SUMMER SCHOOL.
CAMP OF EX-SERvICE MEN IN
ELLSWORTH THIS SUMMER.
School for Vocational Education In
der Management of Boston
University.

A summer school for vocational
education of ex-seryiee men will be
held in Ellsworth this summer, under
the management of the College of
Business Administration of Boston
university. Negotiations to this end,
which have been going forward quiet
ly for some weeks, came to a success
full conclusion Saturday, when the
Federal Board for Vocational Educa-
tion gave its approval The school
will open probably on July 6, and
continue for eight weeks.
Arrangements have already been
made with the city government and
school board by which the high
school building will be used for class
work. The men will live in tents
supplied by the army, and the camp
will be located in some convenient
field. 1t is hoped that Blacks field
may be obtained--a most desirable
site for a camp.
Meals will be supplied by Sergt. c.
A. Gadbois, an army camp manager
of long experience. The school will
bring about 120 people to Ellsworth.
including six members of the Boston
university faculty with their families.
A few of the students and the men,
bers of the faculty will seek lodging
in Ellsworth homes, and the Ellis
worth board of trade. through a COM
mittee, will cooperate with the uni
versity management in securing de-
sirable locations.
The men who are coming to Ellis
worth are all former soldiers, nearly
all of whom have been wounded in
the service. There will be many
members of theYankee division in
the group, and three of the men who
are expected to come have been dec
GRATED for bravery in action.
The purpose of bringing the school
to Ellsworth is to escape the hot
weather of the city, and it is the be-
lief of Dean Lord of the university
that the men will learn twice as
much in the cool camp as they would
in the summer school which will be
carried on at the university at the
same time.
The bringing of this school to Ellis
worth is largely through the efforts
of Dean Everett W. Lord and Prof.
Charles E. Bellatty, both former
Ellsworth men. Congressman John
A. Peters has given valuable as
sistance at the Washington end.
especially in arranging for camp
equipment, and a further boost was
given by the fact that James P. Mum
roe, vice-chairman of the Federal
Board of Vocational Training. which
had the final say in the matter,
knows Ellsworth, and considered 1t
an ideal place for a summer school.
The courses offered at the school
here will be parallel to those given
in Boston, but some additional
courses may be offered because of
special demands.
The instructors will be members
of the regular faculty of the uni
versity, who have been giving in
struction to these students and
others during the past year. The
school will be under the immediate
supervision of Prof. Bellatty, who
has been for the past year acting as
counselor for the Federal Board men.
