The eXservice men dubbed ''traiE-

present, they are working hard.
The school at present is q ponder
Gus thing. Large camp buildings, he

walk between classes. This difficu.y,
together with the fact that when the
school started instructors were forced
to go easy with the train ees," re-
sulting in what looked like inefficien-
cy( to the outsider, has resulted in
strong condemnation OF the school.
But authorities in charge believe
that in six months the situation will
be entirely changed and that critics
of today will thoroughly approve OF

Red tape in Washington in getting
appropriations, has interfered with
plans for the development of the
school. Some 'train-ee who we're

criticism to be heaped on the school.
There are between two and three

military aspect to the school.
The first batch OF students TO arrive

them disliked the quiet life Shortly
a batch of train ees" from agricul-
tural communities will be brought IN
and with their arrival 1t is believed
the morale of the entire student body
will be strengthened.
