��I want vim in everything. I want this camp to be the most military in the United States. Smile; be courteous; be patient.

You have come here to perform a task. Your officers w^ill carry out their part and by the progress w^hich was made yesterday, and today, I am inspired by the hope that you will carry out your part.

You men have come here because you have made a decision be- tween right and wrong. There are only two things in this world right

and wrong. God has given you a conscience which is His voice speaking within you. When anything in your daily lives come up there is a broad line of demarcation between the right and the wrong and in your de- cisions never waver, but manfully speak out for the right. That habit of decision is one of the most important things in military life.

Upon your decisions may depend men s lives. You must accustom yourselves to decisions. You w^ill find in this Camp a great many things to w^hich you are not accustomed. The attitude you take tow^ard them will determine your success or failure.
