' if 'f' M wij:,',,f.-if:f-Tgffzlfart MANLIUS 25 Manlius has also been made a part of the Reserve Ofiicers' Training Corps. This gives our graduates certain privileges in the matter of being commissioned in the Officers' Reserve Corps of the United States Army. They are not, however, under any obligation to accept such commissions. The Manlius Battalion, Reserve Ofiicers' Training Corps is organized as a battalion of Infantry, composed of Battalion Headquarters, three rifle companies, one machine gun company and a band. ' The War Department provides us with U. S. Springfield rifles, latest model, with accessories, latest model Browning machine guns, automatic rifles, 37 millimeter guns, 3 in. trench mortar and accessories, field service equipment, and signal equipment. An Army oflicer and non-commissioned oflicer are detailed to the school. Three inspections a year are promised by the War Department in order to encourage the school to maintain the highest state of military efficiency consistent with the maintenance of the educational side as a thorough-going and strictly preparatory school. I-Iorsemanship To those cadets who desire instruction in horsemanship, We offer exceptional opportunities to become expert in this most valuable branch of military education. It is intended, and promised, that very high standing will be maintained, not only in instruction, but in the quality of mounts, which are the best obtainable for the purpose, carefully selected and trained. Not only is horsemanship considered a valuable form of physical exercise, but it is encouraged because it is a graceful and useful accom- plishment. In this branch the opportunities for physical development are unsurpassed. This form of outside exercise reacts most healthfully on both body and mind and acts as a stimulant to the maturing boy. Benefit of Activities In the multitude of activities shown here it will be seen that we have something to interest every boy, and the more he can be encouraged to get into this life the better his rounding out. No sport, recreation or military activity is permitted to interfere with school tasks and the time and occa- sion for all duties is so well laid out that there is nothing to distract the mind of the boy from his studies. We require a boy to take his recreations
