Excerpt from The Automatic Instructor: A Practical System for Home Study It also led to the belief that my mem ory was weak, for a carefully studied lesson would soon become confused and indis tinct. The conviction that I was wasting time of which every moment was precious led to a careful consideration of the case and to the discovery of a system so simple, so easy of application, and so effective that I was able to learn with absolute thoroughness the various subjects to be covered by the examination.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

George Windle Read, the son of James Crisfield and Elizabeth Snell (Windle) Read, was born on November 19, 1860 at Indianola, Iowa.
He received his early education in the public schools of Des Moines, and entered the United States Military Academy in July 1879, graduating with the class of 1883.
He was commissioned second lieutenant, 16th Infantry, but was soon transferred to the 5th Cavalry and served on the frontier until 1889. For four years, 1889-93, he taught military science and tactics at the University of Iowa, and for four years thereafter served on the Texas border, 1893-97.
During the Spanish-American War he was with the army in Cuba, and after the war on duty with the evacuation commission. He took part in the suppression of the Philippine insurrection, returning to the United States in 1902. He was then sent on a confidential mission abroad, from which he returned in 1904. For two years, 1906 to 1908, he was on duty with the provisional government of Cuba, and from April to October 1908 he acted as governor of the Province of Pinar del Rio.
His success as a colonial administrator attracted the attention of his superiors and in 1910 he was sent to the Philippines, where he became inspector-general of the Province of Mindanao. In 1912 he was ordered back to the United States for border service in Arizona, a service which was twice interrupted, first by a period of study at the Field Officers' School, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and later by one at the Army War College, Washington, from which he graduated in 1914.
From 1915 to 1917 he was on duty at the War Department, Washington. On August 5, 1917, he was appointed a brigade commander at Camp Upton, Long Island, but in December was transferred to the command of cavalry stationed at El Paso, Texas.
On April 27, 1918, he was ordered to take over the command of the 30th Division, American Expeditionary Force, a division which operated in the Canal Sector in Belgium, fought in the Ypres-Lys offensive, and in the offensive on the Somme. He commanded this division on its way to France, but on June 14 was assigned the task of organizing the II Army Corps, which he subsequently commanded.
This corps under Read's command operated with the British Expeditionary Force until after the armistice. When the II Army Corps left the British zone in November 1918 Field-Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, commander-in-chief of the British forces in France, wrote to General Read: "On September 29 you took part with distinction in the great and critical attack which shattered the enemy's resistance in the Hindenburg Line and opened the road to final victory. I rejoice at the success which has attended your efforts, and I am proud to have had you under my command. "
Read was in charge of the embarkation center at Le Mans, France, from February to April 1919, when he returned to the United States. Subsequently, he was commandant at Camp Jackson, South Carolina, until September 1920, when he was placed in command of the V Corps Area, with headquarters at Fort Hayes, Ohio. In September 1922 he sailed again for the Philippines, where he was in charge of the Philippine Department until his retirement for age, November 19, 1924. On March 8, 1921, he was promoted to the rank of major-general.
He died at Walter Reed Hospital, Washington, and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
He was prominent as a corps and division commander in World War I. Read also oversaw the departure of US forces from Europe at the end of the war as commander of the American Embarkation Center at Le Havre, France. He received the Distinguished Service Medal; the croix de guerre with palm; the Gold Medal, Military Service Institution; was made knight commander of the Bath, and a commander of the French Legion of Honor. His Distinguished Service Medal was given with the citation: "For exceptionally meritorious and distinguished services. He commanded with distinction the 30th Division and organized and commanded the Second Army Corps in its operations with the British forces in France. "
