The law prescribes that not to exceed one-half of 1 per cent of the enlisted men of the Army shall be detailed to suitable institutions.

It is confemplated, under the present plans, that the enlisted men detafled to the varfous educational institutions will be required to spend nine months at some Army station where inten- sive training in Army procurement problems could be given them. As the experience gained during the World War gradually disappears with the advancing years, some step should be taken to replace it by educated men, and it is believed that the method of eapitalizing the educa- tion of enlisted men is the first for- ward step which has been taken the department in this direction.
