AT
COLLEGE
TRAINED
Large Number Throughout
State Offering Selves for
Officers Reserve Corps.

While the cadet at the North Das
kota Agricultural college has no status
that would subject him to call to serv-
ice more than any other citizen OF the
country, he Is nevertheless, better
lifted for military service, IL endowed
with the necessary physical Qualifica-
lions. than the ordinary civilian.
The fact that this nation il now
at war with Germany has created
much more enthusiasm in military
studies and in drills among the cadets
OF the institution than has been ap-
parent in its history. The boys take
greater interest in the work, bone"
harder on military subjects, and have
more real pep" than has been noticed
in some time.
There are some in the two cadet
companies who are studying for high
er things in the military profession.
Some, too. are working hard for the
purpose Of entering the officers re-
serve corps Of the United States army,
an organization composed Of all
civilians qualified to act as reserve
officers for regular, volunteer or con-
script forces, should the congress pass
the universal military training bill, and
start a system OF selective conscrip-
ton to raise a large army in time Of
need.
There are men In the cadet compa-
mics that are well fitted for such posi-
tons and have the additional advan-
tage Of some training that would adj
vance them considerably above the
average civilian in the reserve corps.
Their training is up-to-date.
There are at the Agricultural college
about 100 young men of the state TAX
ing military training. being practically
all Of the able-bodied young men go
Ing to the school. One of the prov-
sions OF the federal government, which,
in part, finances the institution, is
that all able-bodied young men take
the drill and training.
Lieut.. r. B. Carrithers. u. s. A,
Is commandant and military instructor
at the college. He seems much pleased
with the reviving interest that is be-
ing taken. He has always been able
to interest the men in the work, but
there is apparent, since the declaration
Of war, a something" that shows that
the men are taking the work more
seriously to heart than they have in
the past. There seems to be an added
effort to make the best showing pos
sible.
Yesterday afternoon the companies
were put through extended order drill
in the armory which was followed by
parade on the campus, which was car
ried out in a creditable manner. There
was plenty OF snap to the close or
der drill, the execution OF the manual
Of arms being good.
There have been q large number Of
applications sent to Lieutenant Car
rithers for permission to take the ex-
aminationS for the officers reserve
corps and the majority of these ap-
plications have come from cadets Of
the Agricultural college.
