WANT TELEGRAPHY
IN SCHOOLS HERE
CAPTAIN KICK WRITES LOCAL
EOARD OF EDUCATION
ALONG THIS LINE.

The War Department through Capt.
John A. Kick, Capt. of the Signal
Corps, U. S. Army, has addressed a
letter to the president of the Board
of Education of this city urging the
formation of the classes for the in
struction for ~telegraphers for serv-
ice in the U. S. Army. Capt. Kick
states that various schools and in
stitutions throughout the central de-
partment are responding promptly
and cooperating to the fullest ex.
tent in this very patriotic work. The
establishment of these classes will
not only fulfill a patriotic purpose,
but will present the young men OF
the community an opportunity to pre-
pare themselves for a technical
branch of the service. Provision has
been made for furnishing telegraph
equipment, including keys and sound.
ers, for schools. The board is urged to
take advantage of this opportunity to
give young men of draft military age
a chance to avail themselves of this
course in telegraphy to prepare for
a preferred branch of the army
namely, the Signal Corps.
The equipment for this work will
be carried under a form of loan by
the Government, with a possibility
that arrangements can be later made
to transfer the ownership to any or
ganized school, but it is not expect
ed that such transfer will be made
to organizations or institutions not
recognized as regular institutions Of
learning
