Show YOUNG MEN TO TAKE ON EDUCATION There have been new developments develop-ments of great importance in connection connec-tion with the Students' Army Training Train-ing Corps, i um writing this letter to give additional information. The Students' Army Training Corps will now consist of two sections, sec-tions, A and B,-A for men below college grade, i. e., those men who have not finished the regular four-year four-year high school course, and B for all high school graduates and former for-mer students of the College with college standing. The College is urged to invite men over eighteen, especially those who have had some high school work, to join class A. All men over eighteen in'both classes will be inlisted and until draft numbers num-bers are called they will receive $30 per month. They will pay' for tuition, tui-tion, quarters and subsistence, but when their order numbers in the draft are called they will receive commutation for rations and quarters quar-ters in addition to the $30 per month. mon-th. The main source of officers in the future will be from the colleges and every three months, or perhaps at longer intervals, the man will be given the opportunity to be designated desig-nated for Officers' Camps or be assigned as-signed for further training at the College to fit themselves for scientific scien-tific or technical service. The President Pres-ident of the College and the Commanding Com-manding Officer of the S. A. T. C. will determine how long men are to be kept in college. Those men who will probably be drafted between now and the open ing of College, September 30, should request the President's Office or the Commanding Officer of the S. A. T. C. to ask the Committee of the war Department at Washington to have them assigned to the Agricultural College of Utah for training under the S. A. T. C. The committee will immediately instruct the draft boards to do this. As soon as possible possi-ble the men will all be housed and fed on the campus. Very truly yours, E. G. PETERSON, President. The Red Cross is taking up this line of work especially and an educational edu-cational campaign urging upon the American public the necessity of influencing in-fluencing all disabled soldiers who return from the front to take up training at government expense, which will enable them to become self-supporting citizens, will be launched in the immediate future. Red Cross speakers all over the country are arranging an educational campaign along this line on a large scale and it is expected that the people peo-ple at home will fully understand the necessity of making their friends and loved ones who are disabled realize real-ize that it is their patriotic duty to take up such training immediately. What the Red Cross wishes to guard against most of all is to keep the disabled men from faking jo'js upon their return which may be vacant va-cant as a result of the labor shortage and in which able bodied men will be given preference' when it is possible to obtain their services. |
