apply to those who have taken the trairmg as to those who have
not." * ' > -

higher posts if they so desire.
Advanced students will >be called foi service only if they have

missions every five years ,

of the Committee—“if for no

from its efFoits and join the Alu

The lettei sent to Hibshman and
