HIGH SCHOOL MAY GIVE
MORE TIME TO THE DRILL

After school begins next week, the com
missiened officers OF the cadet regiment
Of the Omaha High school are planning
20 take up the question OF allowing the
regiment two drill periods each week. in
stead Of the -elght-minute period
each Wednesday that was allowed since
September, 1911.
Last years plan proved very unsatls-
factory and only small headway could be
made under the conditions. on account
* the double session ARRANGEMENT OF
classes, the school authorities decided
that once a week Was all that could be
given over 60 the work. Since school
opened only eleven drills have been held.
Each drill period lasts for thirty-elght
minutes. so that only as mlauca. or
about seven fun hours OF drlu have been
held so far during tie school year.
This ~ only about one-third Of tho time
that has been formerly been giyon over
70 drill and the officers feel that in order
Ia preserve the hitherto high standing OF
the regiment, more time should be al
lowed TO carry on the work.

ninth level shortly after 8 o'clock this
morning. According to an official
statement from the officers of the
