SOLDIERS TO Be
TAUGHT TRADES
so u. S. INSTRUCTORS
BUSY IN BRITAIN
Y. M. G. A. Plans to Instruct
All Men in Industries.

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Thousands of
American soldiers who have never
had any trade are going to have a
chance to learn one under the tuteI-
age of Y. VI. c. A. instructors before
they return to America. 1t is hoped
by this plan that the soldiers, no mat
ter what their vocation before the
war, will go back home better equip
ped than before they enlisted.
Fifty instructors from the United
States already are busy with classes
of American soldiers in the United
Kingdom and at least fifty more are
needed before January /, 1919. 1t is
estimated that for each of the one
hundred Y. NJ. c. A. secretaries en-
listed in this work five volunteer in
structors can be Obtained from the
ranks of the soldiers. This would
give a faculty in the British Isles
of six hundred men capable of teach
ing 10000 men in actual class work;
between 10000 and 10000 in corrc-
spondence studies and of giving lee
lures every week to from $4,000 to
so, 600 troops.
On New zealand Plan.
The work in France is much great
er, of course, and there the Y. NJ. C,
A. is receiving the cooperation of the
military forces in fitting the Ameri-
can soldier for a useful occupation
when he has finished the job urSler
Generals Foch and Pershing.
This great Y. NJ. c. a. plan is basec
upon the work the New Zealand Y. NJ.
C. A. has done in England which has
challenged American american.
American workers have visited the
New Zealand camps for convalescent
troops in the southeast of England
where the New Zealanders are culti-
waiting intensiyely a 40 acre farm ano
where the New Zealand troops are
learning to be better farrners than
ever.
Technical instruction. for American
soldiers is to include the study of au-
tonobile gas engines and aircraft en-
gines; mathematics, from arithmetic
to trigonometry; mechanical drawing,
agricultural drawing and Topographic
cal draughting: plan reading and es-
tfmating; principles of mechanics;
principles of electricity; arts and
crafts; general principles of agrlcul-
ture. which will include model farms
and demonstration in truck gardening
and the raising of poultry, hogs. cat
