COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF DRAFTING

The army, large machine corpo .ations,
Marine Corps, shipbuilding companies
and innumerable other institutions re-
quire the services of craftsmen. Never
has there been such an unsuppliable de-
mand for men experienced in drafting
work. Facilities for preparing residents
OF this city for such service have been
adequately instituted at the Columbia
School of Drafting. OF which Row c.
Clatiin is the president. Glasses are held
day and evening. all the year round.
This school has for many years concen-
trated all its efforts in furnishing a COM
plete course in drafting and has reached
point of enviable ability to properly
prepare its students to accept responsible
positions either in government service
or with private concerns. Start to pre-
pare yourself today-be ready for a
worthwhile position.
The great opportunity offered IL evil
denced by the unusual numbers OF M
sitions open at most excellent salaries,
and the fact that in many drafting lines
the civil service examination has in ef-
feet been waived.

NATIONAL RADIO SCHOOL.

The growth of wireless telegraphy has
been more rapid and wonderful than any
other means used for the transmission
OF human intelligence. Marconi, the in
ventOr and first promoter OF this science,
is now a young and an active worker
in the present war. During the few
years the United States government has
devoted to the development of wireless
communication. the interest has been so
intense that we now lead the world in
the extensive use of this great branch
of the electrical field. Our high power
stations in the Philippine Islands, Canal
Zone, Alaska and on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts are in constant communi-
cation with all our battieships. Every
movement OF our fleets is directed by
the NAVY Department at Washington
from the large Arlington station to our
ships through the network Of these high
power stations. Each Individual vessel
of q fleet is instructed by wireless mes
sages from the flagship as to the exact
part she will take during an engage
ment.
The position OF the wireless man is
now quite definite. There is no time
either in peace or war that he does not
have his share; no division OF the army
in which he does not have his place,
whether 1t be infantry. artillery, coast
defense, air service or cavalry.
This extensive use of wireless will re-
quire thousands OF operators who pos
sess exceptional skill. The National Radio
School now maintains day and evening
classes to meet these needs. The work
is conducted by men Of ability and pro-
fessional standing in this line. Mr.. ] e,
Smith, president OF the school, has had
twelve years Of experience in teaching
electrical engineering. Mr.. Walter Van
Nostrand. jr., code instructor in charge,
is in the United States Radio Service and
Mr.. Derek Breitenbsch, chief operator,
comes to US from the Marconi station at
Cape Hatteras.

The Herald's Sunday Sermon

The following sermon was written espe-
cially for The Washington Herald BY
Rev. Howard L Stewart. pastor of the
Second Baptist Church, Fourth street
and Virginia avenue southeast.
Text: Beauty for ALhes'-Isaiah ast ehaptsr-
THE PASSION FLOWER OF
LIBERTY"
TN sorrow shalt thou bring forth thy
children" To Eve, of old came the curse
and II is forever the epitome OF every
worthy achievement. All great ideas
are born at the foot of some cross.
Genius has had ever to be cructfed before
It could arise from the dead. History's
pages are crimson with sacrifice Tears
have chiseled the finest statues and stain
ed the canvass upon which artists have
painted their loftiest conceptions. As
Lowell says:
''TiS sorrow builds the shining ladder up
Whose golden rounds are our calamities."
The text is true in the material realm
or world Of nature. The decay and de-
struction OF the fauna and flora Of past
ages, has given US our mineral and coal
deposits and our richness Of soil. When
the SHOWS OF winter melt away, we have
winged minstrels among the apple bios
SONS. prodigal June fills the air with
the perfume OF paradise and all nature
the shimmering sunshine.
Verihcation is found, too In the mon
archical realm or world of statecraft.
God brought nations into existence and
when they failed to fulfill His purpose,
they fell and upon the ashes of dead
nations, other nations have arisen.
Phoenix like, with truth as their corner
stone. with liberty as their capstone and
with equality as their motto.
New OCCASIONS teach new duties,
Tine makes ancient good uncouth
They must upwards still and onNards
Who would keep abreast Of truth"
Out of the night that covered the dark
ages we thank God for the, unconquer-
able soul of such movements at the
renaissance OF letters, the reformation in
religion and the revolution among ma
tions.
In our own America a smoke is seen
arising from the battlehelds OF the Revo-
Iutionary war and in the curling wreaths
thereof we read the name OF a new re-
public, dedicated to the proposition that
all men are free and equal. And today
we look out upon a united land, where
there is no North and no South, and II
Mason and Dixon's line exists at all,
It is only as the red scar OF honor across
the breast Of the republic, which marks
the unity OF our once divided country"
"one nAs one land, heart. one hand
One nation eVemore."
The text is also well written in the
moral realm or world OF righteousness
