At the end of the White course all trainees not considered officer material will be eliminated from further advance- ment until- fully qualified. Mere at- tendance at a White course does not entitle a trainee to attend a Blue course, | and for technical arms the necessary technical education will be required. Several cases have come to the atten- tion of the War Department of Blue- course graduates who were either not recommended for commissions because of the lack of required educational qual- ifications, or after having been commis- sfoned the discovery was made that they did not have the necessary educational qualifications to carry out the duties of an officer. In view of this, no trainee will be admitted to a Blue course who does not have both the educational and physical requirements for a commission in the Officers’ Reserve Corps. While the War Department desires a larger percentage of Blue graduates commis- sioned in the Reserve Corps, it does not desire to reduce the standard in any The various courses in which the young men of Washington will be en- rolled for the approaching Summer camps and the qualifications to be met to be enrolled therein are described as follows: The basic course provides pre- liminary physical, mental and moral training, including bodily development, athletics, drill, rifie marksmanship, first | course is nevertheless well on his way to a commission in the Officers’ Reserve Corps. To qualify for the Blue course a candidate must be between 19 and 31 vears of age: he must possess a high school education or its equivalent, and he must have personality. appearance, tact, bearing and general ability to fit him for the future duties of an officer, satisfactory completion of the White course or its equivalent in military training. A warrant officer or an en- listed man of the Regular Army, Na- tional Guard or the Enlisted Reserve Corps will be qualified to take the | course, provided his application has the | approval of his immediate commanding officer. | _Pleld Artillery Reserve officers of | Washington will meet at the Fort Myer | riding hall today at 9 o'clock for in- | struction in equitation under the direc- tion of Maj.
