Description

The R. O. T. C.--A Training for Youth: Ever since the 1890's, when military drill was instituted at Bangor High, feeling has run high concerning the value of the R. O. T. C. Opponents of drill have argued war, expense, and many other disadvantages or even dangers. In every case, however, the accusations have come from people who dislike military organizations because they suggest war. We believe that these objectors do not realize the real meaning and value of the R. O. T. C. Some might even uphold the complete abandonment of our regular army, although I believe this to be clearly unsound. It should be very evident that national safety as well as a great saving in men and money would be afforded us if our national reserve were capable of bringing to a swift conclusion any war into which we might be forced.
