THE same year that Principal
Daniel was a cadet captain at
Central High, Eastern Highs present
principal, Charles Hart, was a cadet
lieutenant at Eastern. Allan Davis,
principal of Business High, was a
cadet in 1885; so altogether four of
the five principals of Washington
white high schools have been Wash
ington high school cadets.
Emory M. Wilson, former principal
of Central High, drilled in the COM

roughs, now teacher of physics at
Central.
The corps has grown steadily. In
1882 there were two companies. In
1924 there is a brigade of twenty-siX
companies, two bands and a medical
unit, and in addition a separate regi-
ment of eleven companies and one
band exists among the city's colored
high schools. The cadet enerollment

Principal Daniel captained Company
3 of Central High in his third year
there and rose to the colonelcy of the
cadet corps in his senior year.
Officially, he was even more than
colonel, board of education records
show. Capt. Burton Ross, instructor
of cadets, could not receive compen-
sation for this service because of the
ruling that no person shall receive
more than one salary from the gov
crnment. So the board of education
elevated Daniel. the highest cadet
officer, to instructor of cadets and
gave to him that officers pay check,
which Daniel promptly indorsed and
turned over to Capt. Ross. the actual
instructor.
