CoL.E.M.Lamso1l has received the following letter: WAR DEPARTMENT Office of the Chief of
 Ordnance 451 Penn. Ave, Washington, D. C.,
 Sept. 6, 1918


 l. As head of Lamson Business Col lese you are in a position to render great service to the Government by en- couraging your students to qualify for positions in Washington. This means the taking of Civil Service test. but, as YOU can see by the enclosed an- nouncement. the examination for stem ographer and typewriter is not difficult and the various supplemental registers esta blished make it possible for com parative novices, who are capable. to secure appointments.
 2. The War has created a need for an enormous army of stenographers and typists. upon which depends in large measure the success of the fight ing army The typewriter" army at this time is not sufficient to meet the demands and this situation must he remedicd immediately if our fighting army is not to suffer.
 3. You have doubtless received ap peals similar to this from other govern ment departments and that fact should increase rather than diminish the i'm portance of this one, for as the need becomes greater, efforts to meet that need must be redoubled. It is earnestly requested that you use forceful methods in bringing this matter to the attention of your students and graduates. It should be put before them, not as business proposition. nor as an adven- ture nor as an educational opportunity lalt f. I,n al of a . matter of patriotism and humanity. The sooner our troops are properly equipped and sent abroad the sooner will the war be over and the fewer will be the lives sacrificed.
 4. Living conditions and expenses in Washington are of course far from nor mal, but there is no question that any one who comes in the right spirit namely. that of doing his bit" and who is willing to economiZe and tolerate comparatively trifling inconveniences. will find the salary provided by the Government adequate. Large dormi- tories are now being built. They will be finished in a few months and will provide reasonable and attractive liv- ing accommodations. Until these dor mitories are completed, the Room Reg istration Office which has been estab- 1 lished under Government direction, will | continue to assist all newcomers in i getting satisfactorily located
 ,. This department would appreciate any suggestions you might have to offer which would aid in securing sten- ographers and typists in greater num- bers than past efforts have done. It is also requested that you report to this office the steps taken by you in acting upon the appeal contained in this letter
 Respectfully.
