today that he would give such teaching

the board of education, chairman OF
the committee on military affairs, and
himself a former high school cadet. re-

cadets not already enrolled in military

ceive instruction. The enrolment does
not entail any obligations for future
military service, however.
1t is pointed out that former high

true particularly of close order drill.
With the facilities ready for instruc-
ton in military science and Lieut.. Bris-
coe willing to assist in any possible
way, it is pointed out that with little
