to size and :. the, regiment reformed.
The companies were renamed and re-
differed. New sroll-calls were made
out and complete system is to take
effect Immediately. Books will be
kept of company, battalion and regi
ment. Each first sergeant will keep
the company books, the battalion adj,
jutant the battalion books, and the
regimental adjutant the regiment books.
MASTER department, a quartermaster
for each company, the BATTALION and
one for the regiment. These will all
| keep their respective books.
! There is also regular, recruiting Off
Ger whose sole duty is to see to the re-
cruiting. The quartermasters is to
see to the uniforming.
Regular orders will be posted, one
set in the colonel's quarters, for off
| GERS and first sergeants, the other for
non commissioned officers and privates,
on the grounds.
! All cadets must be on time at drill,
stragglers will be heavily. demerited,
and any cadet who cannot be at drill on
time will be disciplined. Everything
is to 90 off in a strictly military man
ner from now on and cadets will be re-
quired to watch all announcements and
orders whatsoever and no cadet will be
texcused for. ignorance. T E J OF r.
ma has secured small building back
of the new armory and all work will be
carried on from there, such as recruit
ing, Officers school, ETC., all recruits will
report there.
+ I might say a word regarding the
new organization. There is to be three
tclasses@ or divisions, the uniformed men,
the ununiformed and the recruits.
Each company will have only it's uni
formed men in the regular company,
the ununiformed men will be taken
charge of by one of the. under officers.
The recruits will all go together in one
general company.
AS soon as man is uniformed he will
report to his regular company A re:
cruit will drill in the recruit squad until
he is fully competent to go into the
regular company If he is uniformed
he wilfS go into his regular uniformed
company. If not he: will: report, to his
ununiformed company,
III Regular Recruit Squad. ...>..
F There will be regular recruit squad,
i which will drill every. night at regular
drill. This is to be taken chage of by
4 some officer. : 8
+ Recruiting has been on the jump fol
some time Some Of the companies re.
j porting Friday with eighteen to forty
recruits EACH It was a great surprise
+ FRIDAY night when the cadets lined up
Fin regimenta! front to find that 70!
1 men were in line, 500 Of whom were uni
t:formed. This is certainly a fine show
t ing and even better than could have
been asked for. The proposition now
is to uniform these extra men.
I The model guns must be handled
| carefully and quartermasters will be
careful to see that all are returned anc
carefully packed away. There will 81
a. long desk arranged for all the frs
sergeant majors. These, Officers will
report each night his company or bat
. talon drills and make UP his: books.
