HIGH SCHOOL DRILL PLAN IS SET FORTH Under the Direction of Mary Delaney Fisher The Celebrated Chicago Fashion Authority L'.M -y Tue Quality' Stoc of Portland Trie Quality" Stork of Portland Proposal Calls for Forming Four Companies and Band of Student Volunteers. Promenade des Toilettes of 18 HPhp DRAFT OF SCHEME GIVEN Army and National Guard Officers to Asis( Instruction With Arms AVouId Take Place . , . at .Local Armory. A plan for the establishment of vol untary drill instruction in the Portland high schools -was submitted yesterday to the teachers' committee of the School Board by Adjutant-General Georse A. AVhite, of the Oregon Na tional Guard. The full draft, as com piled by General AVhite, is printed at the authorization of Dr. Alan Welch Smith, chairman of the teachers' com mittee. Complete knowledge of the proposed instruction has not been obtainable heretofore and some prejudice has de veloped, on the supposition that the move was purely a military measure. . The movement has as a purpose not only miltary drills, but also the teach ing of "military topography, orienta tion and map-reading, signaling, field fortification and camp cooking." Other requirements, according to General White's draft, will be teaching of "mil itary courtesy, obedience and disci pline, international law, first aid to the injured, hygiene, care of the person and care of the feet on marches, and camp sanitation." Four Instructors Required. If the plan of military instruction is adopted by the school authorities, the organization will require the serv ices of four skilled instructors in mil itary science. As soon as the organi zation is complete additional officers may be required to give further in struction. The plan submitted is the result of study covering a period of several months on the part of General AVhite. The complete draft is given below: In accordance with the verbal re quest of members of the teachers' com mittee of the School Board, I am sub mitting herewith details of the plans of organization of a cadet battalion in the Portland high schools. Organization. Personnel: Students who agree to adhere to all rules and regulations gov erning the organization as authorized by the School Board four companies of cadets of a minimum strength of 65 and a maximum strength of 111 stu dents. In addition to the above, there should be one major, one first lieuten ant and battalion adjutant, one second lieutenant battalion quartermaster and commissary, "one battalion sergeant major, and two color sergeants (to be appointed by the School Board upon the recommendation of the military in structors). . This would give the high schools one band (optional) and provisional bat talion of cadets consisting of 450 stu dents, provided the maximum strength were reached. A separate company could be provided later at the fifth high school, should this be desired. Jefferson High School band (op tional) personnel: One chief musician, one principal musician, one drum major, four sergeants, eight corporals, one cook, 12 privates, total 28. Jefferson High School Company A Personnel: One captain, one first lieu tenant, one second lieutenant, one first sergeant, one quartermaster sergeant, eight sergeants, ten corporals, to be selected from senior and junior-year students: one artificer, two musicians, two cooks. S3 privates, to be selected from sophomore and freshman - year students; total 111. Lincoln High School Company B Personnel: One captain, one first lieu tenant, one second lieutenant, one first sergeant, one quartermaster sergeant, right sergeants, ten corporals, to be selected from senior and junior-year students: one artificer, two musicians, two cooks. 83 privates, to be selected from sophomore and freshman - year etudents; total 111. AV'ashington High School Company C Personnel: One captain, one first lieutenant, one second lieutenant, one first sergeant, one quartermaster ser geant, eight sergeants, ten corporals, to be selected from senior and junior year students: one artificer, two musi cians, two cooks, 83 privates, to be se lected from sophomore and freshman year students: total 111. Franklin High School Company D Personnel: One captain, one first lieu tenant, one second lieutenant, one first sergeant, one quartermaster sergeant, eight sergeants, ten corporals, to be se lected from senior and junior-year stu dents; one artificer, two musicians, two cooks, 83 privates, to be selected from sophomore and freshman - year students; total 111. Uniform. Cadet gray is proposed; same will cost approximately $10 complete, cost to be paid by the cadets. If a cheaper uniform were desired by the School Board the cotton olive drab service uniform could be provided for ?4.30 upon authority from the AVar Depart ment. The cadet gray is regarded as most satisfactory. Equipment. for the early stages of the instruc tion work arms will not be required. At a later date authority can be grant ed for performing drills with small arms in the Portland Armory. In the event the cadets should desire to ac quire their own pieces it would be necessary for them to form schoolbov 7-ifle clubs and purchase same through the National Board for Promotion of Itifle Practice. Instruction Period. Not less than two nor more than five instruction periods per week of 40 to BO minutes each are recommended. Subjects. Tnfantry drill regulations, including school of the soldier, squad, company and battalion: military topography, orientation and map reading; signal ing: field instruction; individual cook ing in the field. Conference Military courtesy, obedi ence and discipline: international law; first aid to the injured. Hygiene Care of the person; care of the feet on marches: camp sanitation. Capable instructors for perfecting the organization of these cadets will give their services without charge. One officer and as many non-commissioned officers as may be reqxiested for assist ants will be assigned temporarily to each cadet company for instruction purposes. I'pon completion of the organization nnd preliminary training of the cadets it will be necessary for the School Board to provide a permanent paid in structor, as the work will then have progressed to such a stage that one competent instructor, in conjunction with the officers and non-commissioned officers of the cadet companies, could carry the work forward, al though such officers of the National Guard and United States Army as might be requested from time to time would give special instruction without charge. Should any of the cadet comoanies o aesire, at a later date, special in struction could be given at the Armory in the coast artillery work. Officers of the cadet companies who might desire special instruction could, if they wished, be attached temporarily to Na.tional Guard companies for spe cial instruction. ' Winlock Streets Improved.

And the car descended in a hurry. I didn't blame the elevator boy very much, though because some whiffs are too tantalizing for words and the whiff one gets on the ninth floor of M. & F.'s is decidedly one of them. It brings up visions of grandmothers and big aprons, and Saturday mornings and youngsters with their hands and mouths full of gingerbread and cook ies and you know all the goodies of "those days!" But I give you fair warning don't go up there unless you've at least a dime in your purse or youll feel worse than the elevator boy. Every thing smells so good and looks so tempting you just have to have some of it especially after you actually see it mixed and baked! I saw some big pans of bread large, golden-brown loaves and the best-looking cakes and tarts, light and fluffy and tempting. You didn't have to imagine that they were made of highest-grade materials and under ab solutely sanitary conditions you could see that for yourself! There was the most curious mixture of "home-madey" smells and materials with professional flavors that only the most expert bakers can obtain! Withal, that ninth floor is a most fascinating place judging from the number of shoppers there Avere lots of people who found it so besides 7TTXrL V-
