SELF-IMPROvEMENT

L
There is abundant evidence that the
American soldier and sailor are bound
to keep on learning while in training, 7
says Raymond b. Fosdick, chairman OF
the Commission on Training Camp Ac-
tivities I'VE get all sorts OF demands
which indicate that the men want to
stay abreast Of the world outside Of
camp.
AT a western cantonment the other
day. one of the camp librarians was i'm
plored by pair of young Kansans in
the draft army to buy some books on
intensive agriculture. They wanted to
study up and know something OF these
things when they returned from
France OF course, the library bought
them and they are now in use, DR..
Herbert Putnam. tie director Of the
Amrican Library Association, told me
the other day that ii was not uncou-
mon for the boys at Camp Meade to
call for technical books and exhaustive
studies on various topics, which cost as
much as So and So apiece.
I'm both library facilities and edu-
cational courses, the Commission on
Training Camp Activities is determined
that every reasonable demand be met.
Through the very efficient organization
Of the Amrican Library Association,
which has already supplied ever $4,000
books to our training camps, and the
educational machinery built up by our
special committee on education, the
government is doing what no other
government has before done for its mill
itary forces in training furnishing OPP
portunities for systematic seH-lm-
provement.

tive born Americans in the National
Army who for the first time are learn

back home-letters which those fam
lilies may not be able to read them
selves but which they would gladly
carry many miles to have read to them
Besides the instruction in reading
writing, spelling and elementary math-

educational facilities within the train
ing camps are being used for teaching
the English language to thousands or

Father and Son Week Now Or

The Matchmaking of the Father-and- Son
idea during the week of Lincoln's birth
day, February 11-17 is an attempt to re-
emphasize the imperativeness of real
.comradeship between father and son. This
Is essential if we are going to conserve
the best that is in our young men for
the part they are to play in the days
ahead. 1t provides an opportunity for
those natural instincts of the father to
find expression, some of which have been
dormant for years.
The program Is a patriotic measure, for
it should stabilize the home and help to
clarity our thinking at time when our
whole mode of thought and living is be-
ing re-cast in Il new mould
Rural, railroad, industrial and city as
sociations will cooperate with church
eS, Industries, civic and other organixa-
tons. Proclamations or messages win be
issued by governors and mayors. and
probably not less than a quarter of a mill
lion fathers and teen age boys will be
challenged with message that will throh
with patriotism that win awake charac-
ter building ideals and that win summon
them to genuine sacrificial service This
same message win be carried to thousands
of enlisted men in the camps of this
country and France who will have their
thoughts turned to home.

IT'S FROM OUR BOY

Never have letters from sons meant
so much to fathers and mothers as
today. They are almost like letters
from the dead. They come from the
sons in the front trenches to parents
who have given their boys to their
country. and kissed them goodby feel
ing deep in their hearts that they may
nevsg see their faces again, but proud
of their courage and devotion. AS one
said, 1T breaks my heart to have
him go, but if he wouldn't go, l would
despise him." These parents could
not bring their sons back, neither
would they if they could, but they are
keeping home in the boys heart; they
are strengthening his will to fights
they are maintaining his morale. There
is no whimper nor whim and with no,
coddling pity would they break him
from stern duty's call but they knit the
warmest socks and mittens for then9
and every stitch is knotted in love. a.
strong stern father with boys at the
front said to us: II never knew before
how much 1 loved my boy; and the
boy has found new tenderness as he
has written home" or as one of our
Canadian men wrote: HE goes over
the top with a new will with the let
heart" A full million letter sheets.

way into the mails every day. The
last order for paper was for, 250,00O,000
sheets. A censor said that 80 out OF
93 letters from one camp were not only
written on the association letterhead
but spoke oS what the association had
meant to the soldiers life. In every
building the man is faced with the
sign Write Home Today" and the X.
M. c. A. takes on a new meaning to
the parents and they write 1T has

writes, II heard a man today at the,

found me determined to be that kind

tiers are to be treasured like last
will and testament, the revelation of q
boys heart the declaration of his mind
and soul.

ward unit wrote TO his father, "Your
