Gen. Pershing organized an army edu-
cational corps under the command OF
Brig Gen. Robert =. Rees. The per-
sonnet OF the corps was formed OF ON
GERS who prior TO their enlistment had
been instructors in American universi-
ties and colleges. Col. Ira L. Reeves,
formerly en- army officer. later a uni
verslty president, and then again an
ofticer In the citizen army, became
president Of the A. z. F. University at
seaune. The Y. NJ. C. A. called about
400 educators OF long experience to
France to assist and TO I'LL out the
stats OF the various schools.
The biggest school OF the a. f. +.
was at Beaune. in tho province OF
Cote dor. where a hospital centre was
made over into a university. Here
some $500 soldiers received instruc-
ton in practically every technical and
collegiate course offered by the institu-
lions at homs. Other soldiers were
sent TO French and British universities
for the spring term Of study, and in
seven towns OF France-Verneuil,

tunities that awaited them on the
farms Of the United States.
That the good done by the educa
tional work might not DO lesssned, and
to prevent tho interest OF the soldiers
from growing cold the army sent
squads OF instructors to the various
ports and embarkation centres. These
men were selected because OF their
vigorous and compelling personality. II
was their task to Undue soldiers about
to return to the United States with en-
thusiasm over the opportunities they
could enjoy as citizens, and to teacn
them the value of knowledge as a
fundamental OF good citizenship and
enjoyment OF lie. They promoted dis
cussions and carried on various sorts
Of educational work, striving TO help
the individual soldier prepare himself
for remittance into civilian life. And
on the transports coming homo morale
parties worked among the troops.
The higher command OF the army
feels that the establishing Of the edu-
cationai system and the carrying out
Of the work planned was one OF the
greatest things the a. y. F. did.
In gaining kno Wedge many of the
soldiers formed a true appreciation Of
the value OF education, and II is not
believed their studies will end when
they receive the red chevron that
means discharge from the service,
And the higher command also faels
that the army by its educational sys-

A. E. F. Excels in Educational Work as in Fighting

the company, battalion and regimental
schools which were started in most of
the large environments soon after the
first men were called TO arms under
the selective service act. In these
schools soldiers who had but q smat-
tering- or no knowledge at all of the
English language were taught 10 speak
and write the tongue OF their adopted
country. At Camp Upton. where unit
commanders cooperatsd with the
Young Mems Christian Association, the
Jewish Welfare Board and tine knights
Of Columbus in this work, the results
were particularly noticeable,
Some OF the battalion and regimental
classes there had moro than 100 pupils
OF all nationAlitles, and the work of
these schools was of great value In
bringing home to them the meaning
and responsibilities OF American clti-
zenship and In making plain to them
Americas reason for entering the war.
There are innumerabls instances whsre

work men who did not understand
