Statement Concerning Military Training in the High Schools of the District of Columbia By Stephen E. Kramer First Assistant Superintendent in Charge of Cadets E HAVE had a military organization in our high schools for more than forty years. Our organization is not part of the R. O. T. C., but it is afiiliated with the War Department under the provisions of Section 55C of the Na- tional Defense Act. This provision gives us a detail of army oflicers for instructors and grants us arms and equipment but does not give us uniforms and the full equipment granted under the R. O. T. C. Membership in the organization is a volun- tary matter: the school regulations provide that choice of enrollment be presented to every male student but the student is excused from enroll- ment upon the formal application of his parents for any reason which seems sufficient to the parents. We consider the military organization the most valuable student activity which we have. If we were without this organization in our schools, we should lack one of the best vehicles for constructive character building which we now possess. The organization which we have in Washington has been a gradual and natural development in our school system. It is inter- woven in the academic Iife of the school. The students come to leadership in this organization as the result of attainments in scholarship, re- liability and outstanding personal strength of character. The organization has always been entirely directed and under the control of the school au- thorities and school influence. Nothing has been allowed to develop in this activity which did not contribute to the general morale and effici- ency of the school. The highest ideals have al- ways been insisted upon and the traditions of forty years inspire the members of the corps to accept these ideals as their standard of action. The best type of our students are members of the corps and those who come to ranking posi- tions in their senior year are invariably the out- standing students of the school. We have found it a most valuable vehicle for discipline and the maintenance of a fine morale in the entire student body. I desire to empha- size the fact that we have developed this work as an activity interwoven with school life and not as an added feature. It is my own opinion that the success of this work has depended upon the schools accepting the responsibility of the direction of this training as an educational enterprise, AIRPORT ACCOUNTING Individual Instruction Enroll now and prepare yourself for the Industry of the future.
