AMERICAN SOLDIERS
EAGER TO LEARN

Paris, June 3.-Scores Of thousands
of American soldiers eagerly have
grasped the opportunity to attend the
schools which the army now Is pro-
viding for all the men Of the Ameri-
can Expeditionary Force, under the
direction of the Educational Corps.
The post schools which are primary
grades of this school system are used
wherever they can find roof to shell
ter them. Floundering through the
mud of some little hamlet where Am
erican soldiers are stationed, one is
likely to stumble upon a school In
full operation. An army chaplain re-
Gently chanced upon such school

benches because the floor was under

bottles. The sergeant-teacher was
using a piece of tarred paper as a
blackboard. 1t was II O'Clock at
night and fourteen men whose mill

! iris little scene Is symbolic It the
spirit with which the American sol
dier have taken advantage of the ed
ucational training offered them by the
army school system,
Men in some cases are working
eight, ten, and twelve hours day al
military duties and then studying at
night in the post schools, tired in
body but doggedly determined. In
some cases they have voluntarily
worked at night so as to be allowed
to attend a lecture or school session
in the daytime. Illiterate men who
have been taught to read and write
often ask permission to take their
dog-earred primers home with them
when their divisions start for Amer
ica Thousands of such men have
ieen started on the road to eddca
ton in the past few months, But

that all the soldier boys are coming
back with a higher education" The
big idea of the Educational Corps is

a soldier has been a round peg In a
square hole back home. The army
is helping these men to get started
on the right groove.
Practically is the key word OF all
the educational courses. The soldier
is not going to school merely for
the FUN of It." He wants results
that will help him with his Job back
home and he is getting them. Vo-
cational training is an important and
successful feature of the post school
and there are few trades that are
not taught in some of them. In the
academic course, history, English and
mathematics hold the major places.

THIS HONEY APPARENTLY
WAS POISONOUS

(From the Graceville Advertiser, R.
G. Harris, Editor.)
Considerable excitement was caused
Sunday morning about 10 o'clock
when the editor CT the Advertiser fell
unconscious on the pavement in front

to him and he was carried into the
store and first aid treatment was Civ

later DR.. Miller passed and was
called in. Seeing the mans condi-
ton was very seri us he was carried
home and prompt action taken to re-
vive and relieve him before 1t was
too late. Prompt and efficient work
removed the serious danger, but left
him very weak, The cause OF the
trouble was attributed to the fact that
he was extremely bilious, and that
morning had eaten quantity OF
honey and when he fell 1t was
thought he was beyong human aid
however, we are glad to say that was
an error.
Tuesday morning Robert Harris,

job, apparently all right, when he be-
came suddenly dizzy and sat down.

could be done for him. he toppled

Rev. Johns family were affected.
The honey in question was bought
by Rev Johns over beyond Mona,
for family consumption, but having
more than needed, the minister de-
cided to dispose of a portion of it.

calculated that the per capita con.
