IN EXAMINATIONS
AT BUSINESS HIGH

Commissions In Cadets
Upheld In Report.

unjust discrimination and other
abuses of authority were charged
against the military board of the Dis
tftct public school system in o minority
report on the cases of Edwin Frank
and ]. p. Eckert of the Business High
School, ut the meeting cf the Beard of
Education yesterday.
X. r. Horner, of the military affairs
committee of the board. was the author
" the minority report, and upheld the
contention of the two high school stu
dents who charged they had been dis
ciiminated against in awarding COM
missions in the nigh school cadet regi-
jnuent. Tile majority report of the
Board of Education or the casts OF
Eckert AMI Frank, which had been
pending for almost year, was to the
effect that the allegations OF the stu
dent cadets were without sufficient
ground to warrant further action.
Both Eckcrt ana Frank were lieuten-
ants last year in the cadet regiment
They contend Colonel Ross, in charge
OF the cadets, told them as they had
! taken examination for lieutenancies at
the close Of the scholastic year they
would not have to stand another exam
ination for captaincies during the sue
ceeding fall. Consequently the cadets
declared. they did not study. Several
hours prior TO the examinations for
captancies in the cadet regiment. they
were notified, they said, they would
have to take the examination. Both
received low marks and lost their
chances to be promoted.
