By MILTON R. KENTON (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. Number of students taking R. O. T. C. military training at U. S. colleges, acad- emies, and high schools has increased 20 per cent in the last two years, and totalled 186,750 men in the academic year just ending, according to a study of the current status of military training in U. S. schools, by Northwestern National Life Insurance company. Less than 1 out of 12 universities and colleges in the United States offer military training 136 out of approximately 1,700 schools of college grade. Yet, 116,309 collegians at these schools received senior R. O. T. C. instruction during the year 1939-4The great majority were the basic two-yecourse taking however, during the month of June, 9,099 men were graduated from the four-yetraining course, qualifying them for Reserve Officer commis- Millions Visit Library In 1939, 3,653,552 visited the New Fifth avenue.

When the United States entered the World war, our reserve of officers numbered only 2,900; it now numbers over 103,000, thanks largely to R. O. T. C. student military training, the study finds.

Meanwhile, at 138 public or private secondary schools and 42 military academies, 70,441 youths received junior R. O. T. C. training, under U. S. army officers, during the school year just ended. Of these, 126 were public high schools; the remainder were private high schools and prep schools, both civilian and military, but all with junior R. O. T. C. military units. Chicago has the largest junior R. O. T. C. unit in the United States; 7,634 regular cadets are enrolled at 27 high schools in that city. In addition, 1,516 freshman students take R. O. T. C. training at their own expense the war department provides .only for the cost of training second, third, and fourth year high school students. The Detroit high schools unit is the second largest in the country with 2,280 cadets, and the Dallas' high schools unit is a close third with 2,250 junior R. O. T. C. cadets enrolled. Compulsory Military Training? In view of current proposals for compulsory military training in U. S. schools, certain figures given in the study are of interest. R. O. T. C. training was changed from a required subject to an elective at the University of Minnesota in 1934; enrollment in the cadet corps fell from 2,484 in the preceding school year to 497 in the 1934-3- 5 school year; numbered 565 men in the 1939-4- 0 T. C. ceremonies. academic year recently completed. Approximately half of the 136 colleges and universities having R. O. T. C. training make it a required subject for the first two years anc offer it as an elective for the junior and senior years; in the remainder it is on a voluntary basis. It is a required subject at all of the universities which have the larger R. O. T. C. units. But in the World war years of 1914-1the number of U. S. higli schools offering military instruction and the number of students taking it increased many hundred per cent, the study shows, and then tobogganed rapidly again when the war to end all wars was finished. In 1914, only 75 public high schools in the United States giving' military' drill, of a sort, with 8,702 students enrolled. By 1916, just be fore Americas entry into war, the number of schools giving military training and the number enrolled for it had approximately trebled, to 224 schools, and 24,433 cadets. By 1918 it reached a peak, with 1,265 public high schools in the United States giving military instruction to 106,986 boys and to 5,697 girls! The num- 8, ms Lydia E.

Salt Lakes NEWEST HOTEL forests for the first time this year has recently been announced by the forest service, U. S. department of agriculture. Tests made by the forest service on the Chelan National forest in Washington last fall with a crew of parachute jumpers indicated the practicability of dropping fire fighters from airplanes to put out small fires in some of the inaccessible areas of the national new radiophone has The forests. been developed so that the smoke-jumpcan keep in touch with the plane pilot and with his headquarters when he reaches the ground. The smoke jumpers use a specialhas a ly designed parachute which rate of descent of about 12 feet per second and permits a certain amount of steering toward the landing spot. A special chute harness and protective suit and headgear were also developed to so protect the jumpers that they can land almost anywhere at any elevation in tall trees or open spaces, or on rough ridges. Jumpers who went down into stands of young lodgepole pine last fall christened them featherbed landings because the young pines will catch a parachute readily and absorb most of the shock on their bending, swaying tops. In order to facilitate descent from tall trees, the jumpers carry a coil of light, strong rope. A small number of complete units of equipment have already been purchased, the forest service reports, and these will be used to train back-count- ry er ..y-- Pedersen (left) and Jane Hughey (right) add enthusiasm to Chicago junior R.

Planes which deliver the parascout the fire on chuting their first trip over the spot and drop a small test chute with a sand bag to determine wind drift. They then circle back and make a second approach, at which time the parachutist descends, and by using the steering flaps on his parachute, generally manages to reach the ground close to the selected landing spot. On a third approach the pilot drops the kit which is carried down by a burlap parachute with a yellow streamer attached to prevent its being lost a method used by the forest service for some years to deliver tons of equipment to back The burlap country chute pack contains necessary tools, kit and the like but rations, first-ai- d the parachutist will carry with him the new lightweight radio so that he can contact the pilot or his headquarters immediately if necessary or can make reports later.

Same in Secondary Schools. The same general story is true of private secondary schools during the same period, the study shows. In 1914, 86 prep schools were giving military drill to 6,835 boys; by 1918, 474 boys schools were giving military instruction to 28,893 students and 65 girls schools were drilling 2,639 girls in military formations. By 1928, this number was back to 116 prep schools offering military instruction, with 16,528 cadets taking it. Thus, the report points out, in 1918, at the peak of the war effort, a total of 1,739 public and private secondary schools were giving military training to 135,879 boys, and by 1928 the combined total had fallen to 366 schools giving military training to 63,608 boys. The study points out as a matter of comparative interest that today approximately 180 public and private secondary schools in the United States are giving war department-supervise- d military instruction to more than 70,000 cadets, compared with a combined total of 161 public and private secondary schools in 1914 which were giving military drill, in many cases of a very sketchy nature, to 1928 only 250 public 15,537 boys. number of private military academies were not included in the 1914 figures, and private military academies not under war department supervision are not included in the current figures, the report points out however, the comparative growth in number of military trainees would not be greatly changed, could the additional figures be 'obtained, the study states, because a direct checkup of comparative attendance at 41 military schools which furnished the insurance company with their 1916 and 1938 enrollment figures showed an increase of some 250 per cent in average attendance. New Units Desired. The war department has applications now on file from universities, colleges, high schools, and prep schools for 50 additional senior R. O. T. C. corps and 111 junior units. None have been added since the fiscal year of 1937, as no funds have been available for the purpose since then. Annual cost of the R. O. T. C. runs about $11,500,000 a minor item in our gigantic defense budget, the study points out. Of this, $5,000,000 goes for uniforms, equipment, and general expense of operation, and 6 million dollars for salaries of the army officers and noncoms detailed as instructors. University and college R. O. T. C. men who elect to take the advanced course third and fourth years receive about. $175 in pay from the government during their two years of study, plus free transportation to and from a training camp, plus all expenses while at the camp.
