Military Science" to Be
Taught at. University
While Wars On.
TO TRAIN |'' MEN FAST
Demand for Skilled Engi-
neers Must Be Met, Ex-
ecutive Explains.

Definite plans as to the courses Of
fered at the. State University have
been announced by Chancellor Elliot.
It Ids been decided to install q course
in military training, on q much more
elaborate scale than last year. II may
be that the state board of education
will make this training compulsory for
all students, as is done in the eastern
colleges.
The military course will be given
under the direction of the faculty OF
the school of forestry. Special atten--
tlon will be given to army engineering.
To Prepare Men for Service.
The object OF the work to be given
at the State University Is to prepare
young men for such service as may be
called for by the nation during the
present war. Never has the demand
f,r trained men been SO great. and to
supply the need in as short time as
possible, the school year has been sub
divided into four quarters. Of three
months each, which viii enable q stu
dent to be graduated in three years.
We'll. Balanced Course.
narjly In the fundamentals required
in the study of military engineering.
the work Is SO balanced that a student
finishing the one-year course at the
state University should be able to
complete the work leading to 4 bach
clor's degree in any one of the insti-
tutions that comprise the University
OF Montana in three years more.
Thus It. will be seen that the new
course Is designed to supply the means
for attaining the qualifications for
citizenship as welt as instruction in tho
rudiments OF military science. 1t is the
Intention to make the work as prac-
teal as possible; the students pro-
!iciency Is to be determined by the I'M
dersianding and skill he shows in the
actual practice of the subject in ques-
ton. not by his ability to mesholize
and repeat paragraphs from the text
book.
