CLERGY MEETS NEEDS OF ARMY

The spiritual leaders in the United States are keeping abreast of the accelerated program for war production. This is evidenced by the increasing numbers of clergymen who are volunteering their services in the armed forces as Chaplains.

On Monday of this week the Chaplain School began instructions for the new group of clergymen to take upon themselves the great responsibility of spiritual leadership for the men in our armed forces. This is the largest class enrolled since the beginning of the Chaplain School.

Same Course of Study

Their course of study will be the same as in preceding classes and will consist of such military subjects as will enable these men of religion to fit their special knowledge and training to their new military duties.

Another unusual record has been set by the Chaplain School, namely in the procurement of insurance protection. Lieutenant Peter Chabris, who is in charge of this insurance program, announces with pride that the chaplains attending School in the past period were smart enough to cover themselves with the magnificent total of $1,561,500 worth of War Risk Insurance.
