Excerpt from The War Department Commission on Training Camp Activities An army in fighting trim is a contented army; contentment for the average man cannot be maintained without the normal relations of life. The task of this Commission, therefore, is to re-establish, as far as possible, the old social ties - to furnish these young men a substitute for the recreational and relaxational opportunities to which they have been accustomed - in brief, to rationalize, as far as it can be done, the bewildering environment of a war camp. It is also for the Commission to prevent and suppress certain vicious conditions traditionally associated with armies and training camps. To a great extent the Commission has employed in these two important activities the machinery of organizations and agencies heretofore interested along such lines. Except where necessary, it has not created any new machinery. To the Young Men's Christian Association and the Knights of Columbus, for instance, the Commission has looked to supply a large share of the club life and entertainment inside the training camps.
