 UNIVERSITY SERVICE= 
 
 The purpose of printing the description of the organization and work of 
 tlie Speakers' Bureau of tlie State Council of Defense is not only to furnish 
 a record of one phase of the war-time service of Indiana University, but 
 also to present in some detail the aims, function, and result of the Speak- 
 ers' Bureau as an illustration of the lecture service as it may be developed 
 by university extension. The record of the Speakers' Bureau during the 
 war is valuable historically in that it gives concrete evidence of the adap- 
 tability of the state university to a national emergency, and throws light 
 as well on the signilicance of education in a democracy confronted by war. 
 For both the spirit and the system of education stood the nation in good 
 stead. 
 
 The adoption of large-scale methods of adult education, in the limited 
 sense of instructing and training the mind, the emotions, and the will of 
 the people for a definite task, was an outstanding feature of American par- 
 ticipation in the war. What was the need for and the measurable result of 
 the effort of propaganda is. an interesting question which admits of various 
 estimates, but the fact that tremendous effort was expended is significant 
 in itself. Everywhere in the United States there was recognized an imper- 
 ative necessity to enlighten, organize, and unify public opinion in support of 
 the war, and the task was freely assumed by the citizenship not under 
 compulsion by the war government. The American people were caught 
 and held by the grip of ideas and ideals and were eager to be taught 
 the way of their realization. And they were eager, too, to cooperate in the 
 teaching, to put their knowledge and understanding before their fellows 
 in the confident expectation of agreement and concerted action. Adult 
 education in the issues of tlie war, a propaganda of the people, was a 
 remarkable fact in 1918. A basis of estimate of the nature and scope of 
 one small portion of the activities involvetl in that educational mobilization 
 is afforded by the description of the Indiana Speakers' Bureau. 
 
 The lecture service of university extension is thrown into relief by 
 the light of the war-time experience. The lec-ture was the earliest form of 
 adult education thru university extension and remains a characteristic 
 device. Its importance should not be underestimated. As the public 
 address served a war purpose, so also it educates the community in peace. 
 But there is a difference : the demand for lectures to aid in the solution 
 
 ^Acknowledgment is due members of the Extension Division Staff of Indiana 
 University and to Miss Edith M. Evans, who was secretary of the Bureau from 
 September, 1917, to the close of the war, for lielpful criticisms and suggestions.

 of war problems was met generously ; the demand for lectures to aid in 
 solving peace problems is not met adequately. The people desire instruction 
 and inspiration in the problems of normal community living, they want 
 authoritative guidance in piiblic policy. Such instruction and guidance is 
 the aim of the lecture ser^ace of university extension. That aim is only 
 partially realized because of many factors, such as the comparative novelty 
 of adult education, the dilBculty of developing the right kind of instruc- 
 tional personnel, the poverty of financial resources, the inadequacy of 
 community organization. But the example of the wai'-time drives, with 
 the utilization of public address as a prime essential of the campaigns, 
 has given a new aitpreciation of the power of the speaker. The facts 
 Ibat oratory n)ay be overdone, that the popular lecture may be barren of 
 result, that too much public speaking even on vital issues causes reaction, 
 merely serve as criteria of failure in method, not in the principle of oral 
 instruction from the platform. The public lecturer who is properly qual- 
 itied and who has the right kind of institutional backing which a university 
 should furnish is increasingly essential to the development of the systems 
 of adult education which are now expanding rapidly in every democratic 
 country. 
 
 The same driving force and power of the speaker for martial patriotism 
 must be employed to produce an informed civic spirit competent to meet 
 the problems of peace. For the war on disease the nation needs physi- 
 sicians who can instruct and inspire the people. For the war on poverty, 
 crime, degradation, the people require instruction from men who know. 
 For every social ill there should be speakers who can persuade and 
 direct the common will. And the people want the inspiration of art and 
 culture from men and women who can speak with vision and sound under- 
 standing. 
 
 What the speakers' Imreaus did during the war for a single definite 
 end, the lecture bureaus of the universities and other educational institu- 
 tions are now doing for many aims and purposes. A widey use of the 
 resources available for pul)lic address and more concerted effort to present 
 common problems from the platform and in the open forum are the chief 
 tasks in the development of the lecture service. Instructors of the public, 
 teachers of the people, able speakers on the common problems that face 
 the nation, are essential to dynamic citizenship in the republic. 
 
 NECESSITY FOR SPEAKERS 
 
 Before the entry of the United States into the war in April, 1917, there 
 had been a studied effort on the part of public officials, most of the edu- 
 cators, ministers, editors, and other prominent leaders of the United 
 States to keep the people of the country neutral both in thought and action. 
 
 Early in August, 1914. President Wilson issued a statement to the people 
 in which he made an earnest plea for this type of neutrality. His appeal 
 met with the decided approval of a majority of the citizens of the United 
 States. It is true that the majority of the American people from the be- 
 ginning of the contest were favorable to the cause of the Allies, but their 
 abhorrence of war dictated that their conduct, whatever their thoughts, 
 should be neutral. 
 
6 Bulletin op the Extension Division 
 
 Tho iircsidciitiiil t'loctioii of 1!»1G resulted in a vietory for the Deuuicratic 
 party largely because of the popularity of the president, due, in no small 
 measure, to a recognition of the fact that he had "kept us out of 
 war". The Republican party, during the campaign of 191G, did not assail 
 the wisdom of this action. Both parties^ had properly judged public 
 opinion in that year. It was clear that the majority of the American 
 people earnestly hoped that war might be avoided. 
 
 When changed conditions arose early in 1917, when the time had come 
 "to conquer or submit"' and the inevitable declaration of war was ap- 
 proved by the Congress on April G, it was evident that tlu-re was an lu-gent 
 need of education among the masses of our people everywhere in order 
 that they might be turned from their belief that war was to be avoided 
 at almost an.v cost. It is true that the patriotism of the people could 
 be trusted to solve this problem as soon as the gravity of the situation 
 was realized, but it was essential that this result be hastened. 
 
 There were many new problems now facing the government and the 
 people. This was a war the magnitude of which had never before been 
 equaled. It was not a war of armies but of nations, and in order to \^dn 
 it was necessary to "speak, work, and act together". 
 
 Many policies new to the American people were necessary if adequate 
 force was to be thrown into the European conflict to give the Prussian 
 military machine the defeat that was necessary to make the world free. 
 A monster army of trained soldiers had to be I'aised, an iinprecedented 
 food supply produced and saved, tons of munitions and new iiastruments 
 of war manufactured, billions of dollars saved and lent to the government, 
 and luxuries restricted in order that the necessities of war might be 
 supplied. 
 
 America was a highly individualistic nation. jNIillionaires and laborers 
 alike had always resented government interference and control that affected 
 their private and personal conduct, (icrmany's claim that a democracy, 
 because of lack of imity in thought and action, would fail in an emergency 
 seemed well founded. 
 
