 Inquiries are pouring in regarding the course and the following details will be of large interest here and else where
 It is felt that this years session of the School must be adapted to war necessities as far as possible and whereas the first encampme1t of the National Service school was devoted to awakening the interest of Ameri- can women in national preparedness and the second encan1pment to ih- struction. in Red Cross and other re- lief work. the 1918 eneampnnent must turn their energies toward the prac- tical training 4/ American women in Agriculture, intensive gardening and increased food pfoduction; in food conservation and national economies; in the reconstruction arts and crafts. This last named department of train- | ing enables women to teach the mained and disabled from the war such simple means of livelihood that l they may be reclaimed to economic 1 independence, and also to replace men at the front in such plain business 1 arts as, typewriting, telegra phy and 1 telephone operating, etc. Red Cross 1 courses and instruction for lay wo- men will /il be available for stu | dents who have not had the adyan- l tage of them.
 Tn this way the women receiving l practical training will become i'm
 mediate and valuable assets in war 1 service and also stimulate the inter est of American women. Three courses are offered for each | nt- NTa 1 tiohal Service school
 l A student may select whichever one | of the courses she may desire. The course selected must be indicated in writing at the time formal applica- l tion for entrance is made.
 | No course can be changed after the opening of the school: The elective studies may be taken only during
 hours not occupied by the regular l course periods.
