"DUTCH" HOEHLER 'l5
- AT FORT THOMAS
Engaged In "Mothering Home
sick Rdoklea" With Other Y.
M. C. A. Men
F. K. Hoehler 'l5, familiarly known
"To Penn State men as "Dutch," is en.
gaged In Y 51. C A. work at
.$ Thomas, the big training-camp ofFort
the
Middle West, across the river front
Cincinnati, Ohio Ills work consists
principally of "mothering up tho home
sick rookie" and a description of this
is given in a comparatively late issue
of the "Christian Herald." A fairly
good Idea of his work is given in the
.following extracts taken from an in
terview given to the above mentioned
magazine.
"In every training camp, you get a
great number of homesick boys I
have my volunteer walkers, whom I
deploy In squads, and they make a
definite business of cheering up these
lads and helping them over the try
ing first two or three days
"You who are clO-horn and bred and
used to strangers can't fancy what it
means to the country boy, the Ind
from the Kentucky mountains or the
Indiana hills, to be launched of a sod.
den In a strange post with strange
_men. Squarely on such coining he Is
ordered to stile, and for perhaps four
or five hours he goes from doctor to
doctor—'from pillar to post.' -as it
seems to him—to be examined for this
and that. He is vaccinated against
'smallpox and ghee serum against
typhoid, and Pint these two inoculations
are enough to make not a few men
sick for a day. While sick he has
time to lot his mind go back to the
home folks, and then the homesick
ness gets in its work. Hero be Iles on
a cot; were he home, mother would
have the big patchwork quilt tucked In
around the soft mattress for him.
Here a doctor leaves orders, which
aro filled mechanically; back home=
well, you can fancy what he pictures
there
"He is lonesome, gets disheartened,
eyes the new mess kit, to whose items
he is wholly unaccustomed, and
breaks down completely. Then the
word reaches us by grapevine tele
graph (for the work bears the ap
proval of our new commander, Colonel
Hutchinson); and by and by—all ac
cidentally, you'd suppose—ene of our
volunteers goes over, drops In, starts
conversation on some topic, gets the
man interested In the new life; leads
him off to our free moving pictures,
and before you would expect it, you've
a wholly different soldier there!"
In addition to this, paper and a
place to write letters is provided,
games, magazines, and books for the
amusement and cheering up of tile sol
diers.

TIME WASTED IN "JES'

(University Dally - Kansan)
"Too ninny students go to the li

one professor to ills classes ''Ste.

minutes glancing through four or flee
magarines, read a serious book for
oerhaps half nn hour, and then spend
from ten minutes to an hour puttering
around with a humorous mono/Inc of
something of a similar nature
There con be no doubt but that the
professor's criticism Is well founded.
It's se easy to 'wander Into Spooner,
stop at the nutgarine racks on the may

That the better (trade of popular mug

evidence of the broad mindedness of
those in charge there The trouble Is
ultit the student who hasn't sufficient
control of his Will to pass up the mug

"Yes, for heaven's sake rend the