 This was the danger that confronted America at the beginning of the war. 
 The government realized the danger, and early in ithe summer set up 
 n\achinery to mobilize the minds of the American i)eople for the great 
 struggle. It was clear that this could be done only by educating them to 
 the necessity for liacking up the government of state and nation in all war 
 measures. Tlie Committee on Public Information was established in June. 
 The co()peration of the patriotic press of the country was at once obtained 
 and the campaign began with the circulation of war propaganda thruout 
 the coimtry on a large scale. 
 
 ' The Republican national platform criticised the administration for its failure 
 to defend American rights, but declared for neutrality as follows : "We desire 
 peace, the peace of justice and right, and believe in maintainuig a straight and 
 honest neutrality between the belligerents in the great war in Europe." 
 
 The Democratic national platform declared : "The Democratic administration 
 has throughout the present war scrupulously and successfully held to the old paths 
 of neutrality, and to the pursuit of the legitimate objects of our national life which 
 statesmen of all parties and creeds have prescribed for themselves in America since 
 the beginning of history."

 Altlio tlio i)<)\vor of tlio press in iiioldiiii; piiljlic opinion for tiu* snc- 
 rossful prosecution of the war was enormous and absolutely indispensaltle, 
 it was evident from tlie start tliat tliere were many citizens who '-onld 
 not be successfully influenced or even readied tbi-u this aK«>ncy. 
 
 The Indiana State Council of Defense was appointed by llie (Jovcrnor 
 in June a short time after the appointment of an educational conunitfee* 
 for the purpose of utilizing the educational resources of the state for war 
 worlv. This Council immediately organized and began devising ways and 
 means of mobilizing the entire state for supporting the federal and the 
 state governments in every war effort. 
 
 As the state legislature had closed its session just before the declaration 
 of war it was not possible, without a special session, for the State Council 
 of Defense to have an appropriation with which to cari*y on its work. No 
 special session was called. Financial support was necessary if an effective 
 speaking compaign was to be carried on in the state. Volunteer speakers 
 could be secured but it was not possible for any large number of them to 
 pay their own traveling expenses. In addition, an effective administrative 
 organization was a necessity. 
 
 ORGANIZATION 
 
 For several years Indiana TJnivei-sity had maintained, thru its Extension 
 Division, a bureau which furnished educational lectures for schools, 
 churches, clubs, institutes, and otluer organizations desiring such service. 
 Immediately after the declaration of war the University enlarged the scope 
 of its public lecture service to provide speakers on war topics to any organ- 
 ization in Indiana which might ask for patriotic addresses. Many speakers, 
 recruited largel.v from educational institutions, were scheduled for ad- 
 dresses in all parts of the state during the spring and early summer. 
 Systematic effort was made to send speakers on war problems to the county 
 teachers' institutes held in every county during the summer. 
 
 One of the first recommendations of the Educational Section^ of the 
 State Council of Defense was that qualified speakers should be available 
 for addressing audiences in every community in order to assist in mobilizing 
 public opinion in support of the government's war policies. Many speakers 
 were sent out under the auspices of the Educational Section cooperating 
 with the Extension Division of the University. 
 
 President William Lowe Bryan had, at the beginning of the war, tendered 
 all the resources of the University to President Wilson and Governor Good- 
 rich for any work they might desire it to do. There was now an oppor- 
 tunity for the Extension Division to assume an additional responsibility in 
 providing speakers for war work. 
 
 Chairman Will H. Hays, of the State Council of Defense, and President 
 Bryan in August, 1917, agreed on a plan wherein it was provided that 
 the Extension Division of Indiana Iiniversity should take chai-ge of the 
 organization and maintenance of a Speakers' Bureau for the State Council. 
 
 ' See iia«:o 22 lor the Governor's i)rocl;iiiifitioii cjillin;; for ;i ineefiiiu of tlu? educa- 
 tional forces of the state. The educational committee grew out of this meeting. 
 
 " The educational committee previously mentioned was recognized as the Bduca- 
 lioiial Section of the State Council of Defeuse when the Council was created by the 
 Governor. 
 
8 Bulletin op the Extension Division 
 
 The University was to give financial aid by furnishing tlie personnel of the 
 Bureau, including the Director and the stenographic help necessary, while 
 the State Council would furnish the office, telephone, and telegraphic ser- 
 vice, stationery, postage, and other office incidentals.' 
 
 Altho the State Council of Defense paid the traveling expenses of 
 many speakers engaged in special spealving campaigns, such as that inaug- 
 urated by the Boys' Working Reserve in its organization appeal in the 
 summer of 1917, nevertheless, it became the policy of the Council to send 
 out s'peakers with the understanding that their traveling expenses should 
 be paid by the local communities served by themJ 
 
 The Director of the Extension Division at once took up the work of or- 
 ganizing the Speakers' Bureau as one of the regular departments of the 
 State Council of DefensQ. An office was provided in the Statehouse with 
 the Council. A list of volunteer speakers representing every county in the 
 state was made up on the recommendation of the various County Councils 
 of Defense. This list, over four hiuidred in all, was supplemented by 
 various additions as speakers were recommended by the Chairman of the 
 State Council, college presidents, public officials, and private citizens who 
 were in a position to know the capable public speakers of Indiana. This 
 list of volunteers constituted the reserve force on which the Bureau de- 
 pended for its effective work thruout the war, but was especially valuable 
 during the first year when general patriotic addresses were most needed. 
 Too much commendation cannot be expressed for the loyal and unselfish 
 devotion shown by the men^ of Indiana who thus contributed their valuable 
 time without pay, and often at personal expense, for the good of the cause 
 that at that time needed their support. 
 
 AIMS AND PURPOSES 
 
 One of the first acts of the Director was to formulate the aims of the 
 Speakers' Bureau as follows : 
 
 1. To mobilize public opinion and stimulate patriotic service. 
 
 2. To increase lo«al interest in the appeals by the government and by 
 
 official and semi-official organizations for support of specific war 
 service. 
 
 3. To aid select groups of men, especially those who volunteer their ser- 
 
 vices to the Speakers' Bureau, to obtain quickly a clear and author- 
 itative comprehension of government war measures and policies, and 
 of specific social and economic problems created by the war. 
 
 4. To aid the general public in its effort to understand the measures and 
 
 policies of the government and the essential facts involved in the 
 
 problems created by the war. 
 This statement was sent to all the speakers together with a request for 
 suggestions. Tlie earnest cooperation of all was sought and secured at the 
 outset. 
 
 « See proceedings of the eighth meeting of the Council. 
 
 ^ It was understood, however, that in case the local community failed to pay the 
 speaker's expenses, the Council would do so. 
 
 8 The women were just as loyal and unselfish in their devotion to the common 
 cause. See page 11 for a discussion of their activities in patriotic speaking.

 METHODS OF SPEAKERS' BUREAU 
 
 The following outline, which was sent to speakers, chairmen of county 
 councils, and others, shows the scope of the work as originally planned : 
 
 1. To enroll selected speakers for voluntary service, 
 
 a. Public spirited men of repute and exceptional speaking ability. 
 
