.Become Reserve Officers
The new national defense act pro
vides regulations governing the train
ing of University men so that they
may become members of the reserve
I officers corps of the regular army.
When it becomes of full effect, cadets
at the University may elect a four
years' course that will result in their
being paid for their service in their
senior and junior years, and make
them eligible for actual service with
the army at the pay of second lieutcn-
' ants of the reserve.
The course for the first two years
provides for at least three hours per
. week of instruction in military scl-
'enee, a requisite that is met by the
drill requirements at the University
now. For the third and fourth years
the men would have to take five hours
per week, and serve at two camps to
fulfill the army requirements.
j This means that vne cadet camp,
j formerly enjoyed by the cadets but
i abolished several years ago, will have
to be given again. It will be optional
i with the men when they take the
camp, but at least two must have
been in their course before they com-
' plete the requirements.
i To Be Given Commutation
The law provides that when any
member of the senior division, under
, which the University would come, has
completed two academic years of serv-
, ice in that division and has been se
lected for further training, and has
agreed in writing to continue in the
reserve officers training corps for the
remainder of his course in the insti
tution, he may be furnishpd at the ex-
i pense of the United States, with com
mutation of subsistence, that is, he
I will be given cash equivalent to the
i cost of rations regularly served to the
I various army units in garrison.
! This means, according to Command
ant Parker, that the cadets in fhe ad
vanced years would receive approxi
mately $9 a month from the govern
ment. This fund will soon be avail
able for the cadets now in the regi-mr-nt,
and those who have completed
the requirements will be paid for the
time they have served since the first
of July last.
In securing this, the cadet signs the
following contract:

"In consideration of commutation of
subsistence to be furnishpd me in ac
cordance with law, I hereby agrpe to

The College World
IT PAYS
Statistics sometimes teach whole-
some lessons. A recent example is
: the survey made of 100 Kansas farms,
j According to the figures, the farmer
I with a high school education is mak-
ing 70 per cent more profit than his
! neighbor with only a common school
i education, while the college graduate
i is earning an income so much greater
j than that of either that he is frankly
in a class by himself. However much
' the public may be surprised to learn
! of such a wide divergence, their
amazement will probably not surpass
thai of the farmers themselves, who,
it is said, before the survey, had no
I idea that education could make such
, a difference in the value of agrleul-
to be one more practical answer to
he popular question, does it pay to
go to college? Christian Science

OHIO STATE MAKES BONDED
! . CONTRACT FOR WINTER'S COAL
! Ohio State University. Although
1 there mav be a shortage of coal this
winter, there will be no cold feet in
the university, for the authorities have
protected themselves against emergen
cy by making a bonded contract with
the Victoria Coal company of the Ath
ens county mines. This year the con
tract bond has been doubled, from
. $5,000 to $10fo00. Exchange.
OTHERS HAVE THEIR TROUBLES
TOO
e-'tation Is growing stronger in
some colleges and universities in
favor of abolishing chanel service. Re
ocMv at Syracuse only ten students
attended the chapel exercises, and this
rmber was made up of one freshman,
fo"r sophomores, and five Juniors. The
sen'ors were not represented. The at-
ing corps during tie remainder of my
course in Nebraska University, to de
vote five hours per week during such
period to the military training pre
scribed, and to pursue the courses of
camp training during such period, pre
scribed by the secretary of war."
When the unit of the reserve offi
cers' training corps is established at
the University, there will be issued to
each member of the unit this uniform:
One pair of olive-drab woolen breeches,
one olive-drab cap. one olive-drab wool
en coat, one pair of canvas leggings,
one set of cap and collar ornament,
one pair of russet shoes.
To those students who go to camp,
this additional uniform will be provld-
!ed: One service hat, one hat cord, two
j pairs of olive-drab cotton breeches,
and two olive-drab flannel shirts.
New Gun' to Be Used
It shall also be the policy of the
government to issue the latest model
of arms. This means that as soon as
the equipment is available, the cadets
will be supplied with the latest Sfring
field rifles, replacing the Krags now in
use. The Springficids are the same
calibre, but thpy have a much greater
velocity.
When the cadet reaches the end of
his college course, and still wishes to
continue in the array service, if he
meets every requirement of the gov
ernment regulations he will be al
lowed to serve in the regular army as
a temporary second lieutenant for six
months at a salary of $100 a month.
At the expiration of that time he gets
a commission in the reserve army
corps, and is subject to call within
ten years, in tim eof war. and he may
be called for a period of fifteen days
that may be extended, for service dur-
! ing peace.
Under the new plan the third and
fourth year of training will contain
more of the theoretical side of the
service than has been presented here
tofore. Instruction in the psychology
of war, the general principles of strat
egy, international relations and similar
topics will be given.
A few changes may be made in mat
ters of detail. The war department
suggests that the time of drill should
come before 4:30 in the afternoon,
while now the drill period is from 5
until 6. The strength of the com
panies here may have to be raised, as
under the new system, companies are
to contain from fifty-five to eighty
men. The war department discourages
bands as large as the one the Univer
sity has.
