The R. O. T. C. in the Public High Schools A surprise greeted the cadets of Central High this September, when they learned that the government had taken control of the military training in the Cevcland high schools and that complete uniforms and military equipment would l e supplied them free of charge. It was an enthusiastic crowd that assembled in the gym the first week of school to be mustered into their respective companies and battalions.

McCollough was put in command of the first battalion, and Neil S. Frey was put in command of the second battalion. Mr. C. P». Lewis acting as head of the Dept, of military training and tactics of Central High School. The course of military training this year differs greatly from that of the previous year in that athletics as well as military science is a part of the required course. Cadets arc required to drill on only two days of the week, two regular periods constituting a drill day. One of these drill days is devoted entirely to drill, while the other drill day is devoted entirely to athletics. Military training was not inserted in the high school curriculums for the purpose of making sol diers out of the high school students but rather to teach them the value of discipline, co-operation and fair pla . The effects of this training is already evident. by the way cadets conduct themselves in school and outside of school. Old Central is as proud of her cadets as of her athletic teams. Lieut. Max Cohn