 &. Authorities on specific subjects such as health, labor, child welfare. 
 
 2. To supply classified printed matter to speakers for specific campaigns 
 
 and for guidance in preparing general patriotic addresses. 
 a. Government publications. 
 6. Package libraries of current literature. 
 c. Briefs and bibliographies. 
 
 3. To hold conferences of selected speakers to study in group some one 
 
 war problem. 
 a. Instruction given by specialists. 
 1). Confused ideas clarified by discussion. 
 
 4. To hold large conferences for speakers and community leaders. 
 a. Addresses by specialists on a limited number of war topics. 
 I). Round tables on state war problems. 
 
 5. To utilize the State Council of Defense organization to reach each 
 
 county and town. 
 
 a. Local committees to arrange for special meetings. 
 
 b. High School Councils of Defense to assist in securing audiences for 
 
 special community meetings and to arrange for series of educa- 
 tional war addresses. 
 
 c. Bureau field organizer to assist local committees. 
 
 G. To foster community singing as a patriotic activity and as an aid to 
 speakers. 
 «. Community music organizer. 
 6. Instruction of school teachers in community music methods. 
 
 Altho general patriotic addresses were of great value in stimulating 
 the people of Indiana to a realization of their obligation, it was clearly 
 necessary to follow some definite plan of developing the speaking cam- 
 paigns to meet the needs of the ever changing war situation. The same 
 type of speech could not remain effective as the needs of the government 
 changed with the progress of the war. 
 
 In the late fall of 1917 the Director of the Speakers' Bureau with the 
 advice and approval of the Chairman of the State Council of Defense se- 
 lected an advisory committee consisting of one representative from the 
 State Board of Education, one from the National Security League, one 
 from the League to Enforce Peace, one from the War Service Board, the 
 State Fuel Administrator, the State Food Administrator, the State Chair- 
 man of "Four-Minute" Men, the woman member of the State Council of 
 Defense, and two civilians prominent in the state.' The advice of members 
 of this committee and suggestions from the Council of National Defense 
 and other war agencies were utilized in planning all subsequent speaking 
 campaigns. 
 
 The Bureau regularly sent out statements^" calling attention of local com- 
 mittees and various officials to the types of speakers it was prepared to 
 
 " See page 37 for outline of organization and personnel of committee.

 furuisb. These letters resulted in calls from all parts of the state, especi- 
 ally for speakers on the staff for special work. After arranging elates*^ the 
 Bureau furnished the speakers complete information as to train schedule 
 to be followed, the kind of audience, and the organization and person in 
 charge. The time of arrival and necessary departure of the speakers, 
 facts as to their experience, and other helpful information available were 
 sent to the local committees. 
 
 Aids for Speakers 
 
 All speakers listed with the Bureau were supplied with the publications 
 of the Committee on Public Information. Among the best of these for the 
 use of speakers were the following: Hoiv the War Came to America, The 
 Presidents Flag Day Speech, Conquest and Ciiltur, German War Practices, 
 The War Message and the Facts Behind It, The Nation in Arms, The Oor- 
 emment of Germany, The Great War, War of Self-Dcfense, American Loy- 
 alty, The German War Code, The German Whisper, America's War Aims 
 and the Peace Program. 
 
 Many publications from other sources were used. These included many 
 universities, both state and private, the League to Enforce Peace, the 
 National Security League, the War Savings Committee, the Federal Food 
 Administration, the Federal Fuel Administration, the United States Treas- 
 ury Department, the American Red Cross, the Y.M.C.A., the American 
 Friends of German Democracy, the United States Department of I^abor, 
 and government departments engaged in war work. 
 
 The Indiana Bulletin,^'- published weekly from August 17, 1917, to No- 
 vember 17, 1918, by the State Council of Defense, was sent to all speakers. 
 This paper was very important for all war workers in Indiana. It gave an 
 account each Friday of all the activities of the State Council of Defense 
 and kept all the various county units informed as to federal and state plans. 
 It served as a war work clearing-house for Indiana. 
 
 The Bureau also used some specitic methods to keep its speakers thinking 
 progressively. In addition to sending the above-mentioned publicity as it 
 came from the various war agencies, material was prepared frequently 
 by members of the Indiana University Extension Division staflP' and sent 
 out by the Bureau. This included briefs and syllabi on the special drives 
 and campaigns as they were put on in the state. Among these briefs were 
 syllabi on the Second and Third Liberty Loans,^^ a list of (luestions'' on 
 vital war measures and peace aims, and a syllabus on Education AVeek.'" 
 
 An outline of "Topics on the Great War" was compiled from the answers 
 to a questionnaire addressed to representative men and women in all parts 
 of the United States, asking for suggestions about war problems upon 
 which the public should be informed. This outline,^" for which the Speak-

 of I'ublic Welfare Service, and to Miss Harriet N. Bireholdt, Chief of the Bureau

 ers' Bureau made acknowledj^ment to sixty-five contributors of national 
 reputation, togetlier witli a bibliograpliy of lielpful reading material, was 
 sent to every speaker on the Indiana list, to the various educational institu- 
 tions of the state, and to those wliose answers to the questionnaire had 
 aided in its formulation. It was of great value to speakers as an aid in 
 the preparation of addresses best suited to their respective inclinations and 
 training. 
 
 On account of lack of funds it was not possible to have a successful 
 special conference of the Speakers' Bureau. At the State War Conference 
 in Indianapolis, December 13 and 14, 1917, a program was prepared for the 
 Speakers' Bureau Section and the entire membership was invited to attend 
 but the number present was comparatively small. The various comity and 
 commmiity war conferences thruout the state in the winter and spring 
 of 1918, however, afforded excellent opportunity for an exchange of opin- 
 ions by all the state speakers. There was the additional advantage of per- 
 sonal touch with the fine group of out-of-state speakers, among whom were 
 many with the overseas experience for which the people were hungry at 
 that early date. 
 
 THE "FOURTEEN-MINUTE" WOMEN 
 
 The women of Indiana responded as generously to the appeal for speak- 
 ei's as did the men and all calls for women speakers were promptly filled. 
 
 In December, 1917, the "Fourteen-Minute" Women's Speakers' Bureau, as 
 a coordinate organization, was created by the Woman's Section of the 
 State Council of Defense, with the approval of the State Chaii-mau. It 
 was placed under the direction of Mrs. Julia C. Henderson, who assigned 
 all women speakers of Indiana after this date. Mrs. Henderson's force 
 of speakers was well chosen and efficiently directed. A woman speaker 
 was assigned to each of the county war conferences and community confer- 
 ences, and, in spite of all difficulties due to bad weather conditions and 
 almost impossible train schedules, the engagements were filled. This 
 promptness and reliability was a characteristic of the Woman's Bureau 
 thruout the war. 
 
 Tlie cooperation of the "Fourteen-Minute" Women of Indiana was at all 
 times of very great value. As they conducted their own speaking campaign, 
 no attempt has been made here to list their speakers or to refer in detail to 
 the work which they did. However, it must be said that they never failed 
 to do more than their share. Too much credit cannot be bestowed upon 
 them either for their patriotic zeal, or for their systematic and effective 
 work that aided so materially in placing Indiana in the front rank among 
 the forty-eight patriotic states. 
 
