Something About the Sacramento Cadet
COMPANY.
FOR THE BOYS.

Company.
There has been much inquiry about the
proposed new cadet corps, which is designed
as a military training class, and evidently
there is not that correct understanding con-
corning the subject by the general public as
is desirable. The last Legislature passed
new law governing and regulating the militia
of the State, and intended to greatly adj
vance its standard aud increase its efficiency.
That law contains provision that the
Colonel of each regiment of the
National Guard of California may or
ganize and attach to his regiment
one company of cadets, who are to be en-
rolled for not less than three years. and who
are bound at the end Of that enlistment and
between the ages of Is and q years to enter
and serve one term of enlistment in some
company of the n. q. G. To each of such
cadet companies the State beside arming
them, allows one-third the sum allotted to a
company of the regiment The law provides
that each member of such cadet company
must be of the age and qualifications pre-
scrlbed by the Colonel, and 70 cadet must
use any intoxicating drinks, under penalty
of dishonorable dismissal from the service.
The law requires that the Colonel shall pre-
scribe the discipline for and give his personal
attention to the instruction of his cadet com
pany and each cadet company shall be drilled
and trained IN the arm of the service to which
the regiment is attached
Colonel Raymond, of the artillery regiment.
has resolved to avail of this law and enroll a
company Of cadets to be attached to the First
Artillery Regiment, Fourth Brigade, n. G.
=. 10 that end he called meeting of those
feeling an interest in the matter, and that
meeting appointed committee which has the
matter in charge, Albert Hart, Private Sec
rotary TO Governor Perkins, being Chairman.
Alseady many applications have been filed
with Mr.. Hart, who furnishes all who desire
with the necessary blanks for filing appli-
cations Tonight the committee is to meet
and begin the task of selecting cadets
from among the applicants. The rules
thus tar established require that each
cadet shall utterly abstain from
the use of intoxicating liquors, shall be FIVE
feet in hight shall be between fourteen and
eighteen years of age, of good moral character,
correct IN habit, known to be obedient and
respectful to his parents, to have been indus
trious and diligent at labor or at study, to be
neat in his personal habits, and to be Of sound
bodily health There are to be but sixty
cadets in the company, and each one will be
required to constantly wear the cadet badge,
that he may be known as California State
Cadet and his conduct thus come under public
scrutiny. In short, it is intended that this
company shall be a model one, strictly dis
ciplined both in military and moral lines
that its membership shall be a passport to
good society," and any deviation by It's men,
bers from true gentlemanly conduct will meet
with punishment. The arms and accouter-
ments will be furnished them by the State,
while efforts will be made to procure uni
forms free of charge to those who shall Join
its ranks, and to this end tits the intention of
the committee to call ON the citizens to uni
form the boys neatly, that they shall do
credit to the city and be encouraged to make
the company the best in the State. 1t is the
intention to get the company into fair dis
ciphne by the time the military encampment
Is held here this summer or fall.
