So JEWISH WORKERS
GOING "OVER THERE
Col. Barker Bids Godspeed to
the Graduates Of Train.
ing School.

The whole souled cooperation be-
tween the seven great organizations
working for the happiness and welfare
of our soldiers and sailors was re-
Gently illustrated at the graduation
exercises OF the tenth class Of the
Jewish Welfare Boards Training
School in New York. Col. William S.
Barker, who went to France represent
ing the Salvation Army with the first
contingent of our troops and has been
"over there" fifteen months, was the
principal speaker and wished the fifty
eight Jewish workers of the class God
speed, while Louis Marshall, the promi-
nent Jewish attorney and phi.anthro-
pist of New York, lauded the work Of
the Salvation Army among the boys
at the front
"What our fighting boys need is in
.spiration and heart and character In
those who are there to help them" !"
declared Col. Barker "You will rep
resent In the camps and overseas the
ideals and standards of the Jewish
faith, and 1t is up to you above all
things to be consistent In your re-
ligious practices Practice what you
preach. That, am sure, has been
the secret of our own success. II you
live up to the principles of your faith
and give what you have to give from q
heart big with love, the boys will re.
spect you, whether they be Protestant,
Catholic or Jew"
The newly graduated field workers
will make a total Of 260 men doing
field work In our camps and naval
training stations under the auspices
Of the Jewish Welfare Board. The
Board has about fifty "huts" In the
various camps and maintains centers
In all large cities where soldiers and
sailors of all faiths are welcomed. A
headquarters has recently been estab-
lished in Paris, and 100 men are being
recruited here for overseas work.
There are now nearly 125,O00 Jews
serving In the army and navy.

dierS. The board teaches the English
language American civics and ideals
to thousands of Young Jewish men
who were inducted into service after
only q few years residence in this
country. While safeguarding his re-
ligious rites, the board assists IN the
process of welding the Jewish soldier
Into the solid American unit and in
bridging over the differences between
him and the others.

Editor of Sentinel:
1t is very important that the
following information be given
the widest possible distribution
as quickly as possible.
F. A. Lang, Col. u. S. A.,
District Military Inspector
The War Department has iss-
ued instructions defining its pol
icy in regard to the change in
educational requirements for ad-
missission the collegiate section,
Students Army Training Corps.
An effort is being made to keep
these units up to authorized
strength. Due to pressing need
for officers in all branches of the
service, men are continually be-
ing transferred to Officers Train
ing Camps. A new sysem of re-
cruiting these sections is being
worked out, and pending its COM
pletion, the war department di-
rects that institutions where pre-
sent number of indicted men is
less than its authorized quota,
may certify for induction such
students who do not have the
prescribed number of units, but
whom the head of the instution
and the commanding officer of
the unit, jointly, believe to be
competent to persue one of the
programs prescribed.
Due consideration will be given
to such high SCHOOL, training as
applicants have had, also to vo-
cational and business experience,
to previous military training,
and to such personal qualifica-
tions as are relevant to the max
ing of an officer.
The purpose of the foregoing
arrangement is not to abolish
educational standards, but to
permit such relaxation as is nec-
essary to bring the strength of
the corps to its total authoriza-
ton.
An applicant for admission to
the Students Army Training
Corps should apply by mail inn
mediately to the educational in
stitution of his choice for detail
led information.
