Chaplain Class, Larger Than Usual, Began Military Studies on Monday

With a heavier enrollment than in the past few months, the May class at the Chaplain School began work on Monday. Most of the men as usual, came straight from civilian life.

As usual, their course will consist of all those things that many months of experience have found are necessary to fit the civilian clergyman for his military job. The basic course of Practical Duties will serve as a guide in directing their long since sequired religious principles to the military life.

This basic course is complemented by such courses as Army Morals, Army Organization, Military Law, Military Sanitation. Courtesies and Customs, Map Reading, and Graves Registration.

Quite a few chaplains who have already seen considerable field service and several who are home from the battle fronts are included in the present class. These men find in the course a refresher on the technical side of their work together with an interpretation of new phases and developments as published by the War Department since their induction into saliva service.

At the end of the first week of their classes, Chaplain (Colonell William D. Cleavy, Commandant, has expressed satisfaction with the progress shown and the willingness and cooperation evidenced.
