NATIONAL ARMY
SCHOOL AT STATE
UNI. BIG SUCCESS
Training in Military 2nd Indus
trial Has Prepared 927
Men for Important
War Duties.
.' The first half of the term for the
first contingent of the National Army
Training school at the University of
Nebraska is now over. Splendid prog
ress has been made in both military
and industrial work.
:- There are 927 men in the four com
panies comprising, this contingent.
They are nearly all from Nebraska
and represent every county in the
state. In their technical work they
are classified as auto mechanics, trac
tor mechanics, wheelwrights, radio
telegraphers, blacksmiths, machin
ist and woodworkers.
In each branch the soldier students
receive a very practical course )i In
struction in the operation, care, train
1 tenance and repair of the apparatus
used in their branches; in- the Guid
ing of commercial products in the
machine shops and carpenter shops,
in the framing of small buildings; in
the study of the telegrapher's code.
The training lasts for two months
only, after which the soldier is as
signed to an army station where his
military training, which has been
given a good start, here, will be con
tinued. - '
The soldiers who have been given
the intensive training for two months
in industrial lines, will be scattered
all through the various army units
so as to be available in any emergency
that may arise. Thus a machinist
mar be at hand who can correct a
fault in machine gun which would
'. otherwise be put out of action, an
auto mechanic may be able to ad
just a carburetor, attend to the oiling
system or drive a truck in some emer
gency, and others accordingly. This
is another illustration of the wonder
ful preparation being made for the
army that America is placing in the
battle fields of Europe.
' By a contract with the War de
partment the University of Nebraska
has assumed full responsibility for the
-i'houaing, feeding and technical Instruc
'tion of the men. At the city campus
Nebraska Hall has been converted
mto barracks for more than 300 men.
Shower baths have been installed'in
V the basement to supply the facilities
in the basement of the armory. At
the university farm the judging pavil
ion, the upper floors of the new horse
barn and the machinery building have
been worked over into quarters. Two
hundred men are located at the Hay
ward Military academy, which is well
adapted to military purposes.
Professor Ferguson in Charge.
The technical instruction is under
the direction of Prof. O. J. Ferguson,
acting dean of the college of engineer
ing, and Profs. George R. Chapman
and J. N. Bridgeman. All the mem
bers f the faculties of the colleges of
engineering and j agriculture, not in
military service, are being used as in
structors and several instructors have
, been called in from other institutions
to aid in the emergency.
The commanding officer of the mili
tary organization is Capt. Ernest E.
Wheeler, National army, of Yonkers.

Pres. R. B. Crone, LL.D.,
Hastings, Nebraska
N. Y. Fifteen other officers of the
National army are assigned to duty
with the contingent. The soldiers are
under military regime at all times.
They police their quarters, establish
marrtc anH fnl'nw in everv detail the
customs of the army regarding their
soldierly duties. I hey are awaKenea
by bugle calls, they answer to forma
tions hv husrle call, and tattoo and
taps close their day. Even in their
classes and laboratories the group
formations and discipline are pat
terned after military procedure.
The Young Men's jChristian asso
ciation has been very active in plan
ning for typical Ked triangle con
tact with the soldiers. Secretaries
who have had extensive service in
cantonments were sent here for the
purpose of making; this a special de
vclonmcnt. Fred E. Aden has gen
eral charge of the work.
Open Hostess House.
The Young Men's Christian associa
tion has opened a hostess house in the
university temple and all possible as
sistance is given the social life of the
camp from this point of view.
Each Friday night during the sum
mer session of the university a social
hour was arranged by the faculty and
students, to whicl. the soldier boys
were made welcome. There was a
large attendance and all enjoyed the
opportunity of meeting the Nebraska
boys in this friendly way.
Plans are already being made for
the arrival of the next contingent on
August IS. It is understood that but
500 of these men will be from Ne
braska, although the tdtal will be a
little larger than the present school.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that but two states, Minnesota
and Texas, exceed Nebraska in the
number of men being prepared for
technical war service through insti
tutions. Enrollment Records Are
Broken at York College
The summer school of York col
lege has the largest enrollment in
the history of the institution. Two
hundred and fifty are registered in all
departments. The largest previous
summer enrollment was 110.
The outlook for a full enrollment
at the fall semester is bright at this
time. Military training will be sub
stituted for competitive athletics, and
every effort is being made to have
100 or more men in attendance.
