Subtle, urbane and inexhaustibly energetic, they straddle the question of the South's inevitable industrialization, preach a Southern culture...
...trek to the Artillery range at the foot of Mount Mansfield is no problem in this day of motorization. By noon July 12th camp was re-organized and preparations made to follow out the ideal life of the Artilleryman: "March and shoot." Tactical problems (Roops), Artillery Firing of all types; even demonstration firing of the heavy calibre 155 mm. adjustment of Artillery Fire by Airplane, Camouflage and Field Fortification and an overnight tactical maneuver; all had their part in the schedule of activities...
