculable value to anyone and are, in great part, the bulwarks of character and a well-balanced citi- zenship.
