HELPED CANADA MAN HER ARMIES

Correction is made of the item in the October issue of The Alumni Monthly which told of the work done by Professor E. Gordon Bill during his absence from Dartmouth from May 1, 1918 to October 1, 1919. Professor Bill was connected with that department of the Canadian Government that had charge of the administration of the Canadian Conscription act. He acted for four months as chief statistician, for seven months as assistant director and for six months as director. Canada placed administration of the conscription act wholly in the hands of the Department of Justice, and it was in the Military Service branch of that department that Professor Bill served. While he was assistant director he compiled a complete report, with full statistics and tables, showing the work of the Canadian Conscription act. This the Canadian Government has published as a book of 162 pages.
