HIGH ECHOOL CADETS
TO GO INTO CAMP

A special meeting OF the board OF
education was held at the Washing
ton school Saturday morning al
which several matters Of interest to
the public was considered.
The proposed encampment Of the
high school cadets during the Easter
vacation was decided upon and plans
for carrying it out discussed. The
encampment will precede the begin
ming OF the last semester Of the school
year and will be held along the line
Of the Florence & Cripple Creek rail
road, twelve or fifteen miles north
east of the city:
It Is understood that the cadets will
leave here Monday morning. March
30th. and will be in camp most, If not
all, Of the succeeding week.
The camp will be under military
regulations and will be under the d.
rect supervision of Professor F. F,
Thompson. superintendent OF the city
schools.
An officer of the Colorado national
cadets will be under his orders 50 far
as drills. target practice and other
soldierly duties are concerned. The
! Quartermaster's department Of the C.
y. G. at Denver will furnish tents
from the state military stores and the
rations and other incidental expenses
will be provided by the board OF ed
ucation. In fact. everything necessary
for the comfort of the cadets will be
supplied to them without cost.
The Florence & Cripple Creek road
has very generously offered 10 make
rate OF one dollar for the round
I trip TO the cadets. but transportation
like everything else connected with
the encampment will be free to the
wearers of the high school uniform,
the cost of that feature being guaran-
teed by the school authorities.
The cadets will probably be visited
while in camp by the members of the
board of education, as we'll as by
some of their relatives and friends.
The object Of the encampment is
TO promote a stronger interest on the
part OF the cadets in their organiZa-
ton. or. as the French would call II,
esprit du corps. and. that it will sue
coed. goes without saying.
1t is expected that the encampment
will be a pleasant outing to the ca
diets and that the discipline and drill
they will receive while there will be
helpful to them in many ways and
that they will return to their studies
with greater zest and vigor in conse-
auence OF 1t,
II is understood that provision will
be made by the board of education
for between sixty and seventy men
All cadets are expected to accompany
the corps to the encampment. but we
have not been advised whether II is
obligatory upon them to do so or
not
