Purpose of The Cadet Corps By Major Raymond G. Payne, U. S. Army Assistant Professor of Military Science and Tactics HE QUESTION has often been asked: What is the purpose of the Cadet Corps? Of what value is it in the education and the training of our boys? The answer is that the Cadet Corps develops character, and thereby makes our boys better citizens. Every community is vitally interested in mak- ing its young men better citizens. The very existence of our Local and National Govern- ments depends upon our better citizens. Un- less the better citizens are in the majority and in control, the unlit will seize control, and orderly Government with its attendant security will cease to exist. There is a trying period in the life of every normal boy during the transition from boyhood to manhood when he needs help. During this period he is a mass of contradiction, often out- wardly egotistical, chafing at all restraint: he has no respect for organized authority or for the rights of others. Due to the forces of nature, he is in rebellion, he knows not why: but, under- neath this mask of intolerance, there is still the small boy, not yet become a man, sensitive, not sufficiently mature to judge or to decide for him- self: he needs help. He needs intelligent guid- ance: he needs some supervised activity to keep him busy, to interest him, to enable him to forget himself, and to learn the joys of accom- plishment. He needs contact with worth-while boys who are similarly engaged. Above all, he needs discipline if he is to develop a manly character. The Cadet Corps meets this need by its training and by its discipline. The dictionary defines discipline as fol- lows: to educate: to develop by instruction: to train: to accustom to regular and systematic action: to improve by corrective and penal methods. The character of a man depends almost en- tirely upon the quality of the discipline he re- ceives during this period. If the discipline is intelligent and firm, the character will be bene- fitted accordingly. If it is slack or poor, the character will show a corresponding deficiency. We never escape discipline: it is with us from birth to death. It starts at our mother's knee, occasionally across it. Every time you polish up your car, grind the valves, tighten up loose parts, tune up the motor, etc.. you are enforcing discipline. If neglected, the car would shake itself to pieces, and would soon land on the scrap heap. Is not the same intelligent care needed for that compli- cated piece of human mechanism, the growing boy? Guide and control that energy, and the character of the boy, the same as that of a well- cared-for car, will never cause you to have the slightest doubt as to the quality of his per- formance. Both will be dependable. lg . r .lv I L-.Q , . am ' kung... BRIGADE STAFF l35l LINE OF OFFICERS
