Major Ferris' Development Bottallon
at Camp Upton Furnishes Basis
for New' Activity Splendid
Results Already Shown.
Camp Upton, L. I. The knowledge
jained during the war In connection
Svlth the training and Instruction of
illiterate and non-English speakers is
io be turned to account in the recruit
)ag of a peace-time army.
By direction of the war department
Jhere Is being established here the
iirst ''recruit educational center," for
'which 50 barracks and other build
ings have been set aside, and It will
ibe conducted on the lines followed by
SifaJ. Italph Hall Ferris when he made
such a success of development bat
talion No. 0, which wont out of being
.when the' armistice was signed.
-Major. Ferris is retiring as camp
morale officer to become commander
'of the center, which is the outgrowth
,othl8 own plan.
'Brigadier General Nicholson, camp
eoimaander, received within a few
daya the order to establish the center,
and recruiting has begun throughout
!the eastern' and northeastern depart
jnents of the army.
Will Be Taught English.
An Illiterate or non-EuglUh-speak-ing
recruit who enlists under the new
plan will be taught to speak English,
.will receive thorough American train
ing from officers born here, and will
in addition get citizenship papers;
whon lils enlistment term of three
years has expired.
Under the draft act i'4.9 per cent of
the Men enlisted, or practically one
lu'urter of them, were unable to read
a newspaper or write a letler home.
Titere were 1,500 such men sent here
and they were put in Major Ferris'
development battalion. Ills method
of training and educating them at
tracted attention In Washington. In
Hie notification sent to General Nich
olson by MaJ. Gen. Henry Jervey, as
sistant chief of staff, he said: "Your
camp has been selected not only
because ' It Is centrally located
but also because of the excel
lent results In connection with the
teaching of English that have been
obtained in development battalion No.
6, Camp Upton."
On August 21, 1018, the Sixth devel
opment unit was organized and all
rookletf who were Illiterate or did not
spfluk English, except a few who had
physical defects, were transferred to
It. The tea'-hers selected were pri
vates or noncommissioned officers who
hold university degrees or who wero
teacher?, In civil life. Itace was not
considered in the choosing of officers.
It was soon proven that squads and
platoons composed of different nation
alities received their military instruc
tion us easily as If racial groups had
been orgunlzed for the purpose. Only
English was permitted to be spoken
in the mess hulls, military formations
and general gatherings of the men.

Made Good Progress.
Within ti.roe months men who could
speak little or no English when they
entered the battalion became, sulll
rlently ptvfU-lent In military English
to fulfill the ordinary functions of
soldiers both in organisation anil on
separate missions. In addition prac
tically all of the recruits proved their
spirit of Americanism by becoming
citizens.
The recruits upon being accepted
for the new center will be classified
according to tholr knowledge of Eng
lish and asbigned to battalions accord
ingly. A S'-hool of instruction of th
illiterate and non-English-speaking re
cruits is being established. The
course of instruction will be normally
four months, or six months In excej)
tlonal cases. The men will be classed
In groups of 15 to 20 aud will be grad
ed according to the progress shown.
A board of uxatnlners will examine
the recruits for classification and pre
pare suitable tests to determine the
rate of progress especially of slow
learning men and the reasons for their
backwardness. Whn the recruits
have developed sufficiently for assign
ment Major Ferris will report them
to the adjntnnt general of the nrmy
for disposition.
