Tn response t<> communications receiv
ed by the department expressing con
cern \over this possibility. .Secretary!
of War Davis has pointed out that i
because of increased costs of main
taining the R. O. T. C. it has been
found necessary to limit the number
to be trained to that which can be
maintained with the funds and person
nel available. Mach corps area com
mander has been assigned a certain
quota to be distributed among insti
tution': in his area. After a thorough \
study of conditions at each institu
tion every effort will be made by
corps area commanders to give the
the maximum number of students the
benefit of R. < >. T. <training. It is
not expected that the study which
now is being made* otv this subject
will adversely affect any of the R. (>.
T. i units in Washington and vicin
ity. All of the local units are in a
thriving condition, and the sugges
tion has been made that those col
leges whose R. <i. T. training is
not over-popular should be discon
tinued. so that tho.se units in other
«ducationa! institutions in which there
i- a surplus enrollment could take
care of the students desirous of this
training. The result of this red tie-
R n study of the R. <a. T. C. will he
matched with extreme interest.
