teacher is employed only a part Of the

much Of her time and part Of her

"For example, the best trained

must be made to feel that they are

The local agent of the Great North

a new passenger tariff and instruc-

how to catch. While a detachment Of
French and American soldiers were

"Troupes" as Well as Troops.
Soldiers in the military training
camps are to be schooled in amateur
dramatics so that when they get to
France, where facilities for amuse-
ment are limited, they will be able to
provide their own shows and amuse-
ments.
A plan for making amateur dra-
mates a part of the comprehensive
program of entertainment that the
war department commission on train
ing activities has instituted in the
war camps has been drawn up by Ray
mond B. Fosdick, chairman of the
commission, following successful ex-
periments which already have been
made along this line in a few selected
camps.
It is proposed to organize soldiers
possessing dramatic talent into groups
of units, selecting as their leader one
of their number who has had previous
experience in theatricals or shows
marked aptitude in this direction. The
general organization and development
of the amateur companies would be
under the supervision of director of
amateur dramatics, experienced in COL
lege work or elsewhere, whom the
training camp commission would at
tach to it's Liberty theater in each
camp in which the soldier-actors would
give their performances.
The plan is similar to that en-
ployed in England, where the govern
men encourages the soldiers in organ
izing dramatic companies and sup
plies them with single stage proper
ties and costumes to lend the correct
color to their productions, although it
does not send shows into the camps,
as is dine in thi country. The whole
idea, Fosdick explains, is to teach the
men to be self-amusing and will in
no way interfere with the commits
sion's plan of hating the big theatrical
producers go into the camps to put
on their productions for the benefit of
the soldiers.
The Army Joke.
Certainly one of the bitternesses of
life in the army is the army joke,
which is handed On. from one man to
another until it returns to it's maker
very stale. For example:
