Show CIVILIAN TRAINING WILL PREPARE BOYS FOR SERVICE More than one million boys,, sixteen six-teen and seventeen years of age, are expected to take voluntary civilian training courses this fall which are designed to prepare them for more effective service in the armed forces. It is recalled that during the school year that ended last June nearly 60,000 high-school students completed courses adjusted to army ar-my needs. Others took courses preparatory pre-paratory to officer - candidate schools. The program designed to reach boys of this age emphasizes the determination of this country to fight the war to complete victory. It is wise, no doubt, to give the youngsters preparatory instruction instruc-tion but, even in the midst of war, it is hard to comprehend the complete com-plete nature of our war effort exemplified ex-emplified by such a- program. |
