visement by the board.
The citizens association, in the pre-
Iude to it's recommendation, adopted at
a recent meeting declared that while the
military training of high school students
was an admirable detail of the national
defense plan, much embarrassment"
was suffered from the present arrange
ment in that a sort Of stigma was at
tached to poor students" who were I'M
able TO buy uniforms and text books, and
become eligible TO membership in the
corps.
The resolution read that membership
in the corps should be made compulsory
for able-bodied students, and that the
schools should furnish the uniforms and
military text books.
The board heard A. J. Driscon, presi-
dent Of the Grover Cleveland Forum, on
the matter of use of school buildings on
Sundays. Mr.. DTiscou declared that the
Mid-City Citizens Association had
favored the plan and that the reason for
the forums occupation Of the building
on Sundays was that ''it brought people
closer together and gave them an OPP
portUnity to meet each other.
Mrs. Rhodes Defends Plan.
Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, member of
the board. told why she favored the use
Of school buildings on the Sabbah-
Rev John MacMurray, pastor Of Union
Methodist Episcopal Church, objected to
the use of school buildings on Sunday.
\ similar objection was written by the
secretary of the Christian Endeavor
Union, who declared he represented
1900 people Both letters were taken
under consideration by the board.
President H. P. Blair declared the di-
rectors should withhold action on the
question until the superintendent OF
schools, E l. Thurston, had submitted
his report on an investigation of poll
cies adopted by other cities. Mrs. Rhodes
a director, declared that the superin-
tendsnt should consult Miss Margaret
Wilson on the question for reasons of
courtesy"
