 Drafting B Notes.
 Since the cool weather has set in Professor Stuart has been kept con tinuously on the jump looking after the needs of the soldier tra1nees. Never before in the history of the operation of the Trade school has such burst of ambition been shown. Every member of this class seems sincere and very much in earnest in their desire to gain knowledge of the trade. Although Professor Stuart IS made of the stuff which heroes are made of, his students doubt his ab1l- ity to stand up under the strain.
