Clemmie c. Parks, first lieutenant,
Company c, 372nd R. l. U. s., gives
some interesting sidelights on life in
the trenches. He says:

four months and like the country very
well. OF course, l am connected
with a very dangerous job, but hand

pep.

the end of seven months 1t will be in

a very important job.

Moscow, November 49,
Dear Mr.. Editor: The days and
months succeeding a war are days of
peril-even of greater peril than that of
war In beating the enemy we were
united-it was the first condition of
victory. Nation with nation, class with
class, political group with political group,
and man with man. But the victory
comes, the enemy is down and at once
we begin to apportion credits For
heavens sake, let us stop right now
We're not equal to the job. People are
sensitive and toucly after fight; they
need a great deal of kind handling.
There are always chances of making
friction. The safest way to avoid 1t IS
to acknowledge how much the other fell
low did-and to say less about the first
person, singular or plural.
at is time, for instance, that America
saved the day. The Allies will not let
America forget that they will blow her
trumpet, all right. But it hurts the
English and the French and Italians to
have it ranlmed down their Threats be-
fore their wounds are healed. They
merely ask that while they themselves,
with their hats off, shout praises OF
U. S. A. that she will sometimes remem-

HEAD OF UNIVERSITY
ON EDUCATIONAL WORK
STATEMENT CONCERNING
S. A. T. c.. STATUS

The question of perhaps greatest
Importance just now with the S. A.
T. C. and the vocational men is the
possible effect of the forthcoming
peace upon students here in military
work
In an interview with an Argonaut
representative, President Lindley
says:
From the first l have believed
the plan of vocational training for
soldiers was designed by the govern
ment to meet the needs of the period
of reconstruction as we'll as the de-
mands of the war. This country has
had an insufficient number of men
trained in these crafts. The increas-
ing role of machinery in modern life
places an increasing premium on such
knowledge and skill. What better
knowledge could there be for a farm
er than course in general mech
anics?
GAS to the Collegiate Section, there
is much evidence that the United
States plans to provide for the educa-
ton of young soldiers whose school
work has been interrupted by the
war. It is rumored that the S. A. T.
c.. is to be established in the Amer
lean Army in France during the per-
iod of further service there and will
continue until rehabilitation.
cit will be remembered that Sen
ator Reed proposed an amendment to
the Manpower Bill providing for two
years training for all returning sol
diers who desire it. Judging from the
telegram above quoted, the govern
ment realizes a similaN obligation
to the members of the S. A. 7. G.
who are now in college. These stu
dents entered upon course of colleg-
late training for government service.
1t is hoped and believed that they will
be permitted to remain in school long
enough to derive real benefit from
the experience.
Courses of study may be modified
to fit the new conditions, but the edu-
cational program, I trust, will be
carried forward. The man who ex-
poets to compete successfully in the
new era now dawning will find need
for all the training possible. In 9TH
er words, the man who expects to
succeed without scientific training
will find himself on the scrap heap.
"This program will not appeal to
the men who have no ambition, but
those who desire to win promotion
and success in the world will appre-
ciate this as golden opportunity to
get ready without expense to them
selves for the strenuous days just
ahead"

Home Is Where the Boy Is In
This War
By BRUCE BARTON

visited a home where service flag hangs;
and while we ate talked of the boy who is
over there.
IL wonder if he is cold tonight the mother
said, II wonder if he has place warm him
self and dry his clothes; and something good to
eat"
'What wouldn't give to be with him. she
said and we silent, knowing her heart.
But | thought of the Soldiers of Friendliness
who that very night would crawl out across No
Mans Land to take chocolate and hot coffee
that boy.
OF the huts with their warm fires burning; of
the great lecturers and preachers and actors and
motion pictures that are there.
And thought to myself; There is diff
ference between this and every other For
when the boys have marched away before, the
influence of their homes has stopped at the front
gate and could go farther.
But in this war it follows the flag, the
ocean, over the shell torn battle land straight
up to the front line trenches.
Home is where the boy is in this war. From
every town and village the lines of helpfulness
run out.
And no boy leaves his home behind hint
step by step it travels with him, financed by the
folks behind him-a token of their love.
