nilDAYt JUNE 23, dim Mat SEVEN Col. Gantt Says More Cit izens Should Follow Ex- mnple of J. C. Jester and Welcome Tourists. Thousands of Young Men Acquired Taste for Education Which is Now Making Itself Felt Throughout v the United States W j T rffi colleges of the United States arc flooded with^stliclents. IJie pressure on many has been so great that they h.-ira been compelled to , increase the severity of their examinations in order to control numbers. Marty reasons have been’ given for the increase^, demand for higher education. No single cause controls but unquestionably one has .been the great impetus given to many young men by their army experience. Looking back's few years it would seem that the United States had grown Somewhat complacent In its thought about its common school and higher education. The little red school house had grown familiar to our thought and we knejv that there were col leges everywhere. But the result of the draft examinations came as a shock. Not only was there a high percentage of illiteracy but altogether too many foreign-horn young men had grown to maturity as American citizens unable to speak or understand the English language. One of the first educational problems beyond the technical train ing of soldiers was met in the earlier, officers* training lamps by the teaching of French preparatory to overseas service. In addi tion to this, classes in elementary English and mathematics were BY/LARRY T. GANTT I have urged our citizens to fol- w the example of J. C.

During the sum mer of 1917 John Stewart Brydn, of Richmond, Va., as a result of his own enterprise in publishing a paper for Camp Lee, toneeiyed the plan of a nation-wide paper issued at the same time from some 46 points, with the same editorial pol icy but each containing local news.. Local arrangements' were made and on October 8, 1917, the first issue of "Trench and Camp* in 32 edi tions. was distributed at as many “while the Natiocal War Work Council of the Y. M.

The majority of teachers luring these early months were vol unteers either from among the sol diers themselves or from neighbor ing educational institutions. The military difficulty of dealing with soldiers who were, not only upablc to read or write but 'in many cases to understand English made this work most important. In May, 19'% the Development Battalions were formed for the purpose of giv ing intensive training to those who had no^had previous opportunities. At the same time the French meth ods -and courses were systematized and provision was made for instruc tion to be given by the Y. M. C.

He cannot tell a falsehood about the things hie makes, because there arc too many in the world to find-him out.
