These correspondence schools Of the
Army offer District Reserve ofhcers the
opportunity to renew and freshen as
well as learn the new methods and
changes that have been made in the
formation and functions of the different
branches of the Army. This course Of
study affords the reservists better I'M
Outstanding of the functioning of their
duty when called to active duty either
for training or an emergency. In order
for the Reserve officer to remain on the

to their advantage, especially preparing
