States inspector, which was o r.unuslal
credit to the cadet corps, was held
"Wednesday afternoon, instead of FRI
day, as was expected. The inspecting
officer, Captain julius A. Penn, OF the
general STAFF, was very well pleased
with the showing made by the battal-

regret that the girls company was
not inspected, saying that he had been
led by his predecessor, Captain U. S.
Grant McAlexander, to believe that
he would see an exhibition which was
not only entirely unique, but very
pleasing. Thursday morning Command
ant Hill gave an informal report of
the inspection to the companies, and
stated that there will be no more reg
ular drill this year. Target practice
will begin next week, and as usual,
the morning recitation will be held
from 8 to IL instead of from s to IL
during the practice.
