Cann Beauregar :


The memorandum which went out
from Division headquarters giving an
opportunity for all enlisted men to APP
ply for commissions in the Philippine
Scouts stated that all applications had
to be submitted by April 80. Many
men applied before the lists closed.
Those who successfully meet the re-
uuirements are to be commissioned
as second lieutenants in the Philip
pine Scouts and to serve as instruc-
tors.
Camp Beauregard is to have its own
Officers Training School now. 1t is to

be already in military service or have
been at some time a student in n
college which gave military training.
The boys must be able to pass the
physical examinations of the Oficers'
Reserve Corps. Company command
ers or unit commanders will take the
names Of not more than 10 per cent
of the enlisted personnel Of their
commands and send these. together
with their own recommendations CT
these men, to Lieutenant Colonel
Daniel w. spurlock Of the 154th In
fantry, president Of the selection
board Of the officers training camp.
Heretofore, because OF the quaran-
tine and other obstacles, it was not
possible for Beauregard to train It's
own enlisted men for commissions
and they had to be sent to other
camps. While 10 per cent OF the en-
listed strength of an organization
can be recommended for examination
only 2 per cent will be selected to re-
ceive the training and become canoi
dates for commissions. The training
will be intense and concentrated and
much more individual attention car
