WANT NEW METHOD
In CADET 'EXAMS"
Vexed Problem Before the
Board of Education.
DOUBLE TRIALS ARE OPPOSED
Col. Ross, Instructor, Seeks Light
from the Members-Supt. David
Earten in WOrmIey SchOoI-Pro-
motions and Transfers.

What may mean a reorganization in
the method of examination for regimen
tai and company commissions in the
High School Cadets was discussed at the
meeting of the board of education yes
terday. Col Burton R. Ross, instructor
OF cadets, asked through Assistant Super
intendent E. L. Thurston for expressions
of opinion from the board
1t is understood that Col. Ross is op-
posed to letting a fourth year man try
for company command after failing to
qualify for a regimental office. Some
members of the board contend that limit
ing pupils to only one trial is viola
ton of the merit system. 1t is said to
work harm in preventing pupils of good
standing from winning a lower commits
sio If they fail in their attempt to reach
the higher Offices.
The regimental examinations have al
ready been held and ii is understood that
some of the students who aspired to
colonels or lieutenant colonies subse-
Quently entered in the examinations for
company commands These examina-
uons will be taken next week
The question of deuble examinations" "
said Assistant Supt. Thurston, will
have TO be gone into carefully. 1 am not
able to give reasons at this time favor
ing either the single or double exam
dent the former plan would lead, but
this Is simply because the latter has
never been the subject of inquiry"
The same view of the situation was
taken by Supt. Davidson.

tangle the salary skein and learn ex-
actly what funds are open and how they
