L CADET NEAR Military Plan Establishment by Board Is Expected. 3 MEMBERS FAVOR STEP Jtlr. Ijocknood Reticent in Expres sion of Views and Mr. Plummer . tiives Conditional Assent Issue to Be Passed On, Thursday. Barring reversal or opinion, the plan for the establishment of voluntary mil itary training: In the Portland high schools will be adopted at the next reif iilar session of the School Board Thurs day, October 21. J. V. Beach, Dr. Alan Welch Smith nd M. O. Munly are strongly in favor of the plan and S. P. Lockwood. who has just returned from California, is non-committal, preferring to wait -until other members of the Board have been consulted before he expresses an" opin ion. Dr. Smith, who with Mr. Lockwood comprises the teachers' committee to which the matter originally was re ferred awaiting; a report, has strontrly recommended the measure, which indi cates to a degree the position of Mr. Lockwood. O. M. Plummer, the fifth member of the Board, says that he is not radi cally opposed to the plan but considers that no particular benefit will result from its adoption. In his opinion the physical instruction gained in the hi(eh school gymnasium gives the best train ing. Mr. Flummer Gives His Views. He is not opposed to the plan If the Tooys are able to take the instruction outside of school hours, but according to the plan as drafted by Adjutant General White, of the Oregron N'ational Guard, a recommendation is made that not less than two or more than five periods a week from 40 to 60 minutes each be set aside for the military in struction. In case the instruction is Kivcn outside of school hours and at the Armory or a similar place, Mr. l'lummer is not averse to the plan. Members of all the patriotic organ izations in the city are strongly in favor of the military instruction of the fcicrh school students. Mrs. Alva Lee Stephens, the official head of the parent-teacher associations in Portland, thinks that military in struction Is not only of itself injurious to the mind of the pupil but considers that the money spent for the installa tion of the system could be used to bet ter advantage. Four Companies Are Planned. According to the plan as drafted by Adjutant-General White, there is prac tically no expense attached to the es tablishment of military instruction in the high schools. His plan provides I hat the cadets themselves be the own ers of the uniforms and as there will be at first no drill in arms there will be no equipment required. General White also recommends that -the cadets be come the owners also of their arms as soon as that stage of the instruction is reached. Instruction will be given at first by one instructor and as many non-commissioned officers as the cadets wish and their services will be free of charge. When they have been fully organized a paid instructor will be fur nihed by the School Board. ileneral White's plan provides for four companies with a minimum of 65 members and a maximum of 111, In Addition to these four companies a band is also proposed, making the total number of cadets in all the city high schools approximate 450, should the maximum number be reached. RELIEF FUND IS CONTINUED Temporary Arrangements for Kaf her Schooner Believed Near. Solicitation for funds for the relief f Father George Scloener, who lost nil his property by fir last week at !Brooks, is bein c carried on by the Chamber of Commerce committee and it Is expected that enouprh will be se cured this week to make temporary arrangement for him until something permanent can be planned. ' It is hoped that arrangements can bo made to briny him to Portland and to establish him permanently on an experimental f&ra near here, so that the reaulta of his works may be for tho benefit of this state. California ha been trylngr to g-et him, as he la regarded as the equal of Luther Bur bank as a worker in the development of new plant species.
