dents in preparation for the Wahpe-
on-Normal game that night.
Then Mr.. George B. Lands, OF
Ohio, one of the Y M. c. A. conven-
rion speakers favored the students
| with short talk on education.
! Because large percentage OF the
! people in our land leave school at an
early age, the Y. NJ. C. A. is interest
ed in supplementing the work OF the
schools. This organization is main
tanning day and night classes to pro-
vide elementary training in vocation
al work.
In the training camps this organi-
cation rendered a great service by
teaching English to non-English
speaking boys and by giving an ele-
uentary education to the llllterate
Conversational French was taught to
those who wished it and after the ar
mistice was signed, classes in various
subjects were provided so that the SOL
diers could continue their college ed
ucation. Some were given the privilege
Of attending universities in France and
in England.
The organization was so perfected
that our government took it over, pay
ing eight million dollars for the ma
terials already provided. The Y. M.
c. A. is turning this money back to
the states as scholarship fund so
that the boys who are not adjusted to
normal conditions can apply for aid to
enable them to finish their education
al courses.
This is day when trained young
men and women are more likely to sue
coed. Mr.. Lands congratulated the
students on their splendid opportun-
ity for training.
