what they did to the farms in France and Belgium.

Denver and was later sent to San
Francisco where l stayed for awhile
and was then transferred to San Diego
and later to the United States Naval
Radio school, situated here at Harvard
University, where am studying to be
wireless operator. This is one of
the best branches of the service and q
man who is fortunate enough to get in
here has 4 good opportunity for pro-
motion, every one who leaves being q
petty officer.
There are at present about two
thousand and five hundred boys here
and it is a pleasure to be with such q
bunch of nice fellows for most of them
are educated and come from good fam
lilies.
We get up at $50 every morning
and get our barracks cleaned up and
ourselves in order for the days work,

which begins at fifteen minutes after
eight. Half of the study period is de-
voted to the study of the theory of
wireless telegraphy and the other half
is devoted to sending and receiving
messages on the wireless instruments
installed in our class rooms. We drill
one hour each day and Saturday morn
ings. At $50 P. N. every one, not on
duty has liberty till school time the
following day.
The boys occupy dormitories FORM
erly occupied by the Harvard students
namely; Pierce and Austin Halls used
as class rooms and for the administra-
tion of the school business and Per-
kins, Hastings, Craigie and Heming-
way are used rs sleeping quarters.
The men have beds to sleep in and the
buildings are all steam heated at all
times.
Everything goes smoothly at the
school for all men who appreciate the
great opportunity offered them here
but there are some Of the boys who
break the rules and these fellows have
extra duty which consists of sweeping
floors, picking up paper or perhaps
drilling on Saturday evening when
they would otherwise have liberty.
When a man has finished the course
Of seventeen weeks he has q chance to
60 to the fleet, long distance station,
construction of wireless outfits on the
ships which are being built or to the
aviators school at the Massachusetts,
School of Technology in Boston.
We hear a great deal about TIE
coolness of the Eastern people in the
South and in the West, but, judging
the way the boys are treated by these
same people, we know that there are
no warmer hearted or better people in
the world than you find in this part of
the country and we always have a
home to go to and the best of enter
tainments, as well ~ churches and
other good places to CO. This makes
it pleasant for the boys and we usually
have merry bunch Of fellows, but oc-
casionally we see some of the boys
with far-a-way look on his face and
we know that he is thinking Of some
quiet home and loved ones some where
in our grand old continent, but when
we think of the many boys who do not
have the privilege Of even being in this
country we should be glad that we are
in it even if we are 4 long way from
home.
Uncle Sam is truly 4 great old uncle
and we are all goirg to stand by him
as we 60 down the tide of life We may
add something to civilization that will
bring about higher standard in life
