6 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1918 Captain Forrest E. Ambrose Heads Mental Development Work At Camp Sherman, Ohio Mental, as well as physical devel- opement to fit men for service in the great fight overseas, has come to be recognized as one of the most im- portant factors in the training of millions of newly made soldiers in the training camps of this country. Captain Forrest E. Ambrose of Wilmette, is one of the leaders in this branch of the service who is gaining widespread recognition for his splendid work in the Develop- ment school at Camp Sherman, Chilicothe Ohio, of which he is in charge. Extracts from a letter recently re- ceived by relatives of the army officer contgin an excellent though brief explanation of the nature of the work under his supervision. Captain Ambrose says, in part: Dear Folks: -- : "I have been relieved from du- ty with my company and can now devote all my time to the special work which I have been putting all of my spare time on for several months. That is school and organ- ization work for Development bat- talions. Have brought to light a great many points and plans for the bet- terment of this work and have been put on a special job to run all the schools and where I will have time to work up plans and things for ex- tensions and betterment. Am not quite so busy as I was but still have my hands full. None of the schools are running now due to the 'flu' but that pest has been broken now and we have hopes of being back on the job with about forty classes running now. Cac 0 SER Raise Fund for School May have to get out on the stump to carry the message of the needs of this work to the people. We had a conference in my office this morn- ing and decided to raise $65,000 or $75,000 to build "a school building, gymnasium, etc.,, for my department. The War department and the Amer- ican people want to put a hand picked army in France and in the process of picking we find defects in men 'of four general kinds, ie: Physical, Mental, Nervous and Edu- cational. Some cases come under several general types and the work of this department is to remedy the defect what ever it is. The medicaly staff does the physica] remedial ¥ partment to examine the men for | j 'their mental rating; there is a Neu- ro-Psychiatric board to look after the allied nervous and mental cases and my department has both the teaching of illitetates and non-Eng- lish speaking foreigners and the physical education to handle. The building which I have planned and gotten by the conference of Physic- al directors, (Y. M. C. A.) will ac- comodate all my schools gymnasium work, athletic work and specialized | exercises for special defects which may be cured by physical culture, etc. I have a corps of about sixty teachers now and will have more for the school alone. Have a physical director, a real scientific physical culturalist, and will have an ade- quate staff for him. The athletic di- rector for the whole camp was here this morning and assured us that it would be only a small trick to raise the desired money from the Y, Red Cross, Commission on training camp activities, etc, and that we would have something doing right away. Am in a very vital work and im- mensely interested in it as many of the ideas now being carried out are my own brain children. ~ No Time to Write Letters "IT have had several letters from prominent men in the church there at 'Wilmette and 'want to answer \ them as soon as possible. Mr. T. = E. -D. Bradley,- Mr. J. R. Harper, superintendent of schools, with separate letters and the whole church session signing one letter, including the new minister Reverend George P. Magill. I have had so little time that I haven't been able to answer «them and would like to have the 'opportunity to talk fo them some ' time and spill some of this dope I have fermenting in my 'think tank. But as for writing letters I simply haven't had time. For the past three months I have hit the floor at day- light, worked at top speed until sup- per time and sometimes until late at night, and then stretched out almost immediately to rest for the next ; day." ! The following item from the f "Camp Sherman News" tells briefly of Captain Ambrose's special appoint- ment. Captain Ambrose in Charge work, there is a- Psychological "de=|" {willing "The execution of the work out- lined has been assigned to Captain Forrest A. Ambrose of the Second Development Battalion. Captain Ambrose has been inter- ested in the educational work of the development battalions as carried on to date. His knowledge of what has already been done along this line and of errors to be avoided, together with his abilities as an organizer, are said especially to fit him for the responsibility. The work of the new schools, as outlined by Captain Ambrose, will be based on the unification of the edu- cation program of all the develop- ment battalions in camp. In this feature the new program is a de- parture from the in use. Some of the men in the develop- ment battalions require medical and surgical treatment. For others, phys- ical exercises only are used for cor- rective purposes. It is the physical training and the educational work to which Captain Ambrose is giving at- tention."

Buildings partially burned may be re- paired without a permit, if they can be completed for a cost not to exceed $2,500. y Chinese page boys made their ap- pearance at a San Francisco hotel re- cently.
