I936, I937, AND I938 MEANING OF THE TERM HONOR MILITARY SCHOOL Each year a board of inspectors, composed of army officers specially chosen for the duty, make an inspec- tion of the military schools for the purpose of selecting the schools in the United States showing the highest total percentage on a rating sheet of about thirty subdivisions. Some of these subdivisions refer to highly technical matters in military instruction. However, the major portion of the inspection is based on matters about which every thoughtful parent, considering schools, is concerned, among which the following may be mentioned: l. ADEQUACY OF BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT. 2. GENERAL SANITATION AND CLEANLINESS OF PREMISES AND BUILDINGS. 3. NEATNESS OF UNIFORMSg CONDITION OF CADET QUARTERS AND PERSONAL EQUIP- MENT. 4, EFFICIENCY AND THOROUGHNESS OF MILITARY INSTRUCTION. 5. EXCELLENCE OF SCHOOL GOVERNMENT AND DISCIPLINE AS SHOWN BY COURTESY AND PROMPT RESPONSIVENESS OF CADETS. 6. JUDGMENT, INITIATIVE, AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPED IN CADET COMMISSIONED AND NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICERS, DEMONSTRATED IN VARIOUS DIFFICULT AND EXACTING TESTS. It will be noted that these are matters of fundamental interest to parents, separate and apart from mili- tary schools. The distinction of HONOR SCHOOL designation is much coveted among military schools. The schools inspected are located over the area from New York to New Mexico and from Minnesota and Wis- consin to the Gulf of Mexico. TENNESSEE MILITARY INSTITUTE is one of the schools selected for this distinction through the inspection of 1938, as shown in the radiogram quoted above.
