on Organized Reserve duty. In addi-
ton. the candidate going up for pro-
motion has been found in many cases
to be almost entirely unprepared TO
take the examination that he has re-
quested, and the time of the examining
board, on which both Regular Army
and Reserve officers serve, has been
wasted. The latter officers serve with
out compensation and often at a con-
siderable personal sacrifice.
The scope of the promotion examina-
tons, particularly in the higher grades,
is a broad one, and the labor involved
in preparing examinations Is consider
able. To avoid unnecessary labor, 1t
would be desirable that the examina-
tions for promotion be held at certain
fixed dates and that the questions for
such examinations be prepared by some
central agency, such as the service
schools or the chiefs of branches for
distribution to all corps areas. Such a
change would promote uniformity OF
standard for, as many Washington Re-
serve officers can attest, there has been
considerable variation In the standards
set by the various examining boards in
different sections of the country. 1t has
also been suggested. in an effort to pre-
vent Reserve officers from being permit
ted to take the examinations when they
ares not prepared to be examined. that
when an officer applies for promotion he
should submit some evidence of his fit
ness to take the examination asked for.
To standardize the examination of Re-
serve officers through the country a
letter has been sent by the War Depart
ment to the various corps area COM
manders inquiring as to their views III
the matter, and it is expected that the
War Department will announce in the
near future suitable plan of conduct
ing these examinations.

association with units of the District
of Columbia National Guard. In
order to take advantage of all oppor-
tunities for such training, local Re-
serve officers, upon their own applica-
ton, accompanied by the recommen-
dation of the National Guard unit
commander, and with the approval of
the adjutant general of the District of
Columbia National Guard, can be at
tached to the organizations of the local
Guard for purpose of inactive training
throughout the year. The new policy
is very broad in its scope and 1t is also
prescribed that under similar conditions
Reserve officers may be ordered to ac-
tive duty during the field training
period with National Guard units.
Where practicable, this policy may be
extended to include the association of
Organized Reserve units with appro-
pirate National Guard units in both
inactive ad active duty training.
Only two Institutional assemblies
will be held this week by Washington
