An indication of the increasing inter- est taken by Reserve officers in their ob- ligations is seen in the fact that during the past four years the entoliment in these courses increased 66.6 per cent. The 1028-29 enrollment reached a total of 38,860, which is nearly 4,000 more than the enrollment for the pre- year. ‘The Infantry, with 12,151 lflld!nts had the largest enrollment, as trasted with an enrollment of 6,555 l.n 1925 26. The Field Artillery was second with 5,182, as compared with 2,855 in 1925- 26, while the Medical De- partment was third with an enrollment af 4,892 students, in comparison with an enrollment of 2,536 in 1925-26. Next [ The was the Quartermaster Corps, with a total enroliment of 2,411, which shows & decrease as compared with an enroll- ment of 2,416 in 1925-26. Almost all of the arms and services show a very marked increase in entoll- ment of students during the past four years, but three of the services, how- ever, exhibit a decreased enroilment. largest decrease is in the adjutant general's department, which last year had a registration of 306 students, as contrasted with 428 in 1925-26. The Military Intelligence branch enrolled 331 students in 1925-26, but last year this number had dropepd to 288. The Quartermaster Corps. which had 2,416 stydents in 1925-26, increased to 2,736 in 1926-27, dropped to 2,286 in 1927-28, and showed an increase in 1928-29 to 2,411, which figure is less than the en- rollment four years ago. ‘While the above figures show a de- gree of ir=:rest that is highly pleasing, they are not a full index of the amount of training that Reserve officers are getting from the correspondence courses. Less than half of the students enrolled in the correspondence schools complete one er- more subcourses in a given school year. In 1925-26 there were 11,- 976 students who completed a total of 15,972 subcourses, in 1926-27 13483 students completed 25,336 subcourses, while in 1927-28 there were 19,066 students who completed 32,403 sub- courses.- In 1928-29 there was a slight decrease, 18851 students completing 30,481 subcourses, which gives an aver- age of 1.6 subcourses to a student. This decrease in subcourses completed last year s explained by the fact that, owing to & shortage of funds, there was quite a little delay on the part of the War for the various courses. Col. Melville S. Jarvis, Infantry, senior instructor of the Organized Reserves in ‘Washington, approved last week the 1929-30 martlve duty training program of the 428th Infantry, Lieut. Col. West A. Hamilton, commanding, which regi- ment is the only colored Reserve !’E%\- ment in the District of Columbia. three Regular Army instructors who will have charge of the instruction during | the year are Lieut.

Every effort will be made to comment on papers submitted by students with the least possible delay, always within one week, permitting the student to progress as rapidly as his time and in- urest may dictate. Many officers of the civilian component of the service are in earnest but do not have the time to de- vote la n steady application to the ‘These cases will be ized but it 18 urged that all students con- tinue with their courses.
