TRADES BEING TAUGHT.

Service schools are either now or
TO be established at everv military sta
ton where young men not only can
acquire a good education, but can
learn almost any known trade ard be
well paid while learning.
The Air Service alone promises
instruction in almost every known va
riety of machines, and the Motor
Transport Corps, the Tank Corps and
the Coast Artillery Corps are fur?
nishing instruction on similar lines
and already have hundreds of men
in training who not only are making
good in the service, but will be dis
charged with technical education
which is good for a lifetime
What the schools OF the line are
to be has not yet been determined,
but it is the evident intention of the
War Department to make education
"a prominent feature Of the service
and every man who desires can profit
thereby.
"Since the government furnishes
the soldier with everything he needs
and pays HIM in full, whether sick or
well, ON duty or on furlough, it would
appear that there ought TO be plen-
ty Of young men, not only willing,
but glad to enlist now instead of
waiting for something which may not
show so many advantageous features"
