.273 men ACCEPTED
BY ARMY ACADEMY
Regular Troops and National
Guard Furnish Largest
Number in History.

As a result OF the March examina-
tion OF candidates for appointment to
the West Point Military Academy, 2I3
young men are entitled to admission.
OF these ninety-eight are from the
Regular Army and National Guard
the largest number ever admitted
from these two sources in any one
year.
This increase, the War Department
states, is due in large measure to ths
West Point preparatory schools estab-
lished in the various corps areas and
departments. At some of the schools
more than half of the men passed the
mental examination. In addition 10
the 2I3 successful candidates, forty
five slternates qualified.
A bill recently introduced by Sem
ator Wordsworth. designed to permit
the admission OF all qualified alter
mates until the Academy Is filled,
passed the Senate after having been
amended to deprive fourteen qualified
alternates of the privilege OF entering
West Point next July.
Advocates of the bill say thu cost
per cadet when the Academy is. filled
is less than when the classes are
small. =
There were 121 vacancies at the
Academy for which no candidates
qualified last March, and It being con-
sidered too late to hold another en-.
trance examination this year, candi-
dates who can qualify mentally by
high school or college certificate are
being appointed to enter with the
class to be admitted next July.
