My dear Miss Addams:
I am enclosing a statement of the amount spent on military science in the University of Wisconsin for the year 1923/24 and for the years 1913 to 1922, inclusive, which I thought would interest you. Just why the federal government should have increased its expenditures four hundred [percent] after military training was made optional at the University puzzles me. We have written an itemized statement but it has not yet been received. Our Wisconsin experiment evidently has aroused a good deal of interest in other states. We have had inquiries from five different states, not including Illinois, requesting information on Wisconsin's law making military training optional in the university. That is why it seems to me that it might be [worthwhile] to get some member of the W.I.L. to compile similar information in each of the other states having agricultural land grant colleges.
