At the invitation of Sergeant Blake
of the local recruiting station, prac-

the Technical High School will take
course in drilling after school
hours for the purpose of overcom-
ing some of the physical defects that
may disqualify them for army serv-

also designed to develop the lads
physically, and ie case they are in
Quoted later into the Army, it will
put them in a position for promotion
because of their knowledge secured
through the course.
Sergeant Blake visited the school
this morning and gave the students
a delightful talk on the necessity for
the work. When he put the ques-
ton, asking how many of the stu
dents would be willing to do earnest
work after school hours Tuesdays
and Thursdays, practically every lad
in the institution raiser his hand.
Early last year a petition was sent
in to the School Board asking for a
military course as part of the school
work, but the time was not consid-
cred ripe then for granting the re-
quest. While the present course is
not a part of the curriculum. ard

the students be given credit for the

ing station has the sanction of the
School Board. Courses will also be
inaugurated at the Academy and

stood.

1t, the scab union, cannot use the

lieving the scab organization is a
