-BAtTERY A. T F XAS A. AND M..
F. A^ R. O. T, C"
Th* rovemxnent, peco K m*ln* the
hi*h afficiency of the Texas AI and
M. iBflitary department, has placed
ua the class with Yale, Harvard,
and Cornell in collegfc^ military cir
cles. | Anyone who the oc
casion of seeing the work done by
the - Yale batteries knows that the
ptafcing of artillery R. 0. T. C. units
in these colleger is not an experi
ment, for it has been a great suc
cess at that college.
We know that as an infantry R. O.
c T. Q. college, A. and If. has won
national fame; it, therefore. Stands
| to reason that the work of our ar-
tiUeArnmits will maintain this splen
did record, and, from the way the
V men have started to work, them is
every reason to believe that the ar
tillery will excell the infantry and
signal corpa, if they don't watch
their step. G. O. 49, W. D„ 1910,
has been somewhat modified tyr Act
of Conirrem so as to allew the work
of training officers to be performed
in is much more efficient manner, and
on a larger scale. These amend-
* menu include provisions for a great-
, or number of officers, and non-eorn-
missionsd officers for detail at col
lages, and for pay of studenU during
‘ summer . ourses. With these efficient
officers, and several *f’Hto old men
in school < who held commissions in
* | tbs army as artillery officers, the
nucleus of 100 “Fish” are doinir
some real good work even though
most of if is assimilated at praton*.
_ _JBei»over,_<yie of these fine siring
mornings the infantry will ba dum-
founded by the sight of the artillery
doing rosso of those mysterious an-
I tics/ such as gun squad drill and Are
discipline, on real 9” guns.
It might be of sorsoj inters* to
enumerate just what the War Ds-
partment is going to send us. The
.! ftRowing is an extract from an
tacie taken from the January-lferch
1919, number of the Field Artillery
