California School
Drops Military Work

Much interest has been aroused in
school circles throughout the West by
the recent announcement that the
name and character of the Pasadena
Military Academy, well-known and
deservedly popular preparatory
school, has been radically changed by
dropping the military features en-
tirely and adopting the strictly schol-
astic basis. Under it's new role the
school will be known as the California
Preparatory School for Boys.
The management and ownership are
to remain the same as before, and the
school will remain in it's former loca-
ton during the school year beginning
in September next. A new site en-
bracing 100 acres of improved table
land lying at the base of the San Jose
Hills, in San Gabriel Valley, has been
purchased and during the coming
year a new plant, costing at least
quarter of million dollars, will be
erected there.
No pains will be spared under the
new plan, according to the statements
of the management, to maintain the
schools former high standards of men
tai, moral and physical training.
Strict disciplinary methods will be
carried out and systematic physical
training adhered to, Notwithstanding
the discontinuance of the regular mil
itary features

CUTS OF PERSONNEL
HERE WILL CONTINUE
Federal Offices Here Still Far From
Pre-war Basis, Commissioner
Wales Says.

George Wales of the United States
Civil Service Commission, who, with
Miss jessie Dell, recently appointed to
the commission to succeed Miss Helen
NJ. Gardener, conferred with President
Coolidge at the White House today,
said after the audience that further
reductions in personnel in the Federal
departments at Washington can be
looked for within the next year.
Commissioner Wales had no specific
information nor was he able to sug-
geSt any figures as to the number of
dismisSals expected. but said that he
felt pretty certain that cuts must be
continued In the departments to meet
the administrations program
Commissioner Wales pointed out
chat many clerks will be dropped from
the Government rolls because of the
expiration of their temporary employ
ment, such as those who have been
engaged in the adjusted compensation
work at the Veterans Bureau and
the War Department., and in other
temporary services. This is to be
expected, he said. AS for the old line
departments, it is the aim of the
administration to reduce the clerical
forces sufficiently to meet the demand
of its economy policy.
Mr.. Wales said that the ma ajority
of the departments are far from their
pre-war time basis so far as personnel
is concerned.
