ments and the organization of war to
help meet the needs of peace.
This is story of only one phase of
the educational programme, but it
might be just as we'll to outline the
whole structure.
BY general army orders every group
OF 500 men has post school," di-
rected by an army officer appointed for
that purpose, and these schools are
taught by qualified officers and enlisted
men. Approximately 10000 men are
now attending these schools, which are
supervised by field representatives of
the Army Educational Commission.
Attendance is compulsory for illiter-
ates and voluntary for others. Hence,
the courses range from the "three
RS up to work Of high school and col
lege grade. These schools are in the
camps or in villages where troops are
billeted. Village cafes, halls, store
rooms; the end of barracks building
any available place that affords
shelter from the cold winds of North
ern France and Germany is likely to
be school room these days. Tar paper
makes fair blackboard Candles give
fair light. There may be but one text
to forty men. Nevertheless, the post
schools are booming. The unexpected
coming of the armistice has deprived
the army of the months of preparation
required to provide adequate facilities
for such a vast programme, but the
eagerness of the men for education,
coupled with the energy of the army
officers and of the commission, is put
ting the programme across in spite Of
difficulties.

reveals the frankness with which it
repudlates the limitations of most
newspapers. Only "La Prensa" in
Buenos Aires surpasses "The Moni-

doubts whether "La Prensa" could
have awakened so much interest and
curiosity as sprang to life over the
idea that an American newspaper

smoke, war-wracked furniture and
clutter which are familiar parapher-

Order and the power Of suggestion
seem to be sufficient to prevent
people throwing things on the floor
IN "The Monitor" Offices. There is
about them an air of calm and
quiet, Of we'll ordered activity, but
none Of the excitement and hustle
Of other papers. Perhaps it is the
influence of the Mother Church,
standing on the opposite corner;
perhaps because the building of the
Publication Society, which houses
the other Christian Science publ
cations as we'll as "The MONITOR"
was from the first something of a
show building; perhaps it was mere
ly triumph of intention; but the
tact remains that one would no
more think Of disturbing the quiet
of the lu3uriously carpeted "Moni-

On November 25, 1908, the first

~ HE American Expeditionary
Force has two great stories.
The first, and the greatest, of
how it fought. That story has
been told already by every one who
could tell it, who was privileged to
come ever and see it. The second story
is now in the telling. For, while the
army in France and Germany is wait
ing to go home, a large part of it is
Going 10 school.
1t is young men who are over here,
for it was young men who came to
fight. Men still in schools and col
leges; men just starting att the work
of making living, working in trades,
beginning their professions, studying
or wishing to study. The nation called
for them to trounce the Boche. Now
that that job is done, the army is max
ing it possible for these young men to
get ready for civilian Efe-to 60 home
better citizens, better educated, better
trained for the vocations of their
choice.
Preparations for extending educa-
tonal opportunities to the men of the
A. E. F. began while the war was still
in progress. The American University
Union appointed q committee, headed
by Arson Phelps Stokes, secretary of
Yale University, to report on what op-
portunities might be offered to the
A. E. F. during the rehabilitation pc
riod. The report, rendered and &C
cepted some months before the armis-
tice, recommended the creation of the
Army Educational Commission to help
the army organize an educational sys-
tenn for the A. E. F. men-a system in
cluding opportunities suited to the
needs of the men, whether they be il
literates or Phi. DIS.
The commission was brought to
France by the Y. M. C. A. 1t COM