 EDUCATIONAL SECTION OF THE STATE COUNCIL 
 
 The Committee for the Mobilization of the Educational Forces of Indiana 
 was appointed by Dr. Horace Ellis, State Superintendent of Public In- 
 struction, at the state meeting of educators in Indianapolis May o, 1917.'* 
 
 " For personnel of Eihioational Section see page 31. 
 
12 Bulletin op the Extension Division 
 
 This committee set to work at once to fonuulate a plan for wav service 
 in the schools of Indiana. Good progress was made and before the close 
 of all the schools that year a very helpful program was suggested in an 
 outline that was mimeographed and sent out to all the superintendents and 
 principals in Indiana. It was entitled "A Service for Everyone, Everyone 
 for Service", and it suggested lines of work for all types of schools includ- 
 ing elementary schools, high schools, and colleges. Considering the early 
 date at which this program was prepared, it was a fine piece of work which 
 represented a consensus of opinion of the members of the committee and 
 also contributions from many practical school men of the state who had 
 already interested their schools in helpful forms of war service. 
 
 At the opening of the school year 1917-18 the committee, now officially 
 organized as the Educational Section of the State Council of Defense, rec- 
 ognized that it faced a twofold problem. The schools of Indiana were 
 being urged by a multiplicity of organizations, both public and private, to 
 engage in various forms of war work. Most of these organizations were 
 worthy, but it was clear that there was need of some kind of systematic 
 control of war work in the schools or the necessary educational programs 
 would be seriously disrupted and a minimum of progress would result. 
 
 The problem at hand was the formulation of a plan that would make 
 possible the cooperation of students in war service without serious dis- 
 ruption of their essential school studies. The Educational Section selected 
 a Committee on approval'^ which operated as a clearing-house on matters 
 pertaining to such war work. 
 
 This committee, with the endorsement of the Educational Section, worked 
 out a plan for the organization of the high schools into a Patriotic Sei'vice 
 League consisting of High School Councils of Defense. Provision was 
 made, in a suggested fonn, for a constitution and by-laws, and for com- 
 mittees of teachers and students working together to study their own prob- 
 lems in relation to their war duties. These High School Councils were 
 democratic in organization and operation. 
 
 The high schools that adopted this plan or a similar kind of organization 
 for war work cooperated with the Speakers' Bureau of the State Council 
 in arranging patriotic programs during the winter and spring of the year 
 1917-18.^° 
 
 SCHOOLS FOR TELEGRAPHERS 
 
 The War Department's request in September, 1918, that the State Council 
 of Defense assume the task of training Indiana's quota of nine hvmdred 
 radio operators from the drafted men who had not yet been called into 
 military service was referred to the Educational Section. The task of 
 supplying this training was taken up with the superintendents and prin- 
 cipals and the presidents of colleges and normal schools of the state, and

 THE AMERICAN FRIENDS! OF GERMAN DEMOCRACY 
 
 The Committee on Public Information, with the approval of President 
 Wilson, indorsed the work of patriotic Americans of German ancestry 
 who endeavored to organize their fellow Americans in war work. This 
 oi-ganization sent to Indiana, early in March, 1918, Dr. William E. Bohn, 
 for whom the Speakers' Bureau arranged meetings at Purdue University. 
 Lafayette, and in Indianapolis, Sellersburg, New Albany, Huntington. 
 Michigan City, Ft. Wayne, Bremen, and South Bend. 
 
 At the Indianapolis meeting an Indiana Branch organization was effected. 
 Dr. Carl G. Winter was elected president: Henry Iliesenberg. vice-president; 
 Mrs. Robert Miller, wdio was later succeeded by Albert Sahm, treasurer; 
 and George S. Schauer, secretary. Mr. Schauer gave a great deal of atten- 
 tion, thruout the summer of 1918, to the organization of the entire state. 
 Local committees were chosen and a state-wide itinerary was arranged for 
 Dr. Maximilian P. Groszmann, of New Jersey, who came to Indiana early 
 in October for a month's speaking campaign. Unfortunately, the influenza "^ 
 epidemic made necessary the cancellation of his entire schedide with the ex- 
 ception of his initial meeting October 5, in Indianapolis. 
 
 The American Friends of German Democracy also fui'nished some valu- 
 able publicity material which was given a wide circulation in this state 
 among citizens of German ancestry. It included two excellent bulletins. 
 A Plea for German- American Unity and Democracy the Heritage of All 
 written by Mr. Richard Lieber, of Indianapolis. The cooperation of this 
 loyal and energetic organization was an effective aid to the State Council 
 of Defense in Indiana. 
 
 THE "FOUR-MINUTE" MEN 
 
 The "Four-Minute" Men were able assistants in speaking campaigns diu-- 
 ing the war. They were particularly well adapted to fit into crowded pro- 
 grams of conventions and business associations to give an effective war 
 talk at any time desired. Their addresses before theater audiences con- 
 stituted their principal work, but their organization w-as always ready to 
 cociperate with the Speakers' Bureau of the State Cx)uncil of Defense. 
 
 Mr. Philip T. White was chairman of the Indiana "Four-Minute" ]\Ien 
 from the date of their organization until he left the state to accept a supei-- 
 intendency of a division in the office of the Director-General of Railroads. 
 After Mr. White's resignation, the work of the State Director was carried 
 on by Mr. C. R. Eggleston, chairman of Indianapolis "Four-Minute" Men, 
 aided by Miss Ida Drosdowitz, until the appointment in October of Robert 
 E. Cavanaugh as State Director. Until this date the clerical expense of 
 the office was borne by the State Council of Defense. It now became a 
 regular part of the work of the Speakers' Bureau and was financed ac- 
 cordingly, with the exception, of course, that the franking privilege was 
 granted for the work of the "Four-Minute" Men,

 The reorganiziitioii of the Indiana "Fonr-Minnte" Men was under way 
 when the close of the war early in Novenil)er, 191S, brought their work 
 virtually to a close. The entire force in state and nation was mustered out 
 of service on December 24. Certificates of honor with an expression of 
 appreciation for services rendered were mailed to all workers early in lOlfl. 
 
 "THE BLTJE DEVILS OF FRANCE" 
 
 Thru the courtesy of the Speaking Division of the Committee on Public 
 Information, Indiana secured a visit of a gi'oup of Alpine Chasseurs whose 
 deeds of heroism in fighting the Germans had thrilled the people of all the 
 Allied countries. This interesting company of nearly a hundred men, fully 
 equipped, paraded with our own soldiers on Decoration Day in Indianapolis 
 and took part in a program at Tomlinson Hall. 
 
