corrections and not fault-finding.

The R. 0. T. C. was .organised .by
the government to trktp men to be
come ofheers in the reserve corps of
the U. S. Army. In this, they were
not only to get the di^ipline and
fundamentals necessary in the train

the intcresk nnd put U** *'p«p” into
his work when an offleei’ stands over
his company, and walks nround him

Trust the cadet officers a little
more end see if they will not respond
and help keep up the good name of

How many times have the company
officers been allowed to inspect their

what to expeef from each, and the^
punishment that^ should be awarded*
