- Description:
- The document discusses the importance of providing educational opportunities for soldiers in the Navy, particularly those who enlisted at a young age and did not complete their high school education. The idea of offering courses in various subjects during their service period is considered beneficial for their morale and future opportunities. The document also mentions the feasibility of providing instructors for such courses and suggests the possibility of offering correspondence courses with financial assistance from the government. The document urges for collaboration in looking after the welfare of sailors and includes a newspaper clipping about a congressman's suggestion for educational programs for soldiers in the army of occupation.
