The boys OF the school have had military

border for six months. and later had a
three months course at the Fort Myers

roll Of honor which has been placed in
the lobby of Memorial Hall contains the
names of more than four hundred men,
hers OF the school who have already en-
tered the service.
The time given to military training ac-
crding to Government regulations, will
be not less than three hours per
week during the school year. and
the instruction will include the no.
menclature and care Of the rifle
and equipment. infantry drill regu-
lations, close and extended order and in
structions in firing the rifle. The rifles
will be furnished by the Government
but as there Is a scarcity of rifles the
only ones available for issue to educa-
tlonal institutions are the rifles which
we're manufactured for the use of the
Russians but which were not delivered
owing to the change in the Russian sit
,Iation. A rifle range will be constructed
during the summer on land adjoining the
camps.

that during 1917 more than 49,
600 cases occurred in the Ameri-
