I can not see any merit in the contention of time gentleman from Vermont when he says the Army is an institution for defense and nothing else. In my opinion the Army. like any other institution of the United States Government. if it is to be efficient. should be used in every way that is possible that does not interfere with its ordinary and particular functions. I think there is no excuse in the world why the officers of the United States Army should not be devoting. in their spare time. their energies and intellects to improving the citizenship of this country and building up the magnificent structure that we hope it will continue to be. Remember. this does not apply altogether to immigrants. but also to many thousands of native born who can neither read. write. nor speak the English language.
