GOVERNMENT
ASKS COLLEGE MEN
TO REGISTER
Working Plans Explained by
Charles Warner

This summer every healthy col
lege student who is not receiving
military training ought to be at
work.
Hard .physic work is the best
recreation a student can get, and
while our country is at war it is a
disgrace for anyone who can work
to spend his time in idleness or
play.
Every man who has ever done
any work on farm owes it to his
country and to our allies to work
on farm this summer. The world
is short of food. American farms
must supply the demand.
Those who can not be of use on
the farms can find other valuable
work. Students skilled in any
trade can probably find place in
some war industry. For unskilled
or common labor" there is great
demand in certain parts of The
country where important war WORT
is being done. The college SUDDEN
should not expect or ask for any
thing very glorious in the way o
summer vacation service. Thu
country wants of him hard work
possibly in an insignificant posi-
ton, with no reward or recognition
; coming to him other than fal
wages and his own satisfaction !,
taking his part in the great fight
The conditions surroundin
farm work and common labor
are not particularly attractive
, The work is hard. There is littl
in it that appeals to the imagine
! ton. The national significance Q
: the particular job to be done is nc
: easily apparent. Nevertheless, tn
man on the farm or the commo
> laborer who is working in conne'
ton with a Government contra(
y is serving his country to his u
most. The most illustrious gener'
is doing no more.
Primarily, the duty to find
;, place to work rests on the studel
!, himself. The Government is reac
- to help him find chance to wor
:, It will find places for many st,
" dents; the others should use the
. own initiative and find places fl
:, themselves.
. To help you find place, II
y United States Government is as
= ing you to enroll in the Collegia
Section of the Public Service R
serve, which is the recruitir
y branch of the United States Ell
5 ployment Service of the Depal
IS ment of Labor. There is an otfic
l. in your college in charge of Il
2, work. Through him the Emplo
II ment Service Of the United State
1T which is looking up places on t.
re farms and in industries, is put
- your service. 1t will have positio
ID ready for some men rs soon as tn
he leave college.
