school has been appointed in New Ulm
to enroll all high school boys between
the ages Of Is and 20 in the ranks Of
farm workers for the coming summer
campaign in the fields. There is a
county overseer who takes his orders
from State Superintendent for Boys
Farm Reserve Workers, Don D. Lecohier
Of st. Paul. The county overseer then
divides the work up among the different
communities Of the county.
Farm Workers For Eight Weeks
There ale from so to 20 boys in the
local high school Of the ages mentioned
and the plan is to enroll them for 8
weeks work during the summer time.
This will give them some. little vacation
time while it enables them to work
during the very busiest farm season.
At the end of weeks service they will
receive a badge. Boys who served last
year on the farms as long as weeks
have already earned their service badge
and will be enrolled again this year for
further service. Farmers who can make
use Of these boys in their work this sum
mer are requested to get into touch with
Prof. Schrammel, letting him know so
that place can be found for the reserve
force of workers. Boys not in high
school may also enroll themselves in
this work Of helping to win the war
by the production of food.
The Sunday meeting at the High
School for men of the first draft was
attended by about IS young men Of
New Ulm and vicinity, chiefly those Of
Glass No. !. The object Of the meet
ing was to. interest these men in getting
a little preliminary training which would
enable them to find their places in the
United States service to the best adj
vantage for themselves and the army
as well.
Dunwoody Instructor Here
Prof. Emerson, instructor at the Dun
woody Institute of Minneapolis spoke
to the young men describing the work
that is done at their school to prepare
men for the service. The Dunwoody
Institute was turned over during the
year for the use Of the Government for
the training of men, particularly in work
which will be of assistance in the aerial
forces of the United States. It requires
SO men working on the ground for every
man that flies in the service and this
means that a great number of men must
be trained rapidly and those who under
stand gas engines, automobile repairing,
and woodwork are particularly in
demand.
The local school offers assistance to
young men in the way of learning wood
working. Stenography and typewriting
courses are also carried here. The local
school forces have also been getting in
touch with various business men in
town and are finding opportunities for
the young men-to make themselves of
service in blacksmithing, horseshoeing,
motor driving and automobile repairing.
Cooking is also a line of work in which
the Government needs help and one Of
the local bakers has volunteered to take
young men into his plant and allow them
to get the benefit of actual experience
there. Domestic science matters can be
taught in the high school if there should
be any Of the young men who wish to 60
in for the cooking branch extensively.
Army Needs Trained Men
The plan all over the United States
is to have young men make use Of every
opportunity they can find to prepare
themselves for the industrial service
of the army since war nowadays means a
great deal more than merely to shoulder
a gun and march off to battle.