 On the following day they paid a visit to Terre Haute where they were 
 the recipients of many honors at the hands of the people of that city, in- 
 cluding a brief patriotic program on the front lawn of the Indiana State 
 Normal School and an automobile ride to Fort Harrison. Following these 
 two engagements the "Blue Devils" rested at Fort Benjamin Harrison for 
 three days before continuing on their tour of American cities, which they 
 pronounced more strenuous than the trench warfare to which they were 
 so accustomed in their native country. 
 
 THE ALLIED AVIATORS 
 
 Indianapolis was honored with a visit from the British aviators, headed 
 by Brigadier-General Charles F. Lee, and an accompanying group of 
 American fliers commanded by Major Rhinehart. These air men spent 
 two days, August 22 and 23, 1918, in Indianapolis, and gave exhibition 
 flights above a great throng of Indiana citizens at Riverside Park on the 
 last day of their stay. 
 
 Both the "Blue Devils" and the aviators were guests of the Indianapolis 
 Chamber of Commerce while in the city. 
 
 ORGANIZATIONS SERVED 
 
 The purpose of the Council in sanctioning the Bureau's work was to 
 create an agency to cooperate with the County Councils of Defense in each 
 of the ninety-two counties of the state. This cooperation was, of course, 
 ofl:ered and most generally accepted. Much of the Bureau's correspondence 
 was with the County Councils whose chairman and secretaries frequently 
 called for speakers. 
 
 In addition, however, it became just as necessary to serve all the other 
 official and also the semi-public and even private agencies engaged in patri- 
 otic work. The organizations representing the Liberty Loan, the V^'^ar 
 Savings Committee, the Red Cross, the U.S. Boys' Working Reserve, 
 the Young Men's Christian Association, the Knights of Columbus, fre- 
 quently called for speakers. Other groups of patriotic workers to whom 
 speakers were sent included chambers of commerce, factories, schools and 
 colleges, churches, fraternities, labor unions, lodges, athletic organizations,

 veiitioiis of ail kinds. 
 
 Factories, especially those engaged in war work, began to feel the need 
 of speakers who would stimulate the interest and consequently increase 
 the pi'oductiveness of their employees by giving them inspiring talks. 
 Many of these applied to the Bureau for help. The Warner Gear Company, 
 of Muneie, Ind., began in the latter part of January, 1918, to arrange for 
 a speaker to visit the three factories each Thursday, at noon and mid- 
 night, to talk to the workers. They found the plan so successful that they 
 continued to use speakers supplied by the Bureau in this way luitil the 
 signing of the armistice. 
 
 ACTIVITIES OF SPEAKERS 
 
 General Activities. The work of the speakers who were sent to every 
 part of the state was the most important phase of the propaganda work 
 of the Bureau. From the time when the United States entered the war 
 in April, 1917, until the signing of the armistice in November, 1918, and 
 even later, speakers were available for a discussion of all kinds of prob- 
 lems relating to the war. 
 
 Liberty Loans. While the Liberty Loan drives were being held, the 
 Speakers' Bureau was frequently called upon to help the state and local 
 Liberty Loan Speakers' Bureaus in filling engagements. In November, 
 1917, during the period of the Second Loan drive, thirty-nine dates were 
 thus filled, many of them at the last moment, after a speaker engaged 
 for a particular date had signified his inability to fill it. From April 6 
 to May 4, 1918, the period of the Third Liberty Loan drive, the Speakers' 
 Bureau filled forty dates at the request of the state loan organization, or 
 upon application from local organizations. During the period of the 
 Fourth Loan drive, from September 25 to October 18, 1918, twenty-nine 
 dates were filled. Many others for which arrangements had been made 
 were cancelled because of the influenza epidemic. The Bureau had ceased 
 its work before the Victory Liberty Loan of April, 1919. 
 
 State-Wide Conference. A state-wide war conference, to which were in- 
 vited officials and members of county councils of defense and other 
 patriotic organizations, was held in Indianapolis on December 13 and 14, 
 1917. At the general meetings, held in the afternoon and evening, on 
 December 13, and at which Governor Goodrich presided, the speakers 
 were Hon. Medill McCormick, congressman from Illinois, just returned 
 from a two months' trip to France and along the battle front; Bishop 
 Charles D. Williams of Detroit, who had also just returned from Europe, 
 where he was sent by the Red Cross; Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of 
 Leland Stanford University, chief of conservation work of the U.S. 
 Food Administration; and Lieutenant Paul Perigord of the French army. 
 
 Sectional meetings were held on Friday, December 14, for the following 
 divisions: County Councils, Community War Service Board, Educational 
 Section, Fraternal Orders Section, Fuel Conservation, Medical Section, 
 Military Affairs, War Savings Stamps, Public Morals, U.S. Public Ser-

 vice Reserve, Publicity, Red Cross, Speakers' Bureau, Woman's Section, 
 U.S. Boys' Working Reserve, Food Pi-oduction and Conservation. 
 
 County and Community War Conferences. The Chairman of the State 
 Council of Defense, immediately after the state-wide war conference held 
 in Indianapolis, December 13 and 14, 1917, recommended that county war 
 conferences be held thruout Indiana. The plan was approved by the 
 Council and the county conferences'^ were held during the last week in 
 January and the first two weeks in February, 1918. To the Speakers' 
 Bureau" was assigned the work of dating the conferences, securing 
 speakers, preparing itineraries, and directing the making of programs."" 
 
 These conferences, altho they did not accomplish all that was desired, 
 were a decided success. In spite of bad weather, which included some 
 of the coldest and worst in that memorable winter with its shortage 
 of coal, the attendance at all of the meetings was excellent and at many 
 remarkably large. 
 
 The people of Indiana in general gained just what the war workers 
 did when they attended the state-wide meeting in December. They were 
 inspired and encouraged to put increased effort into the various fields of 
 their war work. The lines of work represented by speakers were: pro- 
 duction and conservation of food. Red Cross, Boys' Working Reserve, the 
 Y.M.C.A., war work of women, and w^ar work of schools. 
 
 For the pui-pose of organizing school war work, speakers were sent 
 to all the conferences. Purdue University, Indiana University, and the 
 State Normal School furnished Professors Mark H. Liddell, William W. 
 Black, and Frank S. Bogardus, respectively, for the entire period of the 
 county meetings. Additional educators volunteered their services and 
 were assigned during this special campaign. 
 
 Those who attended the meetings received valuable assistance in or- 
 ganization work. This was one of the important factors emphasized by 
 the Speakers' Bureau in its instructions to its field representatives, 
 speakers, and local chairmen and committees. Patriotism and enthusiasm 
 were essential attributes for war workers, but so also were precision 
 and system if the best results were to be secured. 
 
 In addition to excellent speakers and workers from among the best in 
 Indiana, the county war conferences were attended by speakers of national 
 reputation sent by the United States Food Administration, the Committee 
 on Public Information, the League to Enforce Peace, and the British 
 Recruiting offices at Chicago and Toronto. Most of these men had visited 
 the war zone and some were soldiers with interesting war experience. 
 
