Edward Frensdorf, chairman OF

great saving could be made on
state printing II II were divided up
among state institutions rather than
parceled out on contracts.
"A batch OF legislation has bosn
passed so far this year that calls
for expenditures and extravagances
OF all kinds. yet nothing has been
done toward introducing bills that
might effect much needed econo-
mics In Michigan. Why not try
saving some OF the peoples money!
"If we weer able to apportion the
state printing among state institiE

instead OF burdens and sinking
holes for money.
Il have been working for years

declaration of war.
At the outbreak of the war, American
munitions makers, learning they oculd
make more profits from the manufac-
ture of defective munitions, the Texan
directly charged on the floor Of the
house, sacrificed quality for dollars.
This resulted in much OF their output
being rejected by inspectors for the
Allies. Unable to dispose of this stock

BOYS NEARING DRAFT
AGE URGENTLY NEED
MILITARY TRAINING TRAINING
BY Taking Military Training Now
They Will Prepare Themselves
For Officers Places

The United States is preparing for
a long war and before it is over the
boys that are now just graduating
from the high school may be called
into the service. Therefore, they
should begin their military training as
soon as possible, in order that when
they are called to the colors they may
go in as officers and not as privates.
Young men who did not expect to
attend college will enter this fall for
one or two years training The OPP
portunities offered by a college ranked
among the fifteen distinguished" mil
itary colleges of the nation by the
War Department are unlimited. The
War Department has urged every
young man below the draft age to
complete his education and get all the
training possible, for the soldier of
today is not a machine but a clear
thinking individual of whom more than
ordinary initiative is demanded.
More than 1900 young men have
just graduated from the high schools
of the state, and, since they are be-
low the draft age, they can answer no
more patriotic call than that for mill
tary training preparatory for active
service in the army of our country.
The University of Georgia at Athens
is making special preparations to take
care of the young men entering the
institution this fall and special mill
tary courses are being offered that can
be taken in connection with the regu-
lar work Those who prove their eff
cheney in the military department will
be awarded certificates and will be in
line for promotion in the regular army
as officers. The records made by the
400 Georgia" men in the Reserve Of
fcers Corps is an evidence of the op.
portunities that come to University
men for military preferment Those
desiring information should write
Chancellor David c. Barrow, Athens,
Georgia.

military TRAINING
FOR ACTIVE SERVICE
AATISSTTAATTE UNIVERSITY
Special Courses In Trench Warfare,
Wireless And Field Fortifications
Will Be Taught

The University of Georgia at Ath-
ems has arranged to give special mill
tary courses the coming year with a
view of fitting men for active mill
tary service and of giving them a max
imum opportunity for advancement
and promotion when they enlist. The
military work will be given in connec-
ton with the regular courses and will
count as credits towards a degree.
Men who are preparing to enter the
army at an early date will be allowed
to matriculate without the usual scho-
lastic entrance requirements.
Gymnasium training will be made
compulsory, the regular drill exercis-
es will be five times a week, and a
special United States army officer will
head the Military Department. There
will be a compulsory course for Jun
iors and Seniors in military science,
embracing Field Service Regulations,
Army Regulations, and Military Rec
onnoissance and Topography. This
course will count towards a degree
and can be taken also by men of the
draft age who will come to the Uni
versity for training before they are
drafted
Certificates will be given to men de-
string special military training for sue
cessful work in each of the following
courses:
Course A. This course will deal
with military roads and railroads,
field Notifications and entanglements,
methods of trench construction and
with cordage and military bridges.
Course 8. Work in this course
will deal with power plants, transpor-
tation and communication with spe-
cial emphasis given to the study of
electric generators, motors, transform
ers and storage cells as used in small
field power plants for lighting and
power on trucks, A study of field tel
egraphy, telephoning and wireless will
be given also, together with a course
dealing with the gasoline engine as
used in automobiles, trucks and aero
planes.
Course C. Forty-two men gradu-
ated from this course given during the
Summer School and have already en-
listed for active service as sergeants
in the army Quartermaster's Corps
A similar course will begin September
10 and continue three months. Three
classes will be graduated during the
| year for the service.
1t is believed that men who pursue
these courses will find themselves in a
favorable position as to training and
advancement on entering active serv
| ice.

In order to bring the whole matter
to light and have it thoroughly inves-

the resolution.
