10th Areo Squad
Boys in Virginia
Frank Heapy Writes of Move
from Kelly Field to New
Camp in Virginia

Well l have moved and am now
here in Virginia. We left Kelly
Field, December 18th about noon and
arrived here Thursday afternoon about
4 p. M, after being on the road l25
hours. We came through Texas, Ok
lahoma, Arkansas, Missouri Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia
and Virginia to here 6 miles from the
ocean. Our long time on the road was
caused by the rails spreading one
place in Texas and the engine ran
off the track. We were not travel
ing fast, luckily as we were near the
out skirts of town and no one was
hurt much, one fellow got his head
cut up little but that was all except
we all got badly shaken up and it
tore loose few of the car seats.
This camp is new and although the
barracks are good the country around
is nothing but a sea of mud and
stumps and pine trees. The weather
here today is bright and warm and it
is drying up little but it is just
feet above sea level so it does not dry
up very quick. The nights are just a
little snappy and there is generally
a half inch or so of ice in the morn.
ing.
l hear you are not having very
nice weather up there and it makes
it pretty awkward to get around much
l suppose. l do not know how long
we may be kept here but l expect it
will be few weeks anyway but of
course no one knows. When we
finally left Kelly Field we only had
about 2 days notice and then we were
not sure where we were going. We
passed through so me mighty punk
looking country on our way here and
can hardly see how some of the
poor hillside farmers can make liv-
ing growing little patches of corn on
the steep hil!sides among the rocks
and stumps.
I am very we'll except for having
a bad cold as our feet are generally
wet about half the time and it takes
a while to get used to it. Well, l
have not much more news so guess |
will close for this time,
AS Ever,

OUR DUTY.

Address OF Ingvard NJ. Ander
sen, delivered at the annua.
meeting of Dana College ant
Trinity Seminary Alumni As
ISOLATION, May, 16, 1917.
It has never been my strong
point to remember dates. But
there is, in the history Of oul
country, one date that | can re
member. | remember it, not mere.
ly because it is a recent date
but because it is an important
date. | refer to the sixth day
of April, 1917. 1t is an important
date in our history, as well as
in the history Of the world.
The sixth day of April, 1917,
marks both the close of one
chapter and the beginning of an
other in the history of the United
States of America. The chapter
which is closed deals primarily
with the privileges enjoyed by
those who came from across the
seas to make their homes in
this country. The chapter, which
is lately begun will deal with the
duty Of these same people to-
ward this their new home.
The word ''duty' was a
stranger in America prior to
April 6, 1917.-But the word "pri-
vilege" was well known, per-
.haps too well. 1t was a privilege
for any one to come to Ameri-
ca TO better his conditions fl
nancially, socially, politically, and
educationally. There were no in
surmountable barriers to the man
with a will to work his way up
in any of the lines mentioned

young men and women will got
Fellow alumni of Dana College
and Trinity Seminary, here lies
onr duty. We must work for our
Alma Mater. We must help her
to push forward as a first class
school. We owe it to her and
We owe it to our church.
We owe it to our church be-
cause as a church we must have
a college. We run too great a
risk in sending our young men
land women to the Christless
schools round about rs, or should
! say worse than Christless, for
in many schools Christ IS pre-
scented to the students, but not
as the Savior from sin and eter-
nal death. And if we are con-
tented with sending our young
people to the schools Of other
churches, why not close our
churches too, and 90 to the other
churches. If we believe that the
United Danish evangelical Lu-
theran Church has a mission to
fulfill, let us not ignore one Of
the most important helps in full
filling hat mission.
We must assist Dana College
and Trinity Seminary in two
ways. 1t costs money to run a
school. We must see to It, that
the money needed IS provided.
Our people have the money, and
most of them are willing to give
wherever they see it is needed.
Here it is needed. Let Us make
it clear to them. We must have
money and we can get It.
And we must have students.
The alumni Of Dana College and
Trinity Seminary are scattered,
not only throughout the United
States, bnt throughout the world.
1t should be a small matter for
us to see to it that our Alma
Mater has all the students she
can accommodate. | have not
met the first young man or wo-
man yet who has said that he
was sorry because he attended
Dana.
Fellow alumni, let us get busy
performing Il duty.

