Advises Officials
Of Selective Service
The advice from national head
quarters for the Selective Service
System and repeated by John L.
McCormick, director of selective
service for Alaska, to a young
man who has not yet completed
his high-school education has al
ways been and will continue to
be' for him to stay in school un
til he completes his high-school
education. Such was the intent
of Congress when provision was
made for a statutory deferment
for a registrant to be deferred
until he graduates, attains the
age of 20, or ceases to satisfactor
ily pursue his courses.
At this particular time of year
many high-school students are
caught in the cross current of
conflicting advice. Some students
will abandon their high-school
i education for one of the follow
! ing reasons
1. Jobs are relatively plentiful
and wages are lucrative; 2. Dis
like of school; 3. Desire to start
living: 4. To go back and com
plete education at a later date;
f 5. A desire to enlist in the ser
vices, and 6, Necessity.
The fallacy of the first four ar
: guments above is easily discern
! ible. Now in regard to No. 5, the
l Department of the Army and the
Department of the Air Force
have recently released publica
tions advising a young man to re
main in school until he completes
his high-school education. The
Army pamphlet is called “Strai
ght Talk About Staying in
School”, and the Air Force publi
cation is called “Straight From
the Shoulder”. In both publica
tions, it is pointed out that the
services desire that a young man
complete his high-school educa
tion. With a diploma, fields of
promotion will be increased.
Without a high-school education,
the man’s value to the service is
considerably limited. To be a
leader, a high-school education is
a minimum requirement. It is
pointed out that modern warfare
demands weapons and technics of
an increasingly complex nature.
Specialized and technical train
ing is necessary and the services
need men with education and
ability to absorb specialized and
technical training. The traditional
