Although uncertain as to the exact | nature of the work, Mr. Boyd is keenly > anxious to accomplish what good he I may in the splendid work that is being j done by so many young American col lege and university men on the French j front. As a corporal of an eight-man squad at Plattsburg last summer he : ! absorbed much first-hand knowledge j i of the requirements of military serv- i i ice that will unquestionably stand him . in good stead in the work that he has , undertaken in the interest of the , Allies. To Study French Methods The presence in France in this line 1 of service of many of his friends has I done as much as' anything to persuade j this ardent supporter of the principle j i of "preparedness" to east his lot with | them, and it is his purpose to make a i detailed study of the French methods of training and military action, which \ i will be of inestimable value to the ; j i cause of preparedness in this country : I in so far as he will be able to con ; tribute to it. For a long time he has , I been intensely interested in the "proper i preparedness" propaganda and re- \ cently exerted hi* Influence in creating popular interest in the Plattsburg training euinp idea among the students I of the llarrisburg Academy, many of ! whom luive signified their intention of i attending the splendid outdoor tented city where they will be carefully in structed in the school of the soldier.
