NEXT DRAFT OF
REGISTERED MEN
Continued from first page

larly for the industries of the nation
for special service in staff corps and
departments. Bird. Young men of
draft age with certain educational
qualifications will be indicted into
service and sent to universities and
colleges and technical and secondary
schools to be instructed in technical
arts until they have acquired such pro-
ficiency as will justify their assign
ment to the special units that are be-
ing organized in considerable num-
bers.
In accordance with this plan the
Provost Marshal General has already
called for 10000 skilled artisans and
will shortly call for 10000 more young
men, graduates of the grammar
grades, who will be sent before the
first of April to various technical
schools throughout the United States
for two months course in training.
Regularly, thereafter, an increasing
stream of selected men will be sent
through educational and other train
ing institutions for this purpose.
To sum up, it may be said that
there will be no sudden Withdrawals
Of great numbers of men from the
ranks Of industry and agriculture dur
ing the coming summer, but men will
be called in relatively small numbers
throughout the year in such way as
to create the least possible interfer-
ence with industry and agriculture.
Men in classes other than Class 1, as
well as men in class /, will be selected
in small numbers either by reason of
their special skill or for purpose of
sending them to schools where they
will be given an opportunity of acquir-
ing such qualification.