 The Food Administration sent President R. L. Wilbur, Julius Lincoln, 
 i]dward Trefz, Evei'ett Colby, W. J. McGlothlin, Alexander Cairns, and 
 John Rutledge. The Committee on Public Information sent Lieutenant 
 
 ^ Couferences were not helil in all the counties. Some had already had patriotic 
 meetings of a similar Ivind. There were conferences, however, in eighty-three counties 
 of the state at this time. 
 
 ~ The Boys' Working Reserve, the Y.M.C.A., and the Woman's Department, how- 
 ever, with the approval of the Chairman of the State Council, made their own 
 assignment of speakers for these conferences. 
 
 -^ See page 32 for a copy of instructions and form program sent out to each 
 county organization to aid in arranging for its conference.

 Hector MacQuarrie. Di-. Lyman P. Powell represented the League to 
 Enforce Peace. From the British Recruiting office came Majors W. G. 
 Hyde, and W. C. Gidley, and Lieutenant W. G. Masson. 
 
 At the conclusion of the county war conference campaign there came 
 a number of requests for community conferences patterned after the 
 county meetings. The Speakers' Bureau responded to these local calls 
 and arranged one-day conferences in eighteen towns. Speakers were 
 sent out on circuits to assist whatever local talent the different com- 
 mittees desired to use. 
 
 Special speakers brought into the state for these community confer- 
 ences included Mrs. Ida McGlone Gibson, representing the Red Cross, 
 Major Craig Wright and Captain D. H. Blake, of the British Ai-my, and 
 Dr. Henry Coe Culbertson, sent by the Committee on Public Information. 
 All these speakers had had overseas experience and their talks were 
 messages of vital importance to the people at that time. 
 
 Education Week, April 22-26, 1918. The State Board of Education 
 requested Mr. Ralph V. Sollitt, Alumni Secretary of Indiana University, 
 and acting chairman of its executive committee for the Education Week 
 Campaign in cooperation with the Speakers' Bvireau of the State Council 
 of Defense, to send speakers to as many of the high schools of the state 
 as it was possible to reach during the week of April 22-26, to urge high 
 school boys and girls to remain in school. 
 
 Governor James P. Goodrich issued a proclamation in which he paid 
 tribute to the contribution of the schools of the state in "every appeal 
 for the alleviation of suffering and for the perpetuation and extension of 
 the principles of liberty". The proclamation closed with the request 
 that "young people of school age, but too young for active service in the 
 army and navy, may be impelled to continue their education". Hon. M. E. 
 Foley, Chairman of the State Council of Defense, added a letter of hearty 
 approval. 
 
 All the higher educational institutions of the state, including Butler 
 College, DePauw University, Earlham College, Franklin College, Hanover 
 College, Indiana University, University of Notre Dame, Oakland City 
 College, Purdue University, Valparaiso University, Wabash College, and 
 the State Normal School, at their own expense, sent members of their 
 respective faculties out as directed by the Bureau. Nearly three hundred 
 schools were visited and addressed on the importance of maintaining in- 
 terest in our schools even under the stress of war when lessons vital to 
 community and national life wei^e likely to be temporarily forgotten. 
 
 A syllabus as an aid to speakers was prepared and sent to each man 
 who went out to address the high school boys and girls. It contained the 
 Governor's proclamation and the State Chairman's letter^ approving 
 the plan for Education Week, extracts from the President's addresses 
 urging boys and girls to stay in school, quotations from letters and 
 speeches of many public officials and articles from papers and magazines 
 indorsing the campaign. 
 
 2* See page 32 for letter of Mr. Foley. Mr. Hays resigned as State Chairman 
 February 20, 1917, and was succeeded by Hon. Michael E. Foley on March 20. 
 
18 Bulletin of the Extension Division 
 
 The speakers who engaged in this work not only spoke on the import- 
 ance of continuing in school, but they urged boys and girls everywhere 
 to add their strength to the concerted efforts of all citizens in the imme- 
 diate task of the nation — the winning of the war. 
 
 Red Cross Second War Fund Drive. The assignment of speakers for 
 the American Red Cross during its second war fund drive in May, 1918, 
 was entrusted to the Speakers' Bureau of the State Council of Defense."^ 
 
 In addition to. the men already listed with the Bureau, a number of 
 speakers were sent to the state for this special campaign. 
 
 The Lake Division of the Red Cross sent Privates Button, Maunders, 
 and Pierce, wounded soldiers of the Canadian army. Lieutenant Robert 
 Renard, of the French Army, Congressman C. C. Dill, of Oregon, Dr. A. 
 W. Wishart, of Grand Rapids, Mich., and Miss Kathleen Burke, all with 
 overseas experience. The Speaking Division of the Committee on Public 
 Information scheduled Privates Harry Novak, Schuyler C. Mowrer,"" 
 and Louis P. Bonee from the list of fifty soldiers sent to the United 
 States by General Pershing to tell the American people about the partici- 
 pation of the American Expeditionary Forces in the Great War. In ad- 
 dition. Lieutenant Harry Lait, and Privates Thomas C. Henry and Harry 
 Wickey, returned Canadian soldiers, contributed their services for the 
 drive. 
 
 War Savings Committee. The War Savings Committee,'^ with its 
 headquarters at South Bend, frequently asked the Speakers' Bureau for 
 assistance during its campaigns. Dr. Thomas E. T. Staton, a returned 
 Canadian soldier and one of the Bureau's valued workers, assisted the 
 committee in many of its special drives. Other special speakers sent at 
 the request of the committee were: Private Schuyler C. Mowrer and 
 Private Harry Novak of the American Expeditionary Forces, and Pri- 
 vates Frank Woodgate and Harry Wickey of the Canadian army. Special 
 addresses on Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps were also provided 
 for on the programs of all the county war conferences. The War Savings 
 Committee often assisted the Speakers' Bureau in filling engagements, 
 especially in the northern part of the state. 
 
 County Teachers' Institutes and Fairs. Recognizing the importance of 
 the public schools as a powerful agency in shaping public opinion, a 
 letter"^ was sent to all the county superintendents in Indiana in June, 
 1918, suggesting that the State Council of Defense be allowed a place on 
 their county institute program for a talk on the war. As the teacher's 
 institutes and fairs were held simultaneously, a similar letter was sent 
 to the various fair associations of the state. It was explained that the 
 speakers, who would have a message worth while, were to be sent with- 
 out charge except for local traveling expenses. 
 
 -^See page 33 for a detailed summary of speaking engagements filled by the 
 Speakers' Bureau in this campaign which resulted in a large over-subscription of 
 Indiana's quota of the $100,000,000 asked by the national organization.

 and Speakers' Bureau.

 The response coming- from county superintendents and the secretaries 
 of fair associations indicated a great deal of interest in such addresses. A 
 total of fifty-six institutes and fairs secured speakers, among whom 
 were Dr. Lyman P. Powell, Major L. Gordon Sanford, Captain Walter 
 Kilroy Harris, Private John A. Scott, Private Harry Wickey, and Mile. 
 Marie Rose Lauler, all of whom had had experience in the war zone. 
 
