The case arises of man who has
been eligible for training but>>who is
not taking advantage Of it. 1t is the
duty of the personal service officer to
derstanding, family disarrangement or
personal difficulties which may be keep
ing him from entering training. Again
a man who Is in training comes to ask
how to get his child to school. This
is no special training difficulty. but a
problem of a wayward child which needs
attention from some one qualified to
such service.
Suppose a man in the hospital is
worried about his family because he
has had to give up training and take
medical treatment; the personal service
officer would tell him actually how he
could resume training when he is able.
and could assure him that his family
difficulties would be met during his
absence This would relieve the mans
mind and make quicker recovery pos
sible.
BENEFIT OF Personal Talk.
There is on record the case Of a
man without much schooling who was
recommended for a course at Michi-
gan University. He thought it would
be of no use for him and informed
the board that he did not want train
ing. 1t was up to the personal serv-
ice officer to chat with him and ex-
plain that the course was special
one for which he had proper en-
trance requirements. Another man
wanted animal husbandry and refused
to take training because his notih-
cation read agriculture" The per-
sonal service officer was able to ex-
plain to him that the particular
course in the agriculture college gave
him animal husbandry and he en-
tered training.
Such emergencies as the following
must be met by the personal service
officer. A~man came late Saturday
afternoon to the federal board say
ing that he was a patient on leave :
and that he had arrived homo to hnd
his brother very i'll and wanted
doctor for him at once. The brother
was an ex-service man who had new

had been out of the service for over
a year and had never been well

fact there was no machinery under

ate treatment and at the same time
got him to sign his compensation sp-=

is far from complete; however, it is
sufficient to indicate the type of men
who were developed in this farming
community. One fact may explain the
success of these farmer boys: the
Meeme settlers evolved the idea of
making their public school a social and
intellectual center for adults as well as
for children. Good literature was read
to the assembled people; and oratory
and alertness were developed in the
frequent debating contests that were a
major part of the school activities. No
expense was spared in securing for the
district the best teachers available. As
a result no rural school in Wisconsin
outrank ed the little institution at the
Meme crossroads. 1t was case of
casting bread upon the waters and
finding it after many days.

DOG RELAYS CALL OF PHONE
Well-Trained Animal Said Never to
Make a Mistake in Notifying
His Mistress.

Not far from Boston lives a dog by
the name of Timbuctoo, a dog which
has never been trained but which of
its own accord acquired a trick"
which besides being clever Is decidedly
helpful. His home is on farm, which
Is served by a seven-party telephone
line. The call at Timbuctoo's house
is FIVE bells, or as the toll operator
would say, Ring five" Wherever his
mistress is when the telephone rings
five times Timbuctoo will go to her
and give five short, sharp banks. He
has never been known to make a mis-
take either by barking more or less
than five barks, or by calling his mis-
tress when the bell rings some other
call.
In order to "show off Timbuctoo,'
his mistress asks a neighbor to call
her in a few minutes, then she goes
somewhere out of range of the tele-
phone. and TImbuctoo never fails to
give proof of his trustworthy sum
mOning.
