FINE SHOWING IS
MADE BY CADETS
OF West Virginia University at
the Annual Inspection First
of the Week.

MoRGANToWN. May The an
nual inspection of the West Virginia
University cadet corps was held
Monday on the university athletic
field. the inspecting officer bean Cap
tain S. J. B. Schindle, general stan,
United States army. The entire
corps including every department IL
military science. was thoroughly m
suected b. CaStain Schind:e and was
found to be in excellent condition.
Captain Schindle has inspected the
university corps for the last three
years and his comment upon the
showing made Monday was to note
the vast Improvement in all depart
ments OF work. He commented par
ticularly upon the fine discipline OF
the men when in ranks. probably the
most common fault of college mill
.tary organizations
Makes Short Talk.
AT the conclusion of the field work,
Cantaip Schindle delivered n SCOT
talk to the officers and non-commis-
stoned officers OF the corps in which
he explained that the general stan az
Washington was trying to do all 1t
could for the young men studying
military science in the land grant
colleges and universities. the gen
eral staff at present Is exerting great
infunce in an effort to secure the
passage of a bill in Congress which
will permit the issuing of commits
sions to military graduates in the
land grant colleges as a means OF
supplying of officers for the volunteer
army which would be called forth in
event this country should become en-
gagged in war. In this connection,
Captain Schindle took occasion TO re-
mark that in the war with Spain IN
1898, the land grant colleges OF the
country furnished between $4,000
10000 men for the service, not, how
ever in the capacity of officers. 1t IS
these college graduates with military
training which the general staff plans
10 place on the reserve list OF the Of
ficers.
The system now in use provides
that the commandant in charge OF
the military departments of the land
grant schools shall forward to Wash
ington each year. the names of eight
or ten of the most capable graduates
carefully indexed at the war depart
nent and N case of host:ities, the
men would be asked 10 accept COM
mission in the volunteer army
The inspection required about four
hours and the terrific heat made ii
very trying both for officers and men.
The battalion formed for dress pa
rade at 1:2O p. m... this part of the
inspection taking place in momen-
tary shower. The companies next
drilled in close and extended order
followed by battalion parade. Com
pany drill in the bayonet exercise
and extended order ended the inspec-
ton as far as the spectators.
The last half of the inspection con-
sisted in field maneuvers by the
corps on observatory hill. The bat
talon acted as advance guard for an
attacking regiment, two companies
forming as relief. Forced marches
and camp organization We're carried
out and the maneuvers ended with
an attack by companies on an in
trenched enemy. On the return to

AS HEAD OF
GIRLS HOME
On Account of Poor Health,
Miss DUNCAN Leaves Salem
Institution.

SALEM, May miss Hilda NJ
DUNCAN, Who for ten years has been
the efficient superintendent OF the
Industrial Home for Girls here, has
resigned the position on account OIL
poor health, and gone to her former
home at Columbus, o. During the
last fall she secured a leave of alb
sence and spent some time in san
itarium at Columbus, and was much
benefited and returned here and TOOK
up the duties at the home. but re-
Gently she had to give up her ardu-
Gus work. Miss DUNCAN has been
very proficient in the position she
held her for so many years, and Is
regarded as one of the leading au-
tnorities in reformatory work, and
the Salem institution suffers great
loss in her forced retirement. Miss
Mary Crawford, who has also been
connected with the Home for long
time. is acting superintendent IN
charge at the present time. and Will
no doubt prove equal to the varied
and exacting responsibilities OF the
position, because of her experience
and close association with Miss Dun
gan for so many years.

Andrew Whitemsn were the delegates
