Show Military Training Discussed. Whether the city board of education bound itself to compulsory military training train-ing in accepting the government's offer for establishment of a branch of the junior R. O. T. C. in the high schools, was questioned at the meeting when a resolution was offered to make the ruling of the board identical with government regulations. Since information as to whether the government regulations include compulsory compul-sory training for all boys of 14 years or over was not at hand, the point went over upon the request of W. J. Barrette, in which he was joined by John C. Howard. Superintendent Ernest A. Smith later declared that, so far as he knew, the regulations do not compel training for more than the necessary 100 boys required re-quired for the smallest unit which the government would establish. Mr. Barrette Bar-rette declared himself unalterably opposed op-posed to making the mililary training universal uni-versal for students of all ages. The board referred to the committee on teachers and school work selection of j a supervisor of music to succeed Squire Coop, resigned. |
