The U.S. Federal Bureau of Education has taken official notice of the task which confronts the nation of keeping up the supply of technical and scientific knowledge necessary not only for the conduct of military operations, but for carrying on essential war industries. The Bureau reflects the anxiety that many have felt regarding the depletion of the colleges and universities by draft and enlistment. Doubtless the colleges should not actively discourage recruiting, but whether that be so or not, it would have been impossible for then to have done it, even if they had regarded such a course as the part of wisdom and true patriotism.
