In addition to this the war department has formed plan of offering educational opportunities of immense value to young men who enlist.
 At the present time man may enlist in branch of service that will insure his education along almost any line of work he desires to take up. The con- struction division offers theoretical and practical training and work in the fol- lowing trades and professions: Electri- clan, plumber, steam filter, machinist. blacksmith, painter, draughtsman, boilermaker, mechanical engineer, fire man, carpenter, turner and wood worker, as we'll as many other useful lines of work
 The coast artillery schools offer courses in surveying and map making, dr-ught- ing, printing, electricity in all it's branches, radio and telephone, motor re- pairs and operation, and foundation courses in common school subjects for the man whose education has been neg lected so far.
 "The air service and motor transport corps give thorough courses in all kinds of motor work that is not covered in those excellent army schools. This is a wonderful opportunity for the young men who wish to learn trades and, as you know, Uncle Sam always does things we'll
