[BY A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.)
The Govermuncht is on the point of allocating a sum of six million pounds to a branch of reconstruction which is very little known to the general public.
This sum of money has been earned for the educated men of our Armies by oue who in the early days of the war was himself a soldier. He went from soldier- ing
to the Ministry of Munitions, doing magnificent service first in the branch of small arms ammunition, and afterwards; in gun ammunition; from the Ministry om Munitions he went to the Ministry of Labour, and there created, by his intenso enthusiasm and by the power of a singularly thorough brain, a branch of reconstruction statesmanship known as the Appointments Departments,
I believe he began with a staff of one typist, and with a bathroom for an office. I know that he encountered dif ficulties and opposition enough to break an iron will. And here he is, as n reward of his endurance, bis courage, and hi wisdom, the recipient of £8,000,000 from the Government for a scheme which ig dearer to him than life.
This able and devoted servant of the public is Mr. Charles Home McCall, and his work is to prepare officers, war rant officers, and the better educated men of our Armies for the industrial activity which alone enn save our nation from bankruptcy.
