And I desire to say emphatically that any honest work or work necessary to national defense, is honorable. Let no man be ashamed today to engage in any useful manual labor. But the training camps are calling; and a gradually increasing army of selectees from the draft lists are responding. Others volunteer for training in chosen lines, like civil pilot training, the army air corps, the navy, coast guard service. One cannot question the essential character of any of these lines of activities. In fact, dire necessity gives them special significance. Militar.y training thought of in peace times as affording an opportunity for a select type of education, for possible honors, promotion, security in old age, now has taken on the character of something on which hangs individual and national well-being. We must be prepared to meet force—trained and coordinated and disciplined force—with force, or risk enslavement. This army of young men going away to be trained for military services deserves our enthusiastic endorsement and backing. I lift my hat in reverent admiration to t h e young man who, whether volunteer or as a draftee forth to the training camp. But there is another army— the youths who neither enter some immediately essential work nor yet go to camp. Most of them are still in their teens —too young to enter military training. I think particularly of who have just graduated from high school or who are now in college.
