The Council of Churches of Kansas City investigated the character teaching by the Junior R. O. T. C. in Kansas City and approved that phase of its work.
Right here is an opportunity to study O. T. C. work. Many delegates are from cities having no R.
O. T. C. unit. There are nine schools where R.
O. T. C. is taught. One, Lathrop Trade school, is across street from Convention hall.
Let those who would know the facts query principal, teachers, custodian or assistants (all men and women having contact with the boys). I believe these men and women will be unanimous in saying that "force" is not taught, "killing" is not taught, "militarism" or the "glory of war" is not taught, but that on the other hand respect for authority, self discipline, personal hygiene, self respect, truth, honesty, tolerance and other attributes of character building make the R. O. T. C.
one of the most important subjects taught in the school. CO-OPERATION IS ASKED. PRIDE IN R. O. T.

To The Star: All sincere men and women, whatever their views, cannot but admire and respect the calm, unbiased. Christian procedure of the Methodist convention. Of course there are a One gentleman would songs containfens extremistant ing such words as "Forward into battle see His banners go." Should he not be consistent and delete from the Bible those favorable references to soldiers and fighting by the Apostle Paul? Be it remembered that soldiers saved Paul's life at the temple. Missionaries, including Methodists, at Peking in the Boxer War were most glad we had an army, navy and marine corps to protect and later rescue them while the group at Pa Ting Fu, without protection, was (I visited the Methodist missionaries at Peking a few weeks after their rescue and I know how very favorable they were to a reasonable preparedness.) WOODROW WILSON AN EXAMPLE.
This great Methodist conference is composed of sincere, educated men. Naturally there are differences of opinion. Some of them have an attitude on military and naval questions like that distinguished student of history, ex-college president and exWoodrow Wilson, held when governor, he was elected President. Then realizing that the world of today and down through the ages would hold him responsible for the fate of this great nation, and learning facts that only a President and his immediate associates could be in a position to know, Woodrow Wilson had a change of heart. He was still imbued with his ideals for everlasting world peace, but caution impelled him to adopt a more practical means.
He began to urge larger army and a real national dea fense policy. Woodrow Wilson met opposition, opposition, opposition from great of his friends. He took the many question to the people. In January, 1916, he toured westward and, as he realized the extent of the opposition (by sincere, misinformed people in most cases) he became more vehement. February 2, 1916, in Convention hall, Kansas City, where the Methodist conference is now session, he said, referring to the lack of preparation prior to the SpanishAmerican War, "You have sent thousands of men to their death because they were ignorant." (Were he alive today he could say the same of our World War.) In his address, he also stated, "Some gentlemen go about and prate of military establishments.
They see phantoms. They dream dreams. Militarism in the United States springing out of any of the proposals of this administrationwhy, a man must have 8 strong imagination indeed to conceive such nonsense as that!" Yet our present national defense policy is one of the proposals of that administration, proposed by peace loving Woodrow Wilson and urged by his secretary of war, Newton D.

After that war, the same President caused our national defense policy to be revised to conform to lessons learned in the World War and it stands today with practically no important changes as when signed by Woodrow Wilson. This defense policy is often misunderstood. For instance how many of our Methodist delegates know that the junior R.
O. T. C. differs from the senior R. O.
T. as much as Boy Scout work does from the training of a policeman? The army of the United States, composed of the regular army, national guard and organized reserves (with the senior R. O. T. reservoir for officers, but involving no oath of allegiance) is national police force.
The junior R. T. C. is post graduate Boy Scout work having as its direct and immediate aims character building, citizenship training and physical development. Some of Its boys attend Sunday school while others are never inside a church.

At colleges where drill is compulsory they attack it on grounds of compulsion, inferring that if made optional the opposition would cease, and yet the same men at colleges where it is optional make their attack on other grounds.
