NIGHT SCHOOL START
A night school was established
so that tie men could be taught
to read and write in order that
they might be able to sign their
names.
Frequently, boys who lived in
the backwoods and had not been
notified that they were drafted Or
had misunderstood the summons
arrived at Camp Dodge under the
escort Of Southern deputy sher-
ifs. This practice grew to be
racket. The cost of the officers
fare and expdlses plus a $50
bonus were taken from the SOL
dier's pay and in many instances
boys received no pay for months
because they were paying back the
expenses of the officer who
brought them to camp.
There appeared to be concen-

"'It appeared as though the
draft officers in Ala grabbed every
boy of the correct age they could