 After the Armistice. When the fighting ended on November 11, 1918, 
 the demand for patriotic speakers practically ceased. Many requests, 
 however, came in for men who were qualified by training or experience 
 to give addresses on questions growing out of the war. The early 
 suspension of all domestic work by the Committee on Public Information 
 seriously interfered with the supply of speakers with specific messages 
 related to such problems. Moreover, the widespi-ead epidemic of influ- 
 enza made it necessary for the State Board of Health to put a ban on 
 all public meetings for a time thruout Indiana. Satisfactory health con- 
 ditions were never fully restored during the operation of the Bureau.

 It is not possible to estimate tlie nuuiber of addresses made as speakers 
 were often called to speak a number of times before different groups. 
 Speakers were also frequently assigned to a committee for a number of 
 days. The total number of Indiana men used was 370. The number of 
 out-of-state speakers was 85. 
 
 EXPENSES OF THE BUREAU 
 The Indiana State Coimcil of Defense was without funds when it was 
 organized in June, 1917. As it could be financed only thru loans, to be 
 later approved by the state legislature, it was necessary to exercise economy 
 in expenditures. 
 
20 Bulletin of the Extension Division 
 
 State institutions and private and voluntary associations freely offered 
 their assistance in the emergency. Indiana laiiversity's resources were 
 offered to the nation and to the state for any work that might be helpful 
 or necessary. 
 
 It was agreed that one task that the University should assume was that 
 of organizing and directing the speaking division of the State Council of 
 Defense. The University agreed to furnish the personnel of the office, 
 including a director, a secretary, and the necessary stenographic help. The 
 Council agreed to furnish an office, pay all postage and telephone and tele- 
 graph expenses. The Council also agreed to pay the traveling expenses 
 of speakers whenever local committees failed to meet such engagements. 
 The total expense to the Council was not to be greater than the amount 
 expended by the University. 
 
 Indiana University Extension Division furnished a director of the Bureau 
 who devoted half time to that work from April, 1917, until May 15, 1918. 
 From December, 1917, until the close of the war-speaking campaign, an 
 assistant director gave practically full time to the work of the Bureau. 
 A secretary and a stenographer were furnished thruout the war and, in 
 addition, special help was furnished on various occasions when the work 
 was very arduous. The maintenance of the Speakers' Bureau alone cost 
 the Extension Division of the University approximately $5,500. 
 
 Different professors^ were sent out at various times to aid in speaking 
 campaigns. This represented an additional cost in both salary and travel- 
 ing expenses. 
 
 The Indiana State Normal School furnished one speaker, Professor 
 Frank S. Bogardus, who devoted his entire time during January, February, 
 and March, 1918, to organizing the high schools for war service. His ex- 
 penses Avere paid by the school during that time. 
 
 ^ One professor devoted practically all of the year 1917-lS to speaking work. 
 Part of this time was given to the Federal Food Administration.

 LETTER TO COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS OF SCHOOLS 
 
 June 26, 1918. 
 To County Superintendents of Schools : 
 
 As the Indiana Public School system is a very powerful agency for the 
 teaching of patriotism as unselfisli duty and devoted service, I am writing 
 to ask whether you desire to reserve a place on your program this year 
 for one or two speakers sent out by the State Council of Defense. 
 
 Our Speakers' Bureau, through the cooperation of the Speaking Division 
 of the Committee on Public Information at Washington, will have available, 
 during the summer, a number of returned soldiers and special lecturers, 
 some with overseas experience, who will liave a real message for the peo- 
 ple of Indiana. 
 
 These speakers can come to you for an address before your teachers and 
 citizens either during the day or evening sessions without any charge 
 except actual traveling expenses while in the state. 
 
 If this plan meets with your approval, please let us know the date of 
 your institute and your choice of the day and hour for the appearance of 
 such speakers. In arranging the schedules the Bureau will endeavor to 
 comply with your request. 
 
 Very sincerely yours, 
 
 R. E. Cavanaugh, 
 y Acting Director, Speakers" Bureau.

 LIBERTY LOAN SYLLABUS 
 
 In addition to the Liberty Loan Speakers' Handbook, published by the 
 United States Treasury Department, a syllabus on the Second and Third 
 Loans was sent to each speaker. Two himdred copies of the latter were 
 furnished the Indiana Liberty Loan Speakers' Bureau for distribution to 
 its special list of speakers. 
 
 The following is a copy of the Second Liberty I-oan syllabus : 
 
 I. Why we are in the war. 
 
 A 
 
 1. Prussia destroyed the peace of the world. 
 
 2. Germany violated intei'national law. 
 
 3. Germany attacked us on the seas. 
 
 4. She broke her agi'eement to respect neutral rights. 
 
 5. She used her agents to injure us at home while we were not at 
 
 war. 
 
 6. She attempted to align Mexico and Japan against us. 
 
 7. She has proved herself an outlaw. Her present government 
 
 cannot be trusted. 
 
 B 
 
 1. This is an era of internationalism. 
 
 2. We are responsible for the rights and wrongs of nations other 
 
 than our own. 
 
 3. We are responsible for the coming peace. 
 II. Our instruments of war. 
 
 The army, the navy, food, money. 
 III. Tlie present crisis a money crisis — the Second Liberty Loan the meas- 
 ure which will meet the crisis. 
 1. Allies need money. 
 
 * Cancelled because of the recall of Captain Harris by the British Bureau. 
 
26 Bullj:tin op the Extension Division 
 
 2. (3nr war govornment needs money. 
 
 3. Speed in the raising of the money will affect (^ermany's peace 
 
 movement. Germany is about to float another loan. Her 
 spies are watching our attempt. 
 
 4. We are committed to war. Preparation, money, will shorten 
 
 it and lessen the evils, the bloodshed, 
 
 5. (Germany is committed to war and a great subscription to our 
 
 loan will shake her determination. 
 I v. Evei\v patriot must sacrifice to help win the war. 
 
 1. We all must pay indirectly. 
 
 2. We all must save, stop waste, conserve food. 
 
 3. We must save money because it represents food, clothing, 
 
 mimitions, supplies for us and our allies. 
 V. The Liberty Loan is a war instriunent, an opportunity for sacrifice. 
 The Bond : a great investment. 
 
 1. It is for rich and poor — $50. 
 
 2. It is safe, a mortgage backed by the government and the people 
 
 of the richest nation. 
 
 3. It pays 4 per cent. 
 
 4. It can be converted, borrowed upon. 
 
 5. It is offered direct, no bank makes a profit. 
 
 0. It is an inducement to thi-ift. 
 
 7. It can be obtained for a small sum down. 
 S. The average buyer will pay no tax on the bond. 
 9. The bond means a vote of confidence in our cause. 
 VI. The success of the Liberty Loan means : 
 
 1. We serve notice on autocracy of our determination to fight till 
 
 democracy is safe. 
 
 2. We give our Allies the assurance of our certain help in the 
 
 cause of world peace. 
 
 3. We make concrete proof that the people are behind their gov- 
 
 ernment — the essence of democracy at war. 
 
