The state university has sent
man to the Des Moines cantonment
to make a months survey Of condi-
lions among men in the camp, with
a view to making the English courses
which are to be given for the en-
camped men best suited for their
needs. The greatest problem shown
by a hurried examination OF camp
conditions was illiteracy. Thirty
men in one division could neither
read nor write. In company Oh
men from the Minnesota woods a
large number were found who were
unable to write letters home. The
percentage OF illiterates from Iowa,
tits thought. will be lower than from
the other states.
To an Iowa newspaper man has
come the honor of being the first
person to publish newspaper in one
of the sixteen cantonments. Lieu
tenant l.. r. Fairall, former stu
dent at the state university and later
connected with the Clinton Advertis-

Organ of the ssth Division, y. 3.
n A." Like its army, first in the
field" is its slogan. While other
soldiers were trying to orient them
selves in their new home, Lieuten-
ant Fairall was using his spare time
in filling the columns OF his first
four page, eight-column paper. 1t
