Az . much.needed stone IN the great
organizational structure that William
Booth has been building during the
past AZ years, this idea Of q school
for the systematic training OF his
workers has been in his mind for 9 v
eral years. On his last visit to the
United States the general made his
first tentative announcement Of the
plan. Since then he has worked out
many OF the details and he has Just
consented to the beginning Of pre-.
liminary work In this country where
the need for trained workers has been
especially great.
Need Of Trained Workers.
The scheme for a University OF HUI
manity grew naturally out OF the de-
yelopment of the 20 other depart
ments. With a field as wide as the
world itself the work OF the Salvation
Army is only limited by the number
OF workers that can be secured and
Its effectiveness by the understanding
and earnestness Of these workers. AS
uplift work has grown from local ef-
forts to help a few into a great In
elusive movement which must miss
none, the problems Of organization
have grown greater. Charity has be-
come a science and It's application an
art requiring the highest Development
Of personal qualities OF insight and
altruism.
This Is the new work planned by
Gen. Booth. Those women, for In

Shortly after the opening, however,
the market broadened and every one

My Dear Mr. Watson Let me know
whether you have had your editorial,
printed in June, entitled "The Catho-
lie Hierarchy and Politics." printed
in pamphlet form or not; if not, please
have it done at once Or instruct us
to have it done in our print shop, be-
cause this article should be circulated.
Now is the time to commence all
kinds Of work towards concentrating
the socialist, radical, free press, free
speech and liberty-loving votes all un-
der one banner for 1912. This matter
should be seriously canvassed and
thought out now. The plan should
comprise numerous auxiliary move
ments apparently working independ-
emily of each other.

On the theory that man may be

| want to assure you that | enjoy
every number Of your paper and mag
azine. Also l want to assure you that
the small vote you received does not
express the esteem in which you are
held. Many Of our people recognize
that you did more while in Congress
that many of the growing cocks who
have been there for twelve to fifteen
years.
It would make you rejoice if you
could know how the young men look
to you for information on the leading
issues. I have full set of your maya
zines and many Of your speeches. The
college boys often come to me to get
up-to-date information from your
publications. The prejudice with this
generation is very strong against you
because you brushed the hair the
the wrong way on the "Dear" Demo
cratic party and also because you have
not Joined the acclaim for W. j. B.
This will pass as the years go and you
will have the confidence of the COM
ing generation. There has been enough
abuse heaped upon you to break your
heart but the plaudits Of the people
will make it glad some day.

Ed. Comments:
Since DR.. Mcclure has entered the
ministry, we trust that his talent is
at length well invested, and that he is
doing good work.
Gordon .Nye is in New York City,
among the heather.
John Esten Cooke s Life of Lee is a
most readable and valuable work.
DR.. J. William Jones' Reminiscent
ces of Lee was authorized" by the
Lee family and by the Faculty of
the Washington and Lee University.
Then, there is the "Life" by Fitz-
hugh Lee, and another by DR.. ALL
friend, and the book on same subject
by Robert E. Lee, Jr., the son of our
great soldier.
Upon the whole, we incline to think
that John Esten Cooke may have
drawn the most life-like picture of
Lee, and given the most stirring and
satisfactory account Of his work. Cook
was a staff officer, first under Gen.
Stonewall Jackson and then under
Gen. j. E. B. Stuart. This being so,
he came in contact with Lee early in
the Civil War and was with him to the
last He saw the superb soldier in
all the varying phases of the strug-
gle, was a party Of the vast tragedy
in which Lee was the commanding
figure, and his book is indispensable
to anyone who wants to become ac-
quainted with the real Lee.
