0F.EGOM AGRICULTtTRAIj COI
LEGE, Corvallls. May 12. (Spe
cial.) Military drill at the Ore
gon Agricultural College, usually end
ing for the year with the annual mili
tary inspection by officers of the
United States War Department, Is not
only being continued this year, but. In
view of the war demands. Is consider
ably extended. In addition to the reg
ular noon-hour drill special classes are
held for instruction and training In
military tactics, many hours of labor
are spent In constructing trenches, sen'
tincl duty Is enjoined an J special
guarding Is required.
While all this work Is Koing on mem
bers of the cadet company and officers
of the college are much Interested In
the character of the forthcoming re
port of Inspection Officer Major Clar
ence B. Smith, of the Coast Artillery.
In the usual course of Government pro
cedure it could not be expected to reach
the college before the first to the mid
dle of the Summer, but under the pres
ent emergency conditions It may be
expected. Hope that the field evolu
tions, especially the extended order
drills, served to impress Major Smith
quite favorably Is Indicated In casual
remarks elicited by unofficial and In
formal Inquiries.
High Hating Is Expected.
Among other things was mentioned a
wish that the Inspection of the Oregon
College Cadet Regiment might have
been made earlier, as their work of
fers an excellent standard for com
parison. If the hopes of the cadets
are realized In the official report, the
college will receive the rating of "dis
tinguished college" Institutions. Many
advantages would accrue from such
classification.
Another factor considered Is the de
pleted condition of the regiment, due
to the heavy drain on Its personnel for
war and war Industry purposes. Not
more than three-fourths of the full
regiment appeared for Inspection. The
absent men were largely the senior of
ficers, whose place bad been taken by
newer officers just promoted and un
familiar with some of the finer details
of Army maneuvers. The call for men,
for both military and civil duties, made
by far the heaviest demands in the
ranks of the upper classmen. Whether
this fact is considered in the official
reports will not be known until copies
reach the campus, but members of the
regiment are generally hopeful that It
will be.
Value of Military Science Seen.
Lieutenant-Colonel Vernon A. Cald
well, commandant-of cadets at the Ore
gon Agricultural College, in his report
to the Inspecting officer emphasized
the Intellectual value of military
science In the college course and paid
a high tribute to the resources of the
land-grant college as a type of institu
tion for training officers for the Army.
These Institutions, he declared, by co
ordinating the technical training of the
engineer, the miner, the forester, log
ger, the scientific farmer, the dietitian,
chemist and expert In physical educa
tion give the student the most effi
cient training for service In the Army.
They teach him how to convert the re
sources of nature Into effective agents
for serving the Nation.
."The instruction for the year," said
Colonel Caldwell, "has been planned to
obtain a fundamental understanding of
tactics. The student has been obliged
to test his knowledge of any part of
the military training by stating def
initely how It helps to secure success
in combat. This method does not make
for spectacular results, but It Is the
very basis' of sound, progressiva mili
tary training."
Two principles have been followed In
the year's work. First, to require as
much real thinking In the study of
military science as In that of any other
college course; second, to promote the
Idea that every course at a land-grant
college has a definite military value.
Field Work Part of Tralmlmg.
Under the first principle tactical sit
uations and tactical methods have been
taught with great . thoroughness and
It- V"? v 2? x T-- -iJ-JI
If "i"'. ','' nxI
l : " '
ltw . - tu Uir- 'il
r. - .x . v i -j. - , j i
with the most practical ends available.
All theory is ultimately worked out in
the field. During drill hour a system
has been followed whereby one com
pany has Meen inspected by the as
sistant commandant, who selects stu
dent Instructors for graded field and
garrison training; another company is
similarly handled for guard duty; an
other for training in marksmanship,
and still another for engineering. The
other two battalions work under their
own officers at general training.
Under the second principle, the com
mandant says in his report: "The Im
portance of securing full recognition
from the other departments of the
land-grant colleges of the definite mil
itary value of their courses cannot be
overestimated In developing these col
leges as real schools for training Army
officers. On the other hand, the pub
lic, as well as the military authorities,
cannot appreciate too highly the serv
ices that these departments, efficiently
conducted, can render to the Army."
Eledrlral Department Aid.
Colonel Caldwell then points out spe
cific instances of the direct service of
many pf the technical departments to
military service. The electrical de
partment, for Instances, has a course In
signaling that goes as far as wireless.
The commerce school has a credit
course of instruction sheets that are of
distinct value to the entire military or
ganization. The course in camp cook
ery by the Department of Domestic
Science gives instruction In a funda
mental military subject. The various
engineering courses are giving direct
military instruction, and the course in
logging engineering is giving both time
and thought to the practical handling
of heavy mobile artillery and to rail
road work Immediately back of the fir
ing lines. The mechanical engineering
department is taking effective steps to
carry on practical work in ordnance.
The agricultural departments are vig
orously directing the production of food
supplies throughout the state. The de
partment of physical education Is
bringing Its instruction and its exer
cises Into direct application for mili
tary training, and is emphasizing the
tactical value of team work in college
games.
Laad Grant Colleges Pralaed.
Weeks before the declaration of war,
at the direction of President Kerr, all
departments of the Oregon Agricultural
College had rendered to the executive
office written statements giving their
judgment of the definite military value
of the resources of their departments.
"If the students at land grant col
leges," declared Colonel Caldwell, after
this formidable brief In behalf of these
Institutions as seats of training for
military officers, "were put on the pay
allowance of private soldiers say, $25
per month provided they made good
In their, regular studies. Including their
military training requirements, I be
lieve the United States would benefit
doubly in securing a better quality and
larger quantity of military training and
of vocational and technical training."
