In response to numerous requests from men who were at the Plattsburg Military Camp last summer, Captain Roger Dyer Swaim '01, of the First Battalion of Field Artillery, M. V. M., has arranged from school from volunteers who wish to train with a view to taking command of citizen forces, should and emergency call them into the field to defend the country.

The school will open in the Battery A headquarters at the South Armory this evening at 8 o'clock, and sessions will be held on evening every other week. The school is to be conducted under the supervision of Captain Robert Davis, U. S. A. field artillery inspector instructor attached to this district, with the assistance of Captain Swaim and Sergeant Colprice, U. S. A., assistant sergeant instructor. Several former officers of Battery A, including Lieutenants Robert Eliot Goodwin '01 and Norton Wigglesworh '05 are th help.

The requests for the course come mostly from former officers and privates of Battery A and form the Plattsburg men who took the artillery course there. The purpose of the school is to train men for officers of artillery and to give them practice in fire control and the handling of battery. The instruction in the armory will be with a terrain board and blackboard, and when spring comes there will be supplementary outside work. Anyone who has found that joining Battery A would take too much of his time and who has had some military experience may become a member by reporting tonight to Captain Swaim.
