Pentogon's Civilian School
Truly an Amozinq Operation

school whose student roster has run
into thousands is 1t. Col. John l.
Schick Of the Civilian Personnel
Division of the Adjutant Generals
Office.
BY reference to complete but ex-
tremely compact files he can give
you not only the day-to-day prog
ress of any pupil but brief,
thumbnail sketcn of personality and
general aptitude with respect to
scientific placement for a specific
assignment. Originally with Inter-
national Business Machines, Col.
Schick was one of the experts called
in to help setup the Army's Per-
sonnel Record System. He is en-
thusiastic as to the results which
may be achieved in similar schools
for the rehabilitation of physically
handicapped war veterans.
BY means of preliminary tests,
students are screened or graded into
three groups. Daily shifts from lower
groups to higher ones on the basis
of day-to-day improvements are
quite matter OF course. As a re-
suit of the five speed tests a day in
all subjects, the Commute spelling
drills, and the daily practice of from
one to two hours in actual military
correspondence individuals often
swing from the lowest groups to the
highest ones within a week. Stu
dent morale is always at a high
peak because of the realization that
future salary advancements will be
made on the basis of skills, and
promotional opportunities often lie
ahead for those who qualify for
greater responsibilities.
Each group has it's own honor

CrulClnR programs.
The students who attend these
classes are on Uncle Sans payroll
and their classrooms occupy one
whole corridor.
1t is the only school unit of its
kind in the Government, and
students are drawn from the ranks
of those who have qualified for, and
accepted employment with the
Army Service Forces here. They
come for all over the United States.
The majority are recent high
school graduates, but every phase
of educational professional and
community background is repre-
sented
One Year Old.
Just one year old, this highly
successful Government educational
innovation is in reality an intensive
preassignment and preorientation
course for the typists and Stenog-
raphers drawn from civilian life who
soon will be helping win the war
through the skill and accuracy with
which they speed supplies and
equipment to our fighting forces
Day by day, too, they will be help
ing win the peace by the work which
they will do in preparing and keep
ing the records which have to do
with the administering of occupied
areas
Mistakes on the part of these
civilians must be cut to the barest
margin of possibility; hence the en-
phasis on individual responsibility
and thoroughness.
Only those who have had basic
training in typing and stenography
are eligible for the courses.
Champion Spoilers.
The spelling of such frequently
used Army words as "bombardier,
"camouftage" and many others are
frequent stumbling blocks but daily
spelling drills quickly bring almost
perfect results. Recent high school
graduates are so far proving them
selves the champion spoilers.
These courses have proved so
popular with chiefs of divisions that
volunteer refreSher courses of one
and a half hours a day also are
being conducted for the benefit of
those employees who entered the en-
plov of the Army Service Forces be-
fore this school was inaugurated,
but feel they would benefit in speed
and accuracy by entering certain OF
the classes.

rolls for efficiency and speed. Some
OF these take the form Of posters,
and are the handiwork OF students
as part Of their volunteer extra
curricular"' activities. Typing to the
martial swing of records is but one
instance of the many methods used
in adding zest and variety to the
days routine. In order to extract
the ultimate benefit from his school
work every student on the COM
pletion Of the course takes with him
complete file of sample letters
likely to be helpful in following the
procedures used in military corre-
spondence.
Lectures in Morning.
Morning highlights of the daily
schedules are short, brisk, seouential
orientation lectures which acquaint
such Army Force Service newcomers
as Susanah La Fargo from New Or
leans, Mary Alden from Connecti-
cut, Sam Jones from Texas and
their colleagues with their individ-
ual relation to and responsibility
for the functioning of the various
staff divisions, technical services
and commands of the Army.
The snappy, informative orienta-
ton lecture we heard given by Mrs.
Paula F. Taylor of Philadelphia,
with THE Quartermaster Corps as
the Army's Housekeeper" as it's sub
ject. How individual carelessness
cap slow down even the strategic
plans of generals was graphically
by the classic example
of the typist who thoughtlessly put
certain important directions for the
overseas shipment of tanks into 4
Ito hold" basket instead of expedit-
ing them Immediately. When they
were finally unearthed, it was too
late for the tanks to make the
scheduled convoy, and these vitally
needed accessories to a landing op-
Grafton had to wait Transportation
until arrangements could be made
for another convoy priority.

Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Mar. 27-Timid
buyers took on a few rails, liquors
and specialties in today's stock mar
ket but showed little liking for most
leaders.
Stemming of investment demand
was blamed mainly on disinclination
of potential purchasers to extend
commitments in the face of another
Churchill warning that the invasion
hour was approaching. There was
a smattering of pleasing earnings
compilations to aid individual issues
but exceptions were plentiful.
Dealings were sluggish from the
start and volume of around 100, 900
shares was one of the smallest for
full session this month. While
there were scattered strong spots
near the close, the minus ranks
were filled.
In new high ground for 1914 with
gains of fractions to a point or so
were Park g. Tilford, Distillers
Corp, Deloware e. Hudson, Kansas
City Southern. Glenn Martin and
Goth Century Fox. Among heavy air
transports and gold mines were
American Airlines, Pan American
Always, United Air Lines, Home
stake and yre-Porcupine. In
front were Santa Fe, Union Pacific,
Great Northern. Du Pont and East
man Kodak. Steels, motors, rub
bers, oils, coppers and mail orders
did virtually nothing.

Capital Banks Meet
Heavy Demand for
Ration Tokens
By EDWARD G. STONE.

demand Tor the new ration bank
Ing tokens from Washington banks
has been very heavy but ample
advance supplies have enabled these
financial institutions to meet all
needs, thanks to close cooperation
with the OPA. There have been
some repeats" as merchants found
they did not have enough tokens
to supply all their customers with
change" A. Scott Offutt, presi-
dent of the District Bankers As
ISOLATION, said today.
Several of the lettered stamps
have recently expired and store
customers have fastened to get
tokens in their place as these never
expire. Customers can obtain tokens
only through the purchase of goods
and not by direct exchange. The
demand for change, as the stamps
expired, sent some merchants hur-
rying to the banks to get a new
token supply.
The tokens have been in use
since February 81, the date set by
the OPA for the new plan Should
the banks run short, the OPA could
meet any emergency as the reserve
supply is placed at 900,000,000.
