"The Winthrop Fashion"

1.-THE winthrop fashion" of turning
out expert rifiemen and competent
coaches has attracted considerable at
tention through the country. and it Is
believed that the policy adopted there
in handling civilian shots may have
considerable exemplary value to other
ranges through the country
THE Winthrop fashion" permits of no
idle moment during the entire day. Ihe
range is reached by steamer, which
makes a three-hour run. The time
aboard the boat is utilized in giving
preliminary instruction.
No sooner has the craft, laden with
rifle club members, drawn away from
her wharf than the instruction begins.

aboard the steamer These non-com-
missioned officers form small classes
among the club members, explaining
service rife in all the positions re-
quired in the n. r. A. qualification
courses, and in the use of the sling
to minimize recoil. They then dem
onstrate the manner in which sights
should be set how the rifle is loaded
and how the breech bolt is operated.
After that the pupils are instructed in
the marking Of the targets and how
scores are determined. Meanwhile, in

bandages are applied, how splints may
be improvised and how wounds should
be treated with the contents of navy
"first-aid' packages.
When this preliminary instruction
has been completed the steamer is
nearing the Winthrop range. and each
man aboard has good working idea
of what is expected of him when he
goes on the firing line to qualify with
actual service ammunition.

The note was addressed to r. A.
Cardin, who has charge of the cotton
gin. where Kellum had been working.
