Ranger Jobs for Returned Soldiers 



Several excellent suggeslions have 

 been heard in the Western news- 

 papers that returned soldiers could 

 well be employed in the work of 

 forest patrol. A member of a local 

 legislature went as far as to advocate 

 a Ranger School at Prince Albert for 

 the instruction of the soldiers in 

 their duties. 



The idea, excellent in itself, would 

 not be acceptable for a moment to 

 the parties most concerned, the re- 



turned soldiers, unless they could 

 enter upon their work under a guar- 

 antee that the merit system and not 

 the patronage plan would prevail in 

 the conditions of their employment. 

 It is inconceivable that any soldier 

 would accept the "boon" of spending 

 five or six months at a Ranger School, 

 only to find himself rated beside a 

 political appointee who had mon- 

 opolized the road to promotion 

 through his personal "pull."
