2. Cooperation with the Gov
ernment and other existing agnc-
les to find employment for ex-
service men.
3. Assistance to ex-service men
in matters of War Risk Insurance,
Liberty bonds, allowances, COM
pensation and service pay.
A. Publication of weekly maza-
zine, "The American Legion Week
ly."
In a recent issue of the Saturday
Evening Post was the following
comment of the association of
soldiers:
Americans who took arms to
make the world safe for democracy
will, of course, form an associa-
tion. Given large number of men
with that great common expert
ence such an association is fairly
inevitable in sociable America. It
is fitting and admirable.
"We hear considerable discus
sion as to what sort of association
it will turn out to be in actual
practice, with what aims and what
effect upon national life-and
whether it will be purely sociable,
or take on some political complex
ion and be an object of lively po-
litical intrigue, or perhaps devote
it's attention mainly to self
interests.
What called these men together
was a unique service to the coun-
try and a unique sacrifice for the
cause Of democracy throughout the
world. We should say that motive
might well be the guiding prin-
ciple of the association. Democ-
racy nowhere is made safe simply
by fighting for it with arms in a
great crisis. It's safety is a matter
of daily living and thinking and
acting. There are plenty of
enemies that wear no Prussian
helmets.
That democracy shall be kept
safe and effective; that the will
of the majority as constitutionally
expressed in duty enacted laws
shall be respected and obeyed in
all cases-might very well be a
prime object of the soldiers asso-
ciation. They might stand as for
midably as in France against Sc
ditions, Bolshevism, mobs. They
fought for the ballot box They
might we'll say, first of al. The
ballot box shall rule"

beginning and again at the end Of
the session, and the results tabulat-
ed. These names sound formidable
to outsiders, but the tests are
probably much less terrifying than
the old written examinations in
arithmetic or grammar; indeed, it
is likely that under the deft treat
ment Of teachers like Miss Snyder,
the young specimens will not know
when they are being tested.
The methods class will be exer-
cised in working out what are call
ed "projects, that is, in plans
for relating the subjects taught in
the ordinary prescribed courses to
the school community life. Thus
Miss Snyder will instruct them in
working out projects" even in
arithmetic, with the result that
every child who is interested in
school life, as every child is en-
Enthusiastically, must become in
terested in that "remote and arid
discipline as we used to regard it..
In Demonstration Glass they will
then have chance to try out their
projects and discover if they
will really work.
The classes in methods will be
held, for lack Of proper facilities
at the Grammar School, in Recita-
ton Hall, Delaware College, and
the classes, or groups will make ex-
cursions to the Grammar School
building at various times during
the morning.

American Legion Hopes To
Enroll Million Members

Probably the most effective or
ganization formed in recent years
will be that of "The American
Legion" composed of American
veterans of the world war.
The Legion originated in two
meetings of soldier, sailor and
marine delegates at Paris and St.
Louis on March 18th and May 8,
8, and 10, respectively. The COM
mittees appointed at these meet
ings have formed a national ex-
ecutive committee with head
quarters in New York. They are
perfectly the matter of organiza-
tion and expect to enroll at least
a million ex-service men before the
National Convention meets at Min
neapolis on November 10, II, and
II to effect permanent organiza-
ton. Their objects are:
/. To uphold and defend the
Constitution of the United States.
2. To foster and perpetuate 100
per cent Americanism.
3. To safeguard and transmit
to posterity the principles Of JUS
tice, Freedom and Democracy.
4. To consecrate and sanctify
our comradeship by our devotion
to mutual helpfulness.
The immediate program in
cludes:
/. Organization of State branch
es and local posts.

SERVICE CROSS
FOR DARING DEED
Private Fred Otte, Co. A, 111th
Regt., 28th Division, Honored
at Carlisle Hospital

Carlisle, Pa, May 16.-One of the
most remarkable deeds of daring
performed with the American forces
was recognized here when the Dis
tinguished Service Cross was con-
ferred upon Private Fred Otte, Com
pany A, 111th Infantry, 2Sth Divi-
sion. now at the United States Army
Hospital here. 1t was for extraordt-
nary bravery and heroism IN action
on the Vesle front last autumn. All
of the troops at the hospital, over
seas men and medical corps units
participated in the ceremony. Two
wounded overseas officers served as
a guard of honor for Otte. The pre-
sentation was made by Col. Frank
r. Keefer, the commandant.
Otte was a runner attached to d1-
vision headquarters and was en-
ployed in carrying messages across
the Vesle river to the troops oper-
ating there and then back to head
quarters. He was under heavy shell
fire. A stray shot sank the small
boat which he had been using. Moth
ing daunted Otte twice swan the
river with messages, although the
water was filled with barbed wire
and distractions to prevent pontoon
erection. After completing his last
trip he was wounded by a bullet
from a machine gun, so severely that
he was invalided home at once.
