ARMY EXTENSION
COURSES LIMITED
Guard Urged to Permit Only
Qualified Enlisted Men to
Enroll for Study,

While the War Department Is en-
couraging members of the militia to
take advantage of the many corre-
spondence or extension courses in
tended to improve their military train
ing, and particularly in the case Of
enlisted men. to provide the ground
work for promition to officers, 1t has
nevertheless found that many are en-
rolled who are unsuited for the courses
and never would make good ofIicer
material.
As matter of fact, it was said, OFF,
GERS are desirous of showing the high
caliber of the men in their command
and have supported the enrolment of
many of them in the courses. The
War Department says that the en-
rollment of whole I units in these
courses is neither authorized nor de-
sirable.
In the matter of courses for enlisted
men. desirable men are to be encour-
aged to take the courses and so perfect
their military knowledge that they
will not only be able possibly to get
commissions in their own State or
ganizations as they develop, but they
would fit themselves for promotion by
commission in the service in time Of
national emergency.
The courses are expensive and the
department does not desire that en-
listed men be enrolled unless they are
thoroughly qualified to profit by the
hard work which is expected of them.
These courses involve a considerable
amount Of study and work over and
above the time the men give to
During the past year, it was said,
even If q man Is qualified by prior
education to profit by the course, IL he
is unable to give the minimum time
required to carry out the full course,
his enrolment Is not desired.
During the past year. 1t was said
11.811 officers and 1929 enlisted men
were enrolled in the correspondence
school courses. This. 1t was said, is
regarded as very fine showing on
the part of the Guard officers and en-
listed men, and the high value Of the
courses to those who apply themselves
has been fully demonstrated.