 4. AVe capitalize the resources of the United States, capital to 
 
 finance the greatest venture of industry, business, po]iti<'s — 
 to promote the great business of permanent peace. 
 
 A LIST QF QUESTIONS 
 
 The following twenty-nine questions clipped from a list appearing in 
 The Public in the spring of 1918 were mimeographed for all the speakers. 
 This list of questions attracted much attention and called for considerable 
 comment. Some members of the staff asked for references and informa- 
 tion, others thought the Bureau was attempting to shape their opinions on 
 political and social questions. The fact, however, that the material which 
 they had received was entirely in the form of questions was usually suffi- 
 cient evidence that the object was only to provoke thought and stimulate 
 interest. Both pui-poscs were accomplished among the most progressive 
 members of the staff.

 SUGGESTED PROGRAM FOR WAR CONFERENCE 
 
 JanuaiT 23, 1918. 
 
 Chairman Coimty 
 
 Council of Defense 
 Dear Sir: 
 
 The date of your county's War Conference is 
 
 The speaker from Washington, D.C., is 
 
 In addition, through this Bureau, other speakers will be sent as follows : 
 
 (general patriotic addi'ess.) 
 
 (War Savings and Thrift Stamp representative.) 
 
 (Representative of Educational Section, State 
 
 Council of Defense.) 
 
 (Representative of Red Cross, Lake Division.) 
 
 (Representative of U.S. Boys' Working Reserve) 
 
 (Representative Women's Section State Council 
 
 of Defense.) 
 Enclosed is a suggested program which is largely self-explanatory. 
 Please understand that whatever arrangements your program committee 
 make, place should be foimd for the five or six speakers sent through this 
 Bureau. These speakers are specially selected and trained for presentation 
 of particular governmental war activities and for pui-poses of consultation 
 with their respective local organizations ; they cannot easily be diverted 
 without upsetting the plans of the organizations which provide for their 
 service. Later we shall inform you definitely at what time of the day each 
 speaker will have to be released so as to make train connections and pro- 
 ceed on the circuit. 
 
 You may be sure that the speakers will prove wholly satisfactory. If 
 there should be changes in personnel you will he informed fully.

 Director Speakers' Bureau. 
 
 INDORSEMENT OF EDUCATION WEEK 
 
 April 17, 191S. 
 The important business at hand right now is to defeat Germany. After 
 that has been accomplished the important business will be to reconstruct the 
 world which has been devastated by war. Both tasks require the highest 
 possible degree of training and leadership. 
 
 Tills war was largely made in German schools. Our hope to vvin and to 
 make the whole world better rests in no small degree upon the broad- 
 minded ideals and the technical training for which our schools stand. To 
 those who are below military age or who have not yet found their places in 
 military service, the schools offer the best opportunity to secure the tech- 
 nical training and the broad-minded leadership so essential today.

Speakers^ Bureau of State Council op Defense 37 
 
 PERSONNEL OF THE SPEAKERS' BUREAU 
 
 Office Force. The lecture service of Indiana University w^as under the 
 direction of Professor J. J. Pettijohn, Director of the Extension Division. 
 When the w^ar spealcing was added, Mr. Pettijohn continued to direct the 
 work. After the appointment of the Educational Committee,^ Dr. Horace 
 Ellis, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, assisted in the assign- 
 ment of speakers, chiefly from educational institutions, for patriotic 
 meetings. 
 
 When the State Council of Defense arranged with Indiana University 
 for the organization and maintenance of the Speakers' Bureau, Mr. Petti- 
 john was appointed Director. He was assisted in the organization work 
 by Mr. W. S. Bittner and Miss Mary B. Orvis. Later Miss Edith M. 
 Evans and Miss Florence L. Siegel were added to the office force as 
 secretary and stenographer, respectively. After December, 1917, Robert 
 E. Cavanaugh, as assistant director, gave full time to the work of the 
 Bureau which was now constantly increasing as the war policies of the 
 government called more and more for united patriotic effort thruout the 
 nation. Very efficient assistance was given the Bureau by Mr. Bert 
 Hendren, of the State Board of Accounts, who volunteered his services 
 during the county and community war conferences from January to 
 April, 1918. 
 
 The Advisory Committee. The advisoi-y committee, which was chosen 
 in December, 1917, consisted of the following members: 
 
 Thomas F. Moran, Purdue University and National Security League 
 
 William L. Bryan, Indiana University and State Board of Education 
 
 Hugh McK. Landon, War Service Board 
 
 W. A. Bastian and W. H. Eichorn 
 
 H. E. Barnard, Federal Food Administrator 
 
 Evans Woollen, Federal Fuel Administrator 
 
 A. M. Hall, League to Enforce Peace 
 
 Philip T. White. "Four-Minute" jMon 
 
 Mrs. Anne Studebaker Carlisle, Women's Section, State Council of Defense 
 
 After Mr. Pettijohn was called to Washington in May, 1918, to assist 
 in the direction of the work of the Speaking Division of the Committee 
 on Public Information, the Bureau was under the direction of Mr. Cav- 
 anaugh. The organization consisting of Mr. Cavanaugh, acting director; 
 Miss Evans, secretary; and Miss Siegel, stenographer and office assistant, 
 remained unchanged until the close of the war work of the Bureau. 
 
 Indiana Speakers. When the call for speakers was sent out early in 
 the summer of 1917 the response was generous from every section of 
 Indiana. It was not possible to use all who volunteered to speak. An 
 effort was made always to assign capable speakers who were available 
 at the least expense of time and money. The published list does not 
 include the army of efficient speakers who spoke for various other organ- 
 
 ^ See page 31, 
 
38 
 
 Bulletin of the Extension Divisiox 
 
 izations thruout the state, nor does it include the hundreds of cnpniilc 
 and patriotic women who were registered with their own bureau." 
 
 An effort has been made, however, to include in the following list all 
 speakers who filled engagements under the immediate direction of the 
 Speakers' Bureau of the State Council of Defense:

 Out-of-State Speakers. Thi-uout the war there was demand for speak- 
 ers who had been in the war zone. It was fortunate that men and women 
 who had had this experience were available early in the war. They came 
 to Indiana with a message that meant more at the time than did the 
 most eloquent patriotic appeal of one who had no first-hand war exper- 
 ience to relate. As the war continued and the citizens became more and 
 more conversant with the situation the demand for speakers with over- 
 seas experience became practically universal. 
 
 These men and women were sent to Indiana communities without 
 charge except for traveling expenses. Local committees were usually 
 asked to pay railroad fare and hotel bills, but some speakers, especially 
 the officers of the allied armies, were paid a straight "subsistence fee" of 
 ten dollars from which they paid their own hotel, Pullman, and incidental 
 expenses. 
 
 Some of these speakers came to Indiana a number of times. President 
 Lyman P. Powell,' who on his first trip at the time of the county war 
 conferences spoke approximately sixty times in thirty communities, was 
 brought to Indiana four times. 
 
 The list which follows is given practically in chronological order:
