NIGHT ITS SCHOOLS! FOR
Ex-soLDIERs IN \ IOWA
Knights of Columbus Will
Establish Free
Schools.

| Several more free night schools for
former service men will be established
! in Iowa as the result of the first vOca-
tiOnal education convention of the
knights of Columbus this week in
Chicago. This state was represented
lby Joe Mccormick Of Cedar Rapids,
state secretary of the X. of c., and
Prof. George Edward Marshall, prin-
cipal of schools in Davenport. Mr..
Marshall is also principal Of the X. c..
might schools for eX-Service men which
has been operating successfully for
several months in Davenport.
In all probability night scohols will
he opened this fall in Sioux City, Des
Moines, Cedar Rapids and other Iowa
cities where a registration of 800 or
mere eX-servicc men can be obtained.
| No fee is charged and no questions
asked as to creed or nationality. Any
person having properly executed dis
charge papers may enter for practically
any sort of instruction. \ special eff
| fort will be made to train pupils in
agricultural pursuits in the hope of re-
licving the shortage Of farm help, thus
increasing production in fOodstuffS.
Instructors in the X. Of G. schools
are receiving higher pay than those in
the public schools Only the most pro
licient in their line are eligible as the
knights want the eX-servicc men to OBJ
tain the best possible service.
No further campaigns for money to
continue the work will be promulgated
as the Knights of Columbus war activi-
ties committee has enough left to con-
time the work another year. The money
is being expended under the approval
of the war, department and careful
check is kept of every expenditure.
