d education of its foreign and Hitter

and education of it's foreign and litter
ate elements.
For many years the United States
army had been q thing apart from
the normal life and interest Of the
country as a whole. 1t had been toll
Grated as a necessary and expensive
luxury, rather than considered as
valuable and potent influence in civic,
economic, and educational develop
ment. Its standards and ideals had
been misunderstood and it's 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 possibiii-
ties for it's 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 1t 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 educatiOnally trained
soldiery. Post schools for limited In
struction Of the personnel in the COM
mon branches and in vocational SUBJ
jects had always existed in pre-war
times. In order to overcome the IL
literacy 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 euuSleu mcH. AZ AuItHcI tItSe
programs the congress appropriated
100000. Additional funds were sup
piled by the seven affiliated welfare
organizations, whose army activities
were assumed by the War department
November 1, 1919.
Briefly, the general policy outlined
above is to give a co-ordinated general
educational and vocational training for
maximum effective military service and
for future success in civil life.
This educational work has been
given the same Importance as was de-
manded In purely military training.
The number of vocational and edu-
cational subjects taught in different
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1921-01-06

camps varies from 10 to 40; about 1886
classes are in operation, in which are
enrolled over $4,000 enlisted men as
students. Thus the War department
maintains without cost to the students
with their normal soldier pay the
largest university In the world.
The latest reports furnish the follow
ing additional statistics: Educational
classes, 1915; men in educational
classes, 1929; vocational classes. q
259; men In vocational classes, 27,262; ;
illiterates receiving instruction. $3.50;
enlisted instructors, 1,494; commits
stoned instructors, 613; civilian In
structors, 1,571 men under instruction
In educational and vocational courses
selected by themselves, 4O,1O1; men
whose military duties give training and
practice in vocational courses, 4O.77S.
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 oil of them,
however, certain basal requirements
are insisted upon with view to giving
every soldier such course IN Amert-
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 de-
mocracy in It's 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
lish in its elementary branches, and
quickly given a 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
mise native-born Americans who, by
reason of their remoteneSs from edu-
cational opportunities, are unable to
read and write.
Almost every nation in the world Is
recognizable in the names OF these
Young men, and know of no process
which has yet been attempted in
America which so rapidly inspires ci-
verse groups with common purpose
and common sense to their obligations
to America as this service in the army,
where men get education and at the
same time are permitted to feel the
dignity of the service which they in
turn are rendering TO the state.

Idealizing Vices

The common feature of the cult OF
all idols is the adoption Of an ideal
to the evil instincts of mankind. Man
cultivates the vices which are profit
able to him. but feels the necessity OF
legitImatizing them being unwilling TO
sacrifice them, he must idealize them.
That is why the problem az which he
has never ceased to labor throughout
the centuries has been to harmoEize
