miles away blasted loading dock
of the Hastings naval ordnance
depot today.

haven't seen one of these posters
yet, but I hope they do the job, for
the task ahead for the teacher and
the opportunities that the profess
sion will offer are both bound to
expand tremendously due to the
situation which will follow the war.
This will spring from two causes.
The first is part of a universal
demand which is already being
heard abroad as well as at home.
when any group, formal or informal,
gets together to talk over postwar
conditions. Plenty Of ridicule is
hurled by the so-called hard-headed
citizens at the postwar planners
whose name is legion. But congress
has already learned that there is
one brass-tacks phase of war-plan-
ming that can't be labelled as
amiable day-dreaming and ignored.
That is exemplified in the so-called
"GI bill of rights" - which includes
the billion dollar program" for
education for returning veterans.
Educational Demands
The bill will pass congress and
will be signed. The soldier, far
more vocal than he has ever been
before, and representing the great
