THE BATTALION
Staff Officers
Discuss Functions
Major Sloan called a meeting of
all the Staff Officers last week and
discussed with them his plan of
commanding the Corps through a
process of de-centralization. “That
is,” he said, “To get the higher com
manders and their staffs instructed
in the specific duties they are to
perform. In the past years it has
been a custom to neglect most of the
functions that should be performed
by the Regimental Commanders and
the various Staff Officers of the
Corp. Too much work has been done
by such individuals as the Corps
Commander and the Battalion Com
manders. These Commanders are
supplied with a staff to assist in
carrying out the various duties and
responsibilities assigned their res
pective offices.”
“Now that we have three Regi
ments, with a Lieutenant Colonel
in command of each, the Corps
Commander should de-centralize the
operations so that each Regimental
Commander will be responsible for
his own Regiment. The Regimental
Commanders, in turn, should de
centralize the operations to the Bat
talion Commander, and so on down
until the order reaches the individ
ual for whom it was originally in
tended. The mechanism used in this
de-centralization should be the var
ious Staffs.”
“When work is properly distributed
no one is overlooked, but when one
man attempts to do too much or
to reserve to himself too many de
tails, the entire organizatipn is clog
ged.”

The general scneme is so arrang
ed that when the Cadet Colonel re
ceives an order concerning the var
ious organizations under his com
mand, he will not have to go look up
the individual, but .will pass the
order on to his sub-ordinates and
they deliver the order personally.
This will give all the members of
the Staffs a specific duty and will
further the betterment and organiza
tion of the entire Corps.
Prohibition was intended to save
the country and generations yet to
come. There are a million boys grow
ing up in the United States who have
never seen a saloon, and who will
never know the handicap of liquor,
either in themselves or their rela
tives; and this excellent condition
will go on spreading itself over the
country when the wet press and
the paid propadanda of booze are
forgotten.
The coming of prohibition has put
more of the workman’s money into
savings banks and into his wife’s
pocketbook. He has more leisure to
spend with his family. The family
life is healthier. Workmen go out of
doors, go on picnics, have time to
see their children and play with
them. They have time to see more,
do more—and, incidentally, they buy
more. This stimulates business and
increases prosperity, and in the gen
eral economic circle the money pass
es through industry again and back
into the workman’s pocket. It is a
truism that what benefits one is
bound to benefit all, and labor is com
ing to see the truth of this more
every day.—Henry Ford.
