FIFTH ORDNANCE COURSE AT THE TUCK SCHOOL

The fifth session of the Ordnance Training School course conducted by the Tuck School opened on January 14. The quota of seventy-five men authorized by the Ordnance department for this session have already been inducted into the service by the various local boards of their registration districts and reported to the school as men in the military service of the Government. Upon the completion of the six weeks' course the men will be transferred to Watertown Arsenal for a further period of training of approximately five weeks before being assigned to active duty. The course offered by the fifth session is similar to those previously offered. Twenty-four colleges are represented in the enrollment.

About 300 men have entered supply branches of the service from the first four sessions. The Ordnance department has authorized a sixth session to begin about March 4.
