SAN FRANCISCO, July 9 (by mail).
—Five hundred young men from forty
two universities and high schools in
nine Far Western states are learning
the rudiments of soldiering in a six
weeks’ intensive course of instruction
at the reserve officers’ training corps
camp at the Presidio, the government
military reservation here.
They began their work on June 21.
The course will come to a close on
August 2. Colonel Pierce A. Murphy,
who is in command, and the other of
ficers who are aiding him in instruct
ing the youngsters, are proud of the
physical record shown by them. Only
six of those who appeared failed to
come up to the required standard.
i The camp consists of one company
T of college students of the junior and
senior classes, who are taking the
advanced course; four companies of
college freshmen and sophomores who
are taking the basic course, and three
companies of high school students. The
college men form the senior division
of the R. O. T. C. and the schoolboys
the junior division.
The objects of the camp are to give
the students six weeks of rugged out
door life, to encourage interest in mili
tary knowledge and to promote phys
ical efficiency. It also is expected to
add to the efficiency of the various
college and school cadet corps by con
tributing well-versed youngsters to
their various units when they return
to school.
The d.'y’s work begins at reveille,
which blows at 6:15 o’clock every
morning. Breakfast comes at 6:30.
From 8 o’clock until noon come the
drills, at which time ail hands are
more than ready for mess. From 1
o’clock until 4:30 comes more hard
work of the body and mind-building
kind. Supper is enthusiastically wel
comed at 5:30 o’clock. Then comes
a period of relaxation until 10 o’clock,
when taps is sounded.
Two evenings a week are spent at
a mass meeting held either in the
Young Men’s Christian Association
hall or in the quarters of the Knights
of Columbus, where mass singing is
on the program, followed by instruc
tive military motion pictures, with, in
cidentally, a comedy to wind up the
evening.
The boys take to the life like ducks
to water, and all of them are enthusi
astic. They take the work seriously
and apply themselves diligently to the
business of learning all 'they can. Dur
ing the last few days of the camp they
jwill he given a taste of field work as j
near to war conditions as possible,
during which time a number of mili
tary problems will be worked out. Of-!
ficers decare the six weeks to be of!
great educational value to the boys
from many points of view.
| Among the activities are infantry
drill, physical drill, army group^games,
musketry and target practice, bayonet
combat, signalling, first aid and mili
tary hygiene. Minor tactics is spe
cialized in by the senor advanced
course.
Forty-five non-commissioned officers
of the army have been detailed to aid
in giving bayonet, signalling and other
instruction.
The government pays all the ex
penses, including furnishing the uni
forms, feeding and transportation to
and from home. The boys wear the
regular army uniform, and are distin
guished by an olive green hat cord
and collar and sleeve device bearing
the letters R. O. T. C.
The camp is not only for the in
struction of cadets. Army officers de
tailed to duty with it are devoting
themselves, so far as time permits, to
studies of methods of instruction and
administration, to the end of making
the work of military training fit more
easily into the courses of instruction
of educational institutions.
