(U.PJ A block from the University of Wiscon sin campus .with its scores of large buildings, is an old gray brick structure once used as a Madison grammar school. Today that buildings houses, if not the largest, at least the most widespread school in the world the United States Army Insti tute. The institute under the direc tion of Lt. Col. William R. Young, has been in operation since mid-April and recently turned out its first "graduate," Pvt. Joseph A. Benia, stationed at Chicago. Benia has completed a preparatory course in radio telephony and telegraphy. More than 1.000 soldiers from all branches of the army have enrolled in the correspondence courses originating here. Any where up to 70.000 are expected It's NOT JllSt a Matter of DOLLARS a. LD ABE LINCOLN had ' one main idea. He wanted to save the Union. But that didn't cause him to neglect hit fellow men. Similarly, Standard has no thought except to help win the war. Day and night we concentrate on producing a prime munition. Yet another matter has Standard's attention. We're proud to say that, al though we are in the front line production trenches, around 12 per cent of our personnel has stepped over into the fighting trenches. Already we have 2,056 stars in our service flag. We in tend to see that these men get the best break we can give them. Not only has each one re ceived allowances generally running from 15 to 35 per cent of a year's pay, but all vacation time for which they were eli gible has been translated into dollars. And why not? Every man of them wants to be a good soldier and so do we. In the past, Standard has tried to assure the future of its employees by providing fair pay, job-security, retirement benefits. Now the lads in the fighting sen ices are assuring our future and yours . , . and yours . . . and yours. It's turn about. We want it also to be fair play.

Most of the 60 odd courses are of the vocational type and none is for college credit. If the soldier wants col lege work, the army will pay half the bill at any of the 70 college extensions on its ac credited list.

Thirty army men are on the Job now and more than 70 will be here when the school's enrollment rises to its expected peak.
