The administration Of post ex-
funds is not receiving sufficient su-
pervision according to the War De-
partment. though many of the ir-
regularities arising are no doubt due
to the inexperience of the officers re-
sponsible for these funds. 1t has
department commanders that for a
time closer supervision be adopted.
This will be with a view to insuring
that all responsible officers are prop
erly informed as to the expenses
which are authorized from these
funds and as to the proper methods
to be followed in accounting for
them.
The order to standardize the mean
Ing OF certain terms employed in
War Department and service pub
locations and for instruction purpose

of War, that in all future publica-

SCHO0[SF|ND COST
Of BOOKS IS HIGHER
Increase Over Last Year to
Result in Retaining Many
Which Are Unfit.

Because the prices of textbooks
have increased from 10 to % per cent
over last year, school officials are
confronted with a perplexing situa-
tion which is expected to result in
considerable reduction in the number
of school books that will be ordered
for use in the public schools at the
beginning of the new term in Sep
tember.
The appropriation for school text
books will be inadequate for the pur-
chase of as large number as last
year, when the supply was limited
on account of high prices and an in
sufficient appropriation.
When school authorities tackled the
work of estimating the amount OF
supplies that can be bought for
the 100000 appropriated by Congress
for use a. the inception of the new
fiscal year, beginning July !: they
ascertained that the cost of text
books is much higher than last year.
The cost of the books last year was
25 to So per cent higher than in 1919.
High Cost Unexplained.
Reasons for the increased cost of the
books this year officials of the schools
are unable to give. They point out
that the publishers claim that the
recent strike of the printers forced
them to raise the price of books. On
the other hand, officials say the cost
of paper has decreased.
One of the results of the high cost
of the books. it was explained. will be
that large number of dirty. wornout
ones will be placed in the hands OF
school children next fall than hereto
fore. These old books officials are de-
sirous of condemning as unfit for use,
but will be precluded from doing SO
because the money allotted for school
supplies is insufficient.
Want Bigger Appropriations.
This condition led school authori-
ties again to emphasize the need for
a larger appropriation for school sup
plies. One official cited that $130.000
was asked for supplies in the last
District appropriations bill. but this
amount was cut to 100000 in Con-
gress. I'VE really need s130.0O0 for
supplies this year" he said. "in order
to get rid of text books that are unfit
for use"
Virtually all other school supplies,
which include pens. scissors, maps,
penholders, pen points. ink, erasers.
chalk and pencils, with the exception
of paper. 1t is estimated. will cost
the same this year as last. Paper
- 70 70 50 per cent cheaper.

THE ARMY

| In order to pass from a peace to a
war basis without confusion, the War
Department advises that all National
| Guard officers hold commissions in the
officers Reserve Corps in time OF
peace 1t is pointed out that the hold
i ing of reserve commissions by Ma
! t,onal Guard officers. not only make
them available in peace for certain
duties specified in the national de-
| fense act, but also give them in time
! of peace commissions under which
they can be placed on active duty in
! time of war.
| Reserve officers are to be given in
time of peace a definite assignment
under which it is contemplated to
use them in time of war. whereas
National Guard officer without re-
serve status. cannot be considered a
potential reserve officer for service
other than with his National Guard
organization If called to active duty.
Commissions in the Officers Reserve
Corps are granted to National Guard
officers merely for the convenience of
the government to facilitate their use
and training in peace and passage to
war basis in an emergency.
National Guard officers constitute a
distinct class of the Officers Reserve
Corps whose commissions in the re-
serve should in time of peace be
governed by thei= recognized status
as National Guard officers. and should
not be governed by regulations ap-
plicable to other reserve officers
whose service in the National Guard
is not contemplated. In time of peace.
upon termination of their National
Guard status. the special reserve COM
missions given them by reason there
of should be terminated. or they
should. if they desire. continue in or
re-enter the Officers Reserve Corps
under the same conditions and regu-
lations as are applicable to all other
reserve officers not holding National
Guard MISSIONS.
Persons commissioned in the Ma
tional Guard. but not federally recog-
nized, will be considered for appoint
ment or promotion as reserve officers.
without regard to their National
Guard status. 1t is suggested, how
ever. that all such persons contem-
plating federal recognition defer re-
quests for appointments or change of
status In the Officers Reserve Corps
until they have been federally recog
nized as National Guard officers. In
this manner much useless administra-
tive labor and possible complications
may be avoided in the event of a sud-
den emergency.
