Tacoma Men from 25 different countries with a united mroose to learn how to read and write the American language meet every morn ing m the school for illiterates at Camp Lewis. It is just one of the features that the army offers the recruit who wants to become a ster ling American and learn a paying trade. , The Camp Lewis school is one of the nine recruit educational centers in The United States and includes all I recruits from the 9th army corps who cannot read, write or speak American. The school was started Julv 20. bv Lieutenant-Colonel H. T. Matthews, who has been in charge ever since.

It was not many years ago that the Inventor was looked upon ns a servant of Old Nick. He had to tight a world of superstition, with backward look ing forces seeking to destroy him. At best he was thwarted -people pointed nt their bends wl-:i he strolled along the street, and his machine became a "folly." In consequence the Inventor usually went to his grave a pauper. ir not n martyr, and years drifted by before his work became usoffM to iunn kind. The open-mlndedness of the present era of science and Its rewards Is il lustrated best by our attitude toward men of Imagination and new Ideas.
