The following article appeared in the Peoria Journal March 23, 19183 Bradley Institutes War Contribution R.XlJl,lfY l'olytcchnic lnstitute, its director, faculty and trustees, are to be congratulated upon the announcement that the government has accepted the otlcr of the institute to train soldiers here for special technical work. llradley Institute has been recognized for a inunber of years as an insti- tution well equipped by organization. teclmical instructors, excellent material equipment and a spirit of service to teach special courses, Nu institute of its kind has a better reputation for actual results. 'lihe spirit of its founder has been continued and not only l'eoria has benefited through the work ol this college, which has specialized in the teaching of practical branches of art and science, but through the many students who have gone out to our own various states and many foreign countries the benehts have spread over a wide held. According to the meager announcements which have been made, the Bradley organization and equipment will be used by the government to instruct specially selected soldiers in technical work. Most of the instruction will be given in the horological and optical departments and will result in titting the special soldiers for work in handling delicate machinery parts and for ordnance and gauge work. Uther work will be given in the machine shop, and in blacksmith, gunsmith and carpentry trades. l'eoria will welcome the arrival of the tirst contingent of soldiers for work in llradley lnstitutc. And l'eoria will oller congratulations to those who govern the destinies of the l'eoria institution because they have been willing and able to give to the government during these critical times an opportunity to train soldiers in one of the most vital branches of the war work. lIradley's contribution to the war was already great before the government accepted the offer of the institute. Scores of specially trained llradley graduates are now in the war service, giving of their time and skill and training to aid the work of the war administration. This added contribution will be of even greater value. The example of Bradley is an example of practical patriotism. And it emphasizes the fact that an institution, like an individual, can be of vital aid by developing genuine ethciency and thoroughness. l3radley's war contribution could not have materialized if the institution on the Vllest llluff had not gone about its special business systematically, thoroughly, and seriously and if it had not developed in normal peace times the organization and equipment which is now needed so vitally for War purposes. Peoria's pride in Bradley Institute is even greater than it has been in thc past. 13
