The last link in the we'll nigh perfect

High above the present grade of the

None the less, despite Judge Gary s
amiable remarks, the fact remains that
the large and increasing colonies of
Japanese on the Pacific coast are a
source of grave embarrassment not to
be dissolved in the fervor of post
prandial eloquence. Eliminating the
element of mere blind prejudice from

SOME CHANCE

The chance for a thorough college education will soon be open to quali- fled soldiers of the United States Ar my. From the first grade to the final collegiate degree, the way is being paved by the War Department, with the cooperation of numerous educa- tional institutions, for a complete training in all academic and in many technical couSes.
 By the autumn of 1921 it will be possible for more than 100 qualified soldiers to lay aside their uniforms and enroll as students in as many col leges throughout the country.
 While this project is an entirely new departure for the military establish ment, it is the result of definitely conceived plan to make the Army an organization of the fullest educational opportunity and to offer soldiers the same chance for mental improvement which they might secure in cival life.
 The present educational and voca- tional program of the Army, which has been in operation for more than a year, includes elementary and sec ondary subjects and it is now possible for the soldier to obtain the eq,nva- lent of high school education. The arrangement which has been made by the War Department and various edu- cational institutions throughout the country will enable soldiers to con- tinue their education with a minimum of expense to themselves
 While the project is still in s-formu- lative stage, sufficient number of colleges have offered scholarships te insure full opportunity fSr every sol dier who desires these educational ad- vantases. From thirty-three institu- tions have come assurances that tui- tion and other assistance will be given students, fifty-two colleges have signi- fled their ability to grant tuition or a reduction in fees, while seventy-four institutions still have the matter under advisement and several others declare that they will make every effort to further the War Departments plan.
 The scholarship question was first brought to the attention of the coun- try's educators through letter ad dresed to the Presidents of the lead ing institutions by the Secretary of War, who said in part:
 "The War Department is at present engaged in putting into effect care fully considered plan intended to i'm prove the Army, make it more attrac- tive to young men and demonstrate that it is a vital and natural part of the social organization of the Nation. We are endeavoring to convince these young men that in serving in the Ar my they are not only performing a patriotic duty, but are acquiring a training in a useful trade, receiving the elements of an education and are having their characters developed. The War Department has arranged with the advice and assistance of some of the best educators in the country, school course for soldiers in the Ar my winch includes elementary sub jects, some secondary subjects and a system of vocational training, the equi yalent of that given in good civilian trade-school. This plan is in actual operations, ,y at the present time and about sixty percent of the soldiers ape avaihng themselves of these

"I believe that Army service may be made still more attractive by opening to our soldiers an opportunity for higher education and training and it has occurred to me that one of the possible avenues that might be so op- ened is one leading to and through our great universities and other institu- tions of learning, A certain number of soldiers are appointed to Cadetship at the United States Military Acade- my at West Point each year, but it is believed to be desirable to broaden the scope of the opportunities offered them so that those who wish may pur- sue other educational courses than that leading up to commission in the Army.
 ''in every regiment camp, post and sta. on of the United States Army, are so be found soldiers with ambition for such higher education and the ability to pursue it, but without the means to taat cnd. Would it not be possible for the universities of our country to each established one patriotic scholar ship for such deserving young men?
 "This scholarship to be open only to citizens. of your state who have served honorably through an enlistment who have received character of Excl le,lt'' on their discharge, and who have been especially selected and rec commended for the scholarship from among the enlisted personnel of the organizations of the United States Army. either serving in your state oi allocated to it. by the commanding of ficers of these organizations.
 Il feel that our Country at large has never fully appreciated it's obliga- tion to young men who have in peace time performed the necessary military service of the Nation. The suggested scholarship is only one of the means have in mind to in measure dischar- ge this obligation to those men compe- tent to profit by it. I will add further that the establishment of such patri- otic scholarships at our universities will, 1 am sure, cause spirit of emu lation in the service, will raise our own standard of education in the Army to meet the requirements, and will result in mutual good and mutual respect of great value to the Country at large.
 "I wish to make it clear that the beneficiaries of such scholarships shall be at liberty to take any course availi- ble at the institution, that they are to be entirely free from any further mill tary control or discipline in this choice, or in their lives at the insti- tution."
 i 1. That eligibles for scholarships be confined to men who are now in the service or who will be enlisted at fu- ture date. ,. That they will not be enrolled as students in any institutions until after their discharge from the service. ; 3. That all applicants for scholar ships shall be recommended before dis charge and that the length of enlist ment shall have no effect upon mans eligibility.
 4. That a standard system of test ing be formulated, which will be gen eral throughout the service and ac- ceptable to all institutions offering scholarships. This system to be devel- oped after consideration of the various standards required for institutions of fering the scholarships
