enrolled over S6,0CN enlisted men as

Manuals of instruction especially
adapted to the teaching of soldiers
have been prepared. Model courses
have been constructed
These courses vary from agricultural
and practical farming through all the
mechanical arts to the purely formal
and academic subjects. In all of them
however, certain basal requirements
are insisted upon with view to giving
every soldier such a course in Ameri-
can institutions and history as will de-
velop in him a knowledge of and more
affection for the country which he
serves, and striking examples daily
come to life of men gaining their first
real knowledge of the meaning of &C.
mocracy in its organized political
forms from the studies which they pur-
sue In these camp schools.
The congress very wisely abolished
the old restrictions against the accept
ance Of illiterates, and the army has
welcomed men Of this type otherwise
qualified; they have been grouped to-
gether in training centers, taught Eng
fish in its elementary branches. and
quickly given useful knowledge OF
the common tongue Of the country.
These groups comprise men of foreign
extraction whose illiteracy Is only OF
the English language; they also com.
prise native-born Americans who, by
reason of their remoteness from edu-

ate elements.
For many years the United States
army had been thing apart from
the normal life and interest of the
country as whole. 1t had been toll
Grated as necessary and expensive
luxury, rather than considered as a
valuable and potent influence in civic,
economic, and educational develop
ment. Its standards and ideals had
been misunderstood and its possibili.
ties for Americanization had been I'M
appreciated. For this state of affairs
the army itself was largely RESPONSE
Bile. 1t had been absorbed in its own
problems and responsibilities and had
not realized the exceptional possibili-
ties for Its active and cooperative
participation In the solution Of the
many vital problems in the construc-
tive development and expansion of the
nation.
The war plans division, as It existed
on June 80 1920, was divided into the
following different branches: War
plans, training and instruction, edu-
cation and recreation, reserve officers
training corps, morale. legislation. reg.
ulations and rules, historical, and serv-
Ice and information.
One of the most important activities
of this division was the recreation and
education branch. The World war
strikingly drew attention to the supe-
riority of an educatioIally trained
soldery. Post schools for limited in.
struction of the personnel in the com.
mon branches and in vocational sub.
jects had always existed In pre.war
times. In order to overcome the II.
iiteracy so prevalent in the draft army
and to take advantage OF war expe.
rience, the War department assumed
the responsibility for the education Of
the enlisted personnel. General edu.
cational and vocational training pro.
grams have been established. and all
camp activities have been so co-or.
dinated as to become active agents in
the educational and moral training of
the enlisted men. To further these
programs the congress appropriated

IN THE sixteenth century romances
Of chivalry, written in absurd, ex-
aggerated style, were extremely
popular in Spain.
A dignified gentleman by the name
Of Quixada, who lived between Aragon
and CASTLE went crazy oyer these
foolish books. which he spent all his
substance In buying. His brain was
stuffed with entertainments, quarrels,
battles, challenges, wounds. magic
salves, complaints, amours, torrents,
giants, castles, captured maidens, gal
Nnt rescueS, and all sorts of impossi-
BILE deeds Of daring, which seemed to
him as true as the most authentic his
tory. Every inn-keeper was mag
nate; every mule-drlver a cavalier.
He decided that for his own honor
and for the service of the world, he
must turn knight-errant and jaunt
through the world, redressing wrongs,
rescuing captured Processes, and at
last winning the imperial sceptre of
Trapizonda.
He changed his name to Don
Quixote de la Mancha, got himself
dubbed knight by q rascally publican,
whose inn he thought was castle
with four turrets crowned with pin.
nacles of glistening silver. In order
to carry full purse he sold one of
his houses. mortgaged another and
borrowed goodly sum from a friend
When his practical housekeeper and
his pretty niece, together with his
neighbors, the barber and the curate
thought to cure him by burning his
books, he was persuaded that his
library had been carried away by a
necromancer, and became crazier than
ever. He secured up rusty suit of
mail which had belonged to one of his
ancestors, mended the broken helmet
with a pasteboard vizor, patched with
thin iron plates, and thus accoutered
set forth on his old hack Rocinante,
whose ribs stuck out like the skeleton
of ship, accompanied by rustic
named Sancho Panza, persuaded into
serving as his squire.
TheiT departure was a brave spec.
tacle: the tall, cadaverous, lantern.
jawed knight, mounted on his bony
nag, WELDING his long lance and car
rying his sword. his eyes cleaning
with enthusiasm and dreaming of his
beautiful mistress. whom he called
Dulcinea del Toboso; the short, squat
paunch-bellied. long-haunched servant
with canvas wallet and leathern
bottle, mounted on the diminutive ass
Dapple.
On the plains of Montiel stood q
score of big wind-mills. Don Quixote
took them for outrageous giants and
prepared TO do battle against them
and despite SanchO's protests that
their huge arms were only vanes, he
plunged the rowels into Rocinante',
thin fiai ks and with couched lance
dasned off to the encounter. The wine
blew violently and tho knight and hi
steed were whirled away into the field
where they lay motionless and as i
dead; his lance was smashed tn fin
ders. Sancho fastened to the ala o
his master and found him unable t
stir; but he was soon ready to go OF
again.
