Go To School and College
The call has gone forth from
the educational, industrial and
the commercial leaders of the
country for the hgher training
of the youth of the land.
Never before has the call
been so urgent as it is now,
when the ravages of war are
being felt so keenly in every
branch of human endeavor.
Arkansas by January 1, will
have approximately 100,000
of its best manhood in uniform
fighting the battles of Democ
racy.
An appeal is being made on
patriotic grounds to every girl
and every boy below the draft
age, to continue his course in
school, or if he has finished
high school, to enter some
technical school or college.
Only in this way can the sup
ply of trained men and women
necessary to the government
in its war work, be maintained.
The “Go to School and Col
lege” campaign has the per
sonal endorsement of President
Wilson, Secretary of War, Ba
ker, Secretary of Navy, Dan
iels, Commissioner of Educa
tion, Claxton, and all the lead
ing educational authorities of
Arkansas.
An Emergency Council on
Education has been organized
in Arkansas to conduct the
campaign.
By proclamation Governor
Brough has set apart the en
tire month of August for a “Go
to School and College Cam
paign,” and specifically set
ppart the third Sunday as a
day on which the ministers of
every denomination, and edu
cational leaders who may be
called upon, shall make talks
in the churches and school
houses of every community,
urging the girls and boys to go
to school and college the com
ing year.

FROM LYNNE JIMERSON
Camp Merritt, N. J.
July 28, 1918.
Dear Mother:
How are you by now? fine I
hope, I am very well consid
ering- everything.
I will now try and tell you
of our trip. This was decid
edly the best trip I ever had.
We left Camp Pike between 11
and 12 Wednesday, arrived at
Dupo, 111., next morning, then
over to East St. Louis, 111., stay
ed there a while. Saw cousin
Thea on our trip. We stopped
at Poplar Bluff, Mo., Wednes
day night and paraded a while.
Then Thursday we stopped at
Decauter, 111., and paraded a
while. There the Red Cross
gave us cream cones and post
cards. Then we stopped at
Danville, 111., we got the best
reception there than at any
other place on our trip. We
stayed there a while but did
not get off, sure did see some
pretty girls there. That was
Thursday afternoon, we then
went to Lafayette, Ind., I went
on guard just before we left
Peru, Ind., and was relieved
soon after we left Feru at 11
o'clock, Thursday night. When
they called me Friday at 5 a.
m. for guard duty, we were
rolling into Detroit, Mich. We
ossed Lake Michiigan into
Windsor, Canada. Then we
went down Lakes St. Claire
and Erie all that morning sure
was a pretty sight. Thp water
looked like an old sage field in
the spring. Words cannot ex
press the beauty of the place.
The company paraded in
Windsor, but I was on guard.
Our next stop was in St.
Thomas, Canada, in Ontario.
They gave us a warm recep
tion there. We got to see
some of the effects of the war
there. Friday afternoon we
came to Niagra Falls, Canada,
unloaded there and walked
about 11/2 miles to the falls. I
am sending Irene a picture of
the scene of Niagra Falls. We
were given cigaretts and choc
olates there by the Red Cross.
By this tim we were on the
American side. Then we went
through Pennsylvania, seeing
all the coal and iron mines and
steel foundaries. Then we went
through Allentown, Penn., and
stopped there a while but did
not get off. WP sure saw a
crowd of girls there and they
sure did flirt with us too. Our
next stop was Bethlehem, Pa.,
where we got off and received
a warm welcome and lunches.
We then came here through
Jersey City and along the edge
of N. Y. City. Saw the Singer
building and the Statue of Lib
erty. Thp guards did not have
much trouble keeping the men
in the coaches until we got to
Jersey City, then they broke
out when the kids and girls
came out and shook hands
with us. The officers told us
when we started out not to
hang our heads or arms out,
but it soon ended. They just
turned us loose. Every little
place we passed during the day
we received cheers. Whistles
blew and every place we stop
ped people would come and
shake hands with us and give
us everything from money to
their prayers. Some of the
boys got as high as 25 girls
names. The girls of Illinois
Indiana and Pennsylvania were
the most friendly, especially
Danville, 111.
i I am proud I am an Ameri
can soldier. Of course I’d rath
er be with you all than any
where else, but as I can’t be
at home, I like here better than i
at Camp Pike. The camp here
s cool and more homelike than
Camp Pike. Our officers are
treating us fine. We havft as
fine a lieutenant as ever wore j
the khaki.
The other night after I had j
finished talking to you I went
back and reported to the first
sergeant, he asked me if you
were sick, I told him that Fred
my brother was sick but was
better. He said he hoped that
my brother was not seriously
sick and would be better soon.
Are Lovertia and Jucme still
there? I wish I could have
seen Miss Edith and Idahlia
Mullens before I had to leave.
I started this letter this morn
ing and havp been waiting all
day to be inspected and just
a iittle while ago got inspect
ed. We get our new equip
ment before long. Tell Ruby
that I am going to write her be
fore long. We don’t have to
drill any up here but they man
age to keep us busy all the
time checking up.. Guess we
will get to rest before long, as
soon as we get straightened
out.
| We are only about 14 miles
from New York City and Jer
sey City and as soon as I can
get off a while I am going over
there.
What are Fred and daddy
doing, still on the road? Wish
I could see you all. Maybe it
won’t be long before I will get
to see you1 all. Hope so at
i least.
Please don’t be uneasy or
worry about me for I am being
well taken care of and giye my
best regards to all my friends.
Write soon.
I am with lots of love,
Your son,