has always Deen proud
of her school system, and the
low percentage Of ~illiterates a.
mong the native born popula-
ton. Shall we lower our ideals
on account of the war; Shall
we content ourselves with con-
ditions which prevail in half
civilized eountries9
But you may say: 'sThat is all
the duty Of the state The state
is to teach the children to read
and write. The state provides
high schools and universities for
our young men and women. The
state provides normal schools
and medical colleges and en-
g%ineering colleges. That is all the
business of the state. The only
thing left for us to look after
is the training of our ministers.
Let me ask you another ques-
ton. What is the state2 Are you
and | not parts Of it And what
is the states duty, is that not
yours and minel Let us not
shirk our duty as members of
the state.
But in America the state has
never been the only institution,
(which is interested in the educa-
ton Of the young. The church
has always been equally as much
interested IN providing institu-
tons of learning as the state
has, and rightly so. In fact it
was the church which built the
first college in America, in 1896.
The state was more than a hun
bred years later. The first state
institution of higher learning
was not founded until 1871.
| said that it is but right that
the church is interested in
schools. The state can furnish
good colleges and universities.
BY that | mean good buildings,
well equipped laboratories, large
libraries, and efficient faculties.
The state can do all of that be-
cause it has the public resources
back of it. But that is as far as
the state can 90. And that is
not far enough for the church.
The church wants its young men
and women to have the best edu-
eaton they possibly can get. But
at the same time it wants a
guarantee that they are taught
nothing contrary to the Word
of God. And hat guarantee the
state does not give. Therefore,
ii is necessary for the church to
maintain her own institutions of
learning. And at this time ii is
her duty to bend every effort
toward doing that. 1t IS our du-
ty toward our country. 1t is our
duty toward our church. 1t is
our duty toward our young men
and women.
SO far | have spoken in
generah Permit me 10 narrow
MY subject and for a few min
utes discuss what ! consider the
duty Of US as alumni Of Dana
College and Trinity Seminary.
Before | do this, however !
wish TO go back in history and
try to show what has led up to
the present conditions regarding
the school activities Of the Dan
ish Lutheran churches in Ameri-
ca.
The first settlers, who came to
this country way back in the
sixteenth century, came here with
the intention and hope Of retain
ing their own language and ira
ditional customs. The Spaniard
would remain a spaniard and the
Frenchman a Frenchman. That
was but natural at the time.
They did not come to an or
gained, independent political
state. They came to a newly dis
covered continent.
Danskeren. [volume] (Neenah, Wis.) 1892-1920, 1918-07-17

from denmark 10 SERVE Wlelil.
And some Of the young men
who had come from Denmark
went to the seminaries of other
churches to prepare for the min
istry amoung their own people.
But they soon realized that if
the work should be Of a per-
manent nature, they should of
necessity have their own theo-
logical seminary.
SO far, 50 good. We thank God
until this day for our Danish
Lutheran church. She has gather
ed into the kingdom of God
many people whom no other
churches could have reached. We
thank God until this day for
our Seminary whore many faith
full workers in Gods vineyard
have received their training.
But the Danish immigrant did
not stop here. AT that time
there was n Denmark a new in
stitution which was forcing its,
way into prominence. That was
the Folk High School. 1t was
quite natural for the immigrant
TO think that>i if the Folk High
School has proved a blessing hack
home, it would also prove 50 in
this their new home and they
labored for the erection Of like IN
situations here. | think that the
first was built in Ashland, Mich,
in 1882. Since then several have
been built throughout the coun-
try, SO that at the present time
there are seven of them.
Those schools were built for
a purpose. And | think they have
accomplished their purpose. They
were built for the young man
and woman who had come to
America too late in life to at
tend the public school. These
young men and women went to
the Danish American schools.
Here they we're taught to read
and write the language Of the
country which they had chosen
for their future home. Here they
were taught the history of the
United States and the form Of
government under which they
were living. In short, it was the
aim of these schools, in the short
est possible time. to make intel
ligent American citizens of the
immigrants who lately had come
here, This purpose they fulfill
ed in spite of their limited means,
their deficient Libraries and ia
cnlties. The demands of the
times were not great.
But today we are facing diff
ferent conditions. The young
men and women who attend our
schools today are not immigrants
OF yesterday. They are the sons
and the daughters of the immi-
grant Of twenty, thirty, or for
y years ago. They come not to
learn to read and write and talk
the American language. They
come with their diplomas from
the public schools and high
schools. They come and ask us
to give them a little more than
they could get in these. They
do not, like the young men and
women OF twenty years ago, ask
where they ean g I.r tae least
amount Of money. But they ask
instead: Where do they have
the best schools Where do they
have the best equipped labora-
tories, the largest Libraries and
1.-The most efficient facultiesq"
The school which can offer the
best advantages in these lines
will get the students.
The question is often asked :
Why do our young people go
to other schools!" The answer
is simple: 1--WE do not offer
them the advantages the other
