A CENSUS FOR WAR WORK

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

With the approach of the long vacation and the uncertainty of military plans for the near future, the question of utilizing the otherwise idle summer months of the country's best advantage must necessarily become pertinent in the mind of every undergraduate. Of the great number of men who will not enlist in any military organization, either because of physical disability or because of the necessity of earning money during the summer, as many as possible must engage in some activity which will be of direct service to the nation.

It is therefore with great satisfaction that we learn that the College Office has taken official steps in the enrolment of the student body for summer work on farms, in shipyards and in munition plants. Each man will be afforded an opportunity of securing work which will not only offer a remuneration proportionate to his experience and ability, but which will provide substantial aid to our war organization.

The next summer will see a testing out of the undergraduate's honest purpose. No man with a drop of red blood or a spark of patriotism will be idle. The seashore must be devoid of college men, for it is indeed necessary that everyone occupy his entire time. The way is made easy to be of real service in the increase of our food, tonnage and munitions. The call for the aid of all men not otherwise employed is urgent. Through a hearty response at this time, the proper distribution of varying ability will be made possible, and a complete mobilization of college men for the needs of the time will be made a reality.
