5000 increment aggravated the situa-
ton and the bureau Is fully cognizant
of the fact that the additional units
resulting from the second 5000 incre-
ment will render the situation more
acute. The bureau has been advised
that the chronic shortage in Regular
Army personnel precludes the detail
Of additional instructors with the
militia. However, 1t was said that
additional efforts will be made to Sc
cure an increased allotment.
Even the present instructors, it was
pointed out, are handicapped in giving
their full time to the advanced stages
Of training because of the vast amount
of clerical work placed on them by
the withdrawal of sergeant instruc-
tors and the increase in the number
Of persons taking the correspondence
that the situation might be relieved
to some extent by the employment OF
civilian clerks to aid the Army In
Structors where no enlised instructors
are available for assignment.
The employment of civilians for this
work, he pointed out, would relieve
both the commissioned and enlisted
instructors for the more important
work Of armory training supervision,
and he expressed the belief that the
Guard would reap vast benefits from
introduction of such system.

21.YEAR RECORD. KEPT
OF STUDENTS OF ART
National School Director Finds
Many Have Attained Prom
inence by Work.

Felix Mahony. director Of the Ma
tional School Of Fine and Applied
Art. has kept an interesting record
of the progress of the students who
have attended his school since it was
established here 81 years ago. These
records show that many of his grad
yates have attained prominence for
their artistic achievements, and risen
to conspicuous height in the art world.
Some of the outstanding artists of
today, both in fine and commercial
art. started their career at the Ma
tional School of Fine and Applied Art.
When this school was established,
in 1916, the demand for the COM
mercial artist was just beginning to
appear. Now there is such a con-
slant demand for artists for the ever
increasing needs for designs and
artistic productions in the various
industries that those who study art
in its several branches have no diff
ficulty in finding work in the many
fields available to the student who
will apply the same time and energy
to the study Of art as he would apply
to many of the less attractive occu-
pations.

BETTER PHYSICAL
TESTSARE URGED
Guard Officers Reported
Found at Schools With
Defects.

A more thorough and accurate
physical examination of officers of
the National Guard is urged by Mai.
Gen. Albert H. Blanding, chief of
the National Guard Bureau of the
War Department. Gen. Blanding,
discussing the service schools to
which National Guard officers are
permitted for instruction, said that
two officers were relieved from school
assignments for physical disability
and one officer and one enlisted man
failed to graduate owing to excessive
disqualification. Gen. Blanding said
that a number of physical defects
were noted by the examining sur
geons at the schools that had not
been picked up or. reported on the
preliminary examinations given the
candidates. He urged that adequate
steps be taken to insure a more
through examination in the Guard
units.
In connection with this announce
ment of schools, he said that steps
have been taken to 1naugurate this
year q new instruction course in the
various corps areas. 1t is designed, he
said, to provide command and staff
training for those officers who are
prevented because of business or other
reasons from attending special serv-
Ice school. In effect, he asserted, it
is an abridgement Of the National
Guard and Reserve Officers course
as now given at the command and
general staff school. 1t is a progress
sive course that runs two weeks a
year for three years. For fiscal rea-
sons on the one hand, he said, and
in order to test its Institutional value
on the other, it will be limited to two
corps areas for the first year.
Gen. Blanding pointed out. that
each year marks an increase in the
enrolment in the Army extension
courses.
Further dealing with the matter of
instruction of the Guard. he said that
requests are being received for addi-
tional instructors, and added that 1t
Is unfortunate that the National
Guard Bureau has been unable to
grant the requests even in cases OF
emergency. He pointed out that the
