LIBERTY ST. - The first University of Michigan training detachment, having concen- trated into 50 days of school work the things which, under lesser pressure, would be covered in as many weeks, has bid the campus farewell and en- trained for the world's greatest "prov- in ground." It is apparent that the results at- tained have satisfied those responsible for the creation of army mechanical training courses since the second Un- iversity of Michigan training detach- ment is three and one half times the sizeof the first. Things are being at- tempted and accomplished today that were unheard of before the world was set on fire, and as a result, it has now been proved that young men can be made into good fighters and good workmen in two months, given the proper material and spirit. Much Accomplishtd A review of the work of the first training detachment at the University of Michigan is chiefly a chronicle of a long list of strenuous tasks, assign- ed and executed in a manner creditable to American soldiers. There had been no training schools before to set pre- cedents so the men just went ahead and blazed a trail for themselves which their successors will follow, provided they step lively. The first detachment arrived for ser- vice April 15, 1918, and assigned to instructors working with courses pre- pared by the Federal Board for Vo- cational Education, in co-operation with the various arms of the service. The new soldiers, almost all of whom volunteered at their draft boards, cc"e placed in ci groups to be taught as engine repair work, carpentry, forge work, gunsmithery and machin- ist trades. The first problem in con- nection with the course was the as- signing of the right men to their prop- er kind of work. This was met sue- cesfully by careful interviewing and conscientious observation on the part tof instructors. How well the men were placed from the beginning is borne out on the records, which show that less than one percent of the men were transferred after beng, assigned the first forty-eight hours after ar- rival. Mostly From Detroit Of the 195 men who reported for duty and were retained, about two- thirds camne from the automobile fac- tories in and around Detroit. Many were apprentices who realized that they were given an opportunity of ac- quiring, in systematic and scholarly fashion, a thorough knowledge of those things at whch they had been workng in more or less desultory fashion. There were many others who had nev- er been mechanics, yet showed some inclination or aptitude in that direc- tion, who had been engaged in non- essential lines and who wanted to be trained in how to be of maximum value to their Uncle Sam. All these jumped into the tasks assigned them with a willing spirit and a devotion to ser- vice and the result was mostly grat- ifyidg. (To e tontinued Satrday.) "Private Ima Prune, I hereby make you a sergeant," growled a member of the training detachment. "I also be- stow upon you a lead medal for faith- ful, obedient, and never murmuring service. You have never complained of the rough-necks that were occa- sionally stationed in this guard house. \Vhy are you so white, Sergeant, this is a great honor and you must not get scared? You have always been on guard, and since you never need any sleep, you are the only man in the entire detachment that is worthy of such high honor. Henceforth, perform you duties as heretofore, and do not slacken up in your work." The above eulogy was delivered to a "tall individual" who is ever standing in the guard house. It is rumored that lee served in many ca- pacities, both for the University of lichigan and the government. At the present time he lacks adequate cloth- ing but the officials of the detach- ment plan to equip the "gentleman" ,before the summer season is over.
