NWO officers of the 260th Coast
Artillery Of the National Guard
of the District of Columbia

Of the District of Columbia
4 have been selected to attend
one of the courses at an Army service
school. These appointments are said
to be hard to get because Of the great
demand for them from Guard units
throughout the country, and with
each class at the schools limited.
However, high Guard commanders
encourage their officers to make appli-
cations for permission to attend the
schools of their particular arms of the
service, because when they completed
the studies they prove invaluable to
their organizations for instruction pur-
poses, particularly during the armory
training period.
Capt. Robert j. Martin, Headquar-
ters, 260th Coast Artillery, and First
Lieut.. Herbert F. Mitchell, Battery B,

Officers Courses at the Coast Artillery
School at Fort Monroe, Va. The
course will continue until November
30, next, when the students will re-
turn to their home stations here.
There is probability that officers
from the other arms of the service
represented in the militia here will be
provided with opportunities to attend
courses in their branches in which they
are serving.
