oversee everything as in the past but
they understand his position and APP
preciate it. They realize that it has
been too much for him and he overtax-
ed his strength and no one wonders at
it either.
one plan that Is meeting with gen
eral approval is that Of asking Lieut..
Lester Partridge of Go. +. to act as
drill master and to ask Mr. White t.
merely have an oversight over the boys
and act in the fatherly manner of the.
past. 1t has been suggested that the
citizens at least the fathers Of the boys
in the company. should form some sort
of an organization and have commit
tees appointed to look after the COM
pany at certain times and thus take
the care off the hands of the Leaders
In this manner the company could
continue ana every one would havr
an easy time Every one feels thai
Lieut.. Partridge would make Il good
drill master and the boys all like him
This would relieve Mr. White Of a
llrg" part Of the work and then by
having the parents organization IT,
look after other matters. everything
could be continued with the same good
effect upon the members of the COM
pany as Of Old.
The effect upon the boys has been
too good to lose" remarked General
richards, "and none Of the parents
should forget this in thinking Of tn
matter. Their morals are being train
ed as we'll as in their bodies and they
are becoming better subjects for cit
Zens Of the city Of Augusta"
Furthermore the general says it is
TOO bad t. lose this organization that
everyone likes to see and of which the
people of the city are 50 proud. Pos
sibly too, he has an idea that the COM
pany will i'll future be feeder Of
trained men for the Guard ana will
make a company that would do any
