UOUIS\ ILLE, Ky., June 25.—The
only school for chaplains ever main
tained by the United States army soon
will graduate its second class at Camp
Zachary Taylor. There are ninety
students in the class, which is made
up of ministers of many denomina
tions, some of,whom until recently
served as pastors of big city churches.
Some of the graduates already have
been commissioned as chaplains,
while others are “approved candi
dates for chaplain awaiting appoint
ment.”
No instruction on theological sub
jects is attempted at the school. The
whole effort is centered upon fitting
clergymen, fresh from civil life and
the problems of civil life, into the
military scheme of things.
If Private Bill Jones gets what he
considers a “raw deal” from his cap
tain, ten chances to one ho will find
it convenient to talk the matter over
with his chaplain, for it is to the
chaplain the “buddy” goes in time
of trouble. When Bill Jones appears
with his tale of woe he must get a
sympathetic hearing, and then if he
has been wrong all the time, and his I
injury is but fancied, the chaplain
must knowr enough of military law and
military regulations to tell him defi
nitely just how and why what was
done to Bill was the right thing.
Therefore the school for chaplains
bears down hard on instruction in
military law and the army regula
tions.
u uni is in tne ngnt tne chaplain,:
if he is politic, will not tell Bill so,
but will suggest that he see him
again. In the meantime the chaplain;
has seen his commanding officer and:
asked that such unintentional injus-{
tice as may have been done be recti-j
fled before Bill comes back. How it
was done Bill may never exactly;
know, but if the chaplain had lacked!
the knowledge of just how to go about,
the thing the injustice under which j
he suffered might have gone uncor-i
rected.
In the words of one of the instruc-j
tors at the school, this is not in
tended to make of the chaplain a
“guard-house lawyer,” but merely to
fit him to give intelligent advicfe to
soldiers.
If the men in the army are to look
up to a chaplain it is necessary that
he have their confidence to the small
est detail. And as the men of the
National army are rapidly becoming
experts, there must be no risk of their
coming to regard the chaplain with
the half-contemptuous amusement the
experts feel for an amateur, because
of any lack of knowledge of military
custom on the chaplain’s part. For
this reason great attention is paid
also to instruction in military eti
quette.
The chaplains' class is also taught1
the very highest of high spots in in
ternational law. In addition there is
instruction in equitation, in the care
of person and clothing in the field,
for the chaplain follows the men with
whom he serves into the trenches,
and may frequently “go over the top",
with them. If not he will be found
assisting in the care of wounded men
on the field under fire. Under such
conditions he, like every one else con
nected with an army in the field, must;
shift for himself and must know how.
While attending the school for chap
lains the students are quartered in
barracks originally built for enlisted
men; they get “government straight”!
to eat three times a day, and they
wash up the mess kits from which
they eat, just as would any enlisted'
man. In addition they sleep on the
same straw-filled mattresses to be1
found on the beds of enlisted men.
In this way they are learning some
thing of the conditions under which
an enlisted man lives and works, and
most of them are finding the experi
ences really enjoyable. Their atti
tude is summarized in the answer to a
query given by one of them, who
said:
“Oh, boy! This bunch of preachers
never knew how good real food could
taste or how soft a straw tick could
be until they started putting us
through this course of sproqts eleven
and one-half hours every day.”
The school is in charge of Major
A. A. Pruden, a regular army chap
lain, and he is assisted by four in
structors, all drawn from the regular
army.
