Dr. Hodgdon for particulars concern
ing admittance to the school. and in
nearly every case he makes things SO
pleasant for them that they start IN
Immediately. despite the fact that
most OF them are entirely without
funds and have TO ask for loans. And
the director Immediately gives them
enough TO keep themselves from want
until he can get their application for
entrance in the school passed on end
a Government check for the first
months allowance. SO all a disabled
service man has to do Is TO 20 to
Newark and make application at the
school. and, no matter what may be
his condition or station in life, place
will be found for him and he will be
put to learn some work and given
some studies fitting to his condition.
Just as soon as the boys get sc-
quainted with the conditions OF the
college their ambitions helghten, their
iscouragements end, they see new
things in new ways, they realize they
can be born again and. after seeing
all tho different trades they can
choose from TO learn. they eagerly
dive right in. forget their wounds and
miseries and start life anew,
A bright chap OF an Indian boy ap-
piled a week ago and, after looking
things over, he decided TO take q
four years course in electrical en-
gineering. His name is Theodore A,
Bell. twenty -four years old, gradu-
ate OF a California high school and
about TO start a post graduate course
at the time when war was declared
lie dropped everything and enlisted
at Tacoma, Wash. and while in
France he was shot through the Gb-
domen and a part OF his right foot
shot OF.
Then there Is the man with both
legs shot of doing mighty well with
two artificial legs, learning mechan'
ical drawing and proving a winner
at II too. And he has for his sid,
companion a fellow who Is minus hi
left arm from his shoulder and VIII,
is getting TO be a skliful sign palnte
and show card printer. using only hi
right hand. Nearly every man in tn
mechanical drawing department is

full four years course. Well trained
instructors and the best mechanical
contrlvances are in each department
Of the school vocational work.
Thomas Clark. twenty three years
old OF Orange, N. j., 80 per cent. dis
abled. is declared 100 per cent. dis
abled by the Government physician,
he said, and he continued: THAT will
not stop me from getting down deep
in my work and learning to be a
machinist."
Tommy Is the huskiest looking boy
in the school. likes hard work and
loves machinery and intends to learn
to drive an automobile and to know
all about the mechanical end OF II,
despite the fact that a severe blow
uLder his heart while in the war is
sufficient cause for him TO be totally
disabled. He Is at the wheel OF DR..
Hodgdon's car in the picture.
The school faculty finds its great
est JOB with these army men is to
restore the shell-shocked victims to
normal mental condition. Some Of
these fellowS are so mentally over
balanced that they can scarcely
realize they are alive, and to get
them interested in something and to
keep their attention requires sEllful
management and clever intuition.
Remarkable advances are being made
with such students In the school.
Singing Is one OF the delights OF
the morning chapel exercises. Amer
lea" and "The Star Spangled Banner
are the favorltes, but tho boys are
not backward in showing how they
can sing war songs. They appear TO
be a happy gathering. In the school
are men representing seventeen diff
ferent nations who fought under the
flag OF the United States. and their
varied war experiences, hardshlps
and sufterings endured and narrow
escapes from death. as told by them.
The evening world., 1919-08-07

are as narrowing and horrible as
war could make.
Learning to be electrical engineers
Is engaging many OF the men. who
seem TO thrive on the knowledge they
get and their ability to retain 1t.
Testing motors Is popular among
them; taking them apart to learn
their construction Is fascinating. they
say. and to touch a live wire, as is
often done. puts a lively zigzag move
on a fellow that causes him to be
more careful when in proximity to
such live things again.
All work. studies and activities
are based on practical results; a
man advanced far enough in the
mechanical or architectural drawing
Is given real work that goes out
when finished, and In the electrical
department electrical contrivances,
novelties and light machinery are
made by men who are able to do IT,
Some OF these men capnot talk
English very well. but can be under

low workers, and for these a special
class in English has been called in
daily session that they may become
real Americans in speech as we'll as
in actions and patriotism. The boys
from foreign lands have been Amer
icanized into citizenship and believe
they will do big things for this coun-
try, along industrial Anes. after they
become. proficient through the gov
ernment schooling they are getting.
The large college Is well adapted for
caring for these boys and can easily
accommodate 1000 men in ali the
numerous clerical. mechanical. indus
trial and other departments, artists
section and general education courses
There is a comfortable eating room
where the fellows have their noon
lunches brought to them, where they
lounge. smoke and pass leisure time.

Field Marshals Haig and French. Ad-
mirals Beatty and Jellicoe and Gen

tory Is not without instances wherein
the United States has almost Ignored

In all the array of English heroes
perhaps none has been the recipient
Of such bohntlful hbnors as John
Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough.
He rose through many positions 10
become Lord Marlborough on Dec. a.
1902. with a grant OF $4,000 year
during the life OF Queen Anne. The
greatest tribute came to him after MS
victory at Blenheim the following
year. when Parliament voted him the
manor Of Woodstock in the grounds OF
, which a palace was built at the
Queens order at a cost of $1,000
He was created a Prince OF the em-
pire and the principallty OF Mindel-
helm was formed in his honor.
In contrast with the treatment OF
this warrior stands the attitude OF
our own Congress. which has been
content in recognizing merit by a
vote OF thanks, the presentation OF
a sword or the elevation OF a soldier
or sailor to higher rank. To Wash
ington, for instance, was given a
sword, but more substantial reward
probably would have been refused
by the first President. who would
not accept any salary for his SER
Vices as Commander in Chief of the

by his native State Of Virginia was
given by Washington to educational
