CAMP GRANT. III. Dec. 1.-THE
army of today is vastly different
than the old army of days gone by.
A change from the old order of
things was brought about by the
world war That war made the
army part OF the people more than
ever before In the history of the ma
ton. IT is the earnest desire of the
war department and the army it
self 20 preserve and maintain this
relationship in the future.
Another lesson of the world war
was the fact that industry had a
large part I'm the training, trans
porting and equipment of military
bodies and that a certain proportion
OF men actually engaged i'm the cons
blatant arms of the service should be
trained along industrial lines. Dur
ing the war. large schools We're
opened and developed 20 a great de-
gree of proficiency along Industrial
lines efecting the army itself Out
OF this work grew the idea of the
army schools OF today.
The schools of the Sixth division.
at Camp Grant H.. situated as they
are. only go miles from Chicago. and
In the very center of a large manu-
featuring and agricu tural district
are a good example OF what is now
being accomplished i'm this line. In
arranging his school schedule, Gen.
George Bell Jr., IN command at the
Illinois camp. had several very def
mite objects IN view. among chem the
following: To develop the soldier TO
think for himself 20 broaden his
viewpoint i'm life. to increase his use
fulness as a member OF the military
establishment OF the country 10 in
crease his earning capacity and 10
make him better citizen from a
military and economic standpoint.
In short 10 develop the man mental
" and physically. BY so doing in
dusrry and the country at large. as
well as the man. will be benefited.
by increased production and the
training OF the individual I'm his
chosen vocation.
Glass Work Necessary.
AS in all educational work. a Ger
tain amount OF class room work is
necessary. but at Camp Grant this
IS subordiuated 20 the actual prac-
tice OF thc study taught. under
working industrial conditions such
as the men viii encounter in prac-
tical work, when he returns to civil
lie.
With this object I'm view. and re-
aliZing that teaching is a profession.
requiring special training. practice
and experience. IN order that the
maximum benefit may Doe derived by
the employment of such teachers.
this school mas secured the very
best professional men obtainable for
its faculty. This is particularly true
