Cadet Corps Reforms
Suggested 10 Bring
It's Membership Up

The spring term will see a num-
ber of reforms in the high school
Cadet Corps setup, school officials
said yesterday.
Top on the list is the freeing Of
military science instructors from
activities not related to cadet work.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning has
suggested to each high school prin-
cipal that these instructors be freed,
as much as possible, of their other
duties.
Military science instructors are
not appointed to the schools as
such, but must be qualified teach
ers in some subject.
New Shoulder Patch.
School officials and cadets also
are developing a new shoulder patch
which would be worn on the left
sleeve of each uniform coat to des-
ignate membership in the corps
Each school is studying suggestions
for shoulder patch at present.
Norman j. Nelson, first assistant
superintendent, said he hoped to
have all the suggested designs in
hand by this week for final
decision.
The reforms are result of efforts
by school officials, CADETS and par
ents, as well as organizations out
side the schools, to get the member
ship of the tradition-loaded Cadet
Corps up to sizable number. Flag
ging interest in recent years has re-
duced the number of cadets to a
point where operations were han
dicapped.
Other Suggestions Made.
Among the other suggestions made
by DR.. Corning to the high school
principals were: A cadet school OF
one hour a week in addition to the
regular drill periods; course III
map and aerial photograph read
ing; increase in craftsmanship
training and firing on the ranges
and setting up of cleaning tables
so cadets could have handy place
to keep rifles in repair.
Many OF these things are in ex-
istence in a number of schools in
varying degrees, school officials
pointed out DR.. Corning's formal
suggestions to the principals were
made to recapitulate suggested addi-
tiors to the present cadet program

In one of the most remarkable
presentations in this section of
the country in many years, twel-
We year old Jimmy Osborne, bril-
liant young British concert plan
list, will appear in the Auditorium
of Roxbury M e mortal High
School, cor. Warren and Deckard
ST., Friday evening, Jan. Z, 1949,
at 8 PM.
The story of young Jimmy Os-
borne reads like a modern day
fairy tale. Born in London of ord
mary working parents, he wand
cred to a piano when little more
than 2 years old, and to everyone's
surprise stood on tiptoe and play
ed popular theme song he had
heard on the radio. At three years
of age he had already composed
several selections.
When the Germans raided Lon
don, Jimmy was crouched in a
bomb shelter begging his parents
permission to be allowed to go
home and play the piano for the
duration of the raid. 1t was in
London that members of the Unit
ed States Air Force found the
talented youngster. They pre-
sented him many times at per-
formances for the soldiers and
when they left they assured him
that he would have an opportuni-
ty to visit America and play here.
He came here through the efforts
of these Air Force friends.
Jimmy, remarkably enough, is
blind. He has had no sight since
he was few weeks old. In spite
of this handicap, however, his
piano work has been so outstand-

ing that he has been highly prais-

Templeton, himself blind, and
Arthur Rubinstein, the great plan
ist-conductor. This talented
youngster plays folk songs, spiri-
tuals, classics and semi-classic
music. At present Jimmy is a stu
dent at the Perkins Institution
for the Blind in Boston.
The appearance of the young
pianist here marks one of the few
times that he has been heard
since his arrival in the United
