TO TEACH ITALIANS YANKEE
 SANITARY CODE

Rome, Juno 13-CCorrespondenc Fof The Associated Press)-Interna- tional exchange in the form of the newest and most practical ideas in social hygiene and education as a
 means of arriving at the greatest good for both Italy and America Is the ob- 1ect of a plan projected by Dr. VII liam O. White, of Pittsburgh, head of the American Red Cross commission on tuberculosis for Italy. Dr. White Believes that wna. America could give to Italy in the way of constructive social welfares- suggestions would be offset by 1taIS's successful adventures in the realm of industrial training
 There, is no doubt that Italy could furnish enough ideas for America as- sfmflation to more than provide for the balance of trade in this ex- change" said Dr. White to The As sociated Press correspondent. we have found that Italy has made i'm mense progress in education and can truly teach us many lessons. On the other hand she G4n learn from us methods of social hygiene, sanitation and social welfare which at present she has hardly developed.
 'Thcre could be established be- tween the two countries a real ex- change of these factors which mean so much in the happiness of the lives of the Industrial srowsrs. Before the war. America received over 5O0,OO0 Italians a year. If these had come to America with American standards of houafng, sanitation and all the dn- numerable things which American ~orSnaen enjoy, America would have been spared the money and cost of having to educatesthe Italians in these ideas in America.
 Tho whole thing Is a reasonable business proposition. If we expect 10 draw a vast labor supply from Italy, then 1t Is to our interest to see that we handle our human exchange in a human and economic way. We would save money by organizing In Italy, methods for vocial ills. The Italians would do 1t themselves and need only to be shown the way. Be sides the missionary side of it, the sacrifice side of 1t, there is truly a business side and it is truly American business. America is in the poten- tial position to carry on. this work in Italy and to get in return It's vast trade and its own experiences in sue cessful industrial training schools"

MAY MAKE ARMY
 SCHOOL CENTER

Beaune, France, June 12-(Corre-- spondence of the Associated Press)- Belief that the American Expedition ary Force University here has shown that 1t is feasible to make the United States army a great school for Amer ica, is expressed by Dr. John Erskine, professor of English in Columbia | University. Dr. Erskine is one of the three members of the recently creat- ed Educational Corps of the Ameri- can Expeditionary Force.
 The great university is nearing fits close for the troops soon must be re- turned to America but pr. Erskine regards 1t as a laboratory which has demonstrated the possibility of uni versal training in America with the United States army as the medium.
 "The A. D. F. University seems to me significant experiment from the point of view of education in the United States" said Dr. Erskine.
 '1 have been fascinated with the Idea that we might introduce into our national life a system of universal training not yet attempted--.a system which should be compulsory for all men whether or not they are physic- ally fit to be soldiers, which should serve as an annual in'entory of our national resources physically mem tally and morally. The university might serve as model for the train ing camps which would he found in such a system; a student would be under military discipline and would enjoy all advantages of the well ad- ministered military camp, but he would pursue whatever subjects his tastes and his situation in life might cause him to desire, from brick laying to university study
 Tt has interested me exceedingly to observe, as I have advanced the idea that our army should be trans formed into an instrument for educa- ton, that the idea has met with in- telligent response from the exper- fenced officers of the regular army.
 The university has come to mean for many of us here the hope that our most chivalrous soldiers, our best trained scientists our citizens with the largest imagination may agree on a program of universal training which will quickly drive out illiteracy and all disease that is avoidable, and will fit men and women to take a worthy part in the peace time business of our country.
 eff we should so organize the United States, we should be prepared against attack in time of war, and we should also be prepared, as far as is humanly possible, against preju- dices and ignorances which tend to drive nations into war;
