That performance clinched his
job, and he soon became a favorite
with the Sox fans. He pitched eight

Education for the Army's Rank and File.

years operation Of the educational and voca-
tional training enterprise OF the army has brought
into being plant" Of large size and fine equip
ment, and has enlisted a teaching staff Of men Of
promising efficiency, many of whom have held i'm
portant academic positions in the past. Already
thousands OF youth and OF youngish men, some Of
whom never had facilities or resources enabling
them to study, getting the equivalent Of
high school course. At the time they are
being trained in the requisite discipline OF a mill
tary regime and the pay they receive while thus
engaged is high enough to enable them to save for
the future if they will to.
Nothing like this scheme in scope and detail,
has ever been planned or provided for an army;
and it is attracting attention not only among edu-
Gators OF civilian type but among makers OF
armies abroad. The plan is the child OF necessities
that during the late war; and it remains ono
OF the best byproducts OF that costly but ncvta
bic struggle
Now it is announced that ambitious men in the
ranks, who pass the requisite examinations and get
the endorsement OF commanders who know their
personal records and al-round fitness, can look
forward to getting a college university educa-
ton. The War Department, aided by forty insti-
tutions that already have agreed to abatc tuition
fees provide scholarships or both, is working out
the plan. Later other colleges and universities will
enlist. OF applicants there will be no lack All
backing the scheme should it be attacked in or out
of Congress.
Differ as men may about war and armies per Sc
they can unite in agreeing that the better educated

defense is the better the army will function if war
1t not only the courage and the ini-
tiatve but also the intelligence Of the A. E. F that
deeply impressed foreign military experts.
Moreover this finely worked out plan Of sec
ondary and higher education has the merit of fit
ting men who leave the army for civilian life to
become better producers and higher grade wage
earners when they emerge from the barracks and
schools. 1t is not true it was to say
Always a soldier if a soldier" Men today
do not walk so readily into blind alleys This plan
opens up all sorts Of vistas for men who serve
their time and depart. 1t also ehriches the outlook
OF those men in the ranks who choose it because
they intend to make it life career Moreover it
will bring officer and private closer together in do
ing common task, and will help to democratze
force that tends to become autocratic and caste
ridden
