A survey of all personnel was made during November to provide a basis for planning the educational program to be put into effect upon the cessation of hostilities in Europe. Everyone filled out a questionnaire in which they listed their previous education and indicated what subjects they would like to study. Most of them said that they would like to study something and the choice of subject was primarily technical and vocational. Comparatively few wish to study History, Literature, or languages. Most are interested in something like automechanics, which probably indicates that many are beginning to think of the problem of earning a living after the war.

All officers have been questioned as to whether they wish to stay in the Army or the Reserve Corps, after the war and a rather large number said that they did. This is surprising, in view of the amount of complaining one hears, and is probably another indication of concern for the problem of making a living in the post-war world.

It is now the policy for the Commanding Officer to hold a staff meeting on the 27th of each month. It used to be held every two weeks. It is attended by thirty-three officers.

A new method of considering promotions for officers has been put into effect. On the first and the last Wednesdays of each month, Colonel Overing, Colonel Cobb, Major Uhle, and the Squadron Commanders hold a meeting on this question. It was decided that the former system was too hit-and-miss. A board to consider promotions for enlisted men meets on the 25th of each month. It is composed of Colonel Cobb, Major Griesbach, and Major Handley. They call in the Squadron Commander involved.
