The board of visitors appointed by the President to attend the anaual examination at }» Military Academy at West Point. in June last, haye submitted their report to the War Department. and it will be laid before Congress at its pext sessio1 By law it was made the duty of the board to examine into the a. i i fairs and other concerns of the Academy. and fall reports upon each of those subjects are made. The system of discipline prevalent at the Academy is highly com- mended, and the personal knowledge of the superintendent respecting the habits, conduct and capacity of officers and cadets is pro- nounced surp i ingly minate, and without being oppressive ur tyrannical, and conse- queatly repulsive, is made to exercise a con- stant and powerful influence over both. ‘The Board was pleased with the long-exist- ing practice of reporting the conduct and class. standing of each cadet monthly to his friends, but would have been giad to find more evi- dence that the labors of the academic authori- ties were seconded by influences from home, and that no cadet 1s allowed to fall beiow the mr asnre of his abilities for want ef such in- spiration, made doubly necessary by nis long separation from his family. The introduction and gradual extension of the system of enlarg- ed privileges as a reward for good conduct is declared to be working very well. Instruction at the Academy is carried on un- der general direction of the Superintendent and the special supervision of the professors, assisted by army officers disting wistted for their attaiumects in the special branches they are severally detailed to teach. The division of the classes into eections, each in charge of an, assistant—the professor, proceeding from sec- tuon to section, imparting the benefit of bis riper knowledge to both teachers and the taught—preduces & uniformity of attainment hot o'herwise possible, and is deciared to be one of the best features in the system. The blackboard illustrations and recitations of the cadets command high praise and attest rehension of their subjects, and the iaithfaluess and ability of their in- structors. A marked deficiency in elegance and even facility of utterance was, however. found to exist, and more training in logic. ci postion and criticism is considered as exceed. ingly desirable. This and other deficievcies is charged to the Jow standard of qualifications for admission. While praising the attaiaments of the cadets in foreign languages, the Board thiuks that equal attention should be given te our own. Constant additions to the scientificapparatus are advised, and the collections of illustrations of natural bistory, zoology and mineralogy being found to be very far below what is mr quired, a plan for their enlargement and provement is recommended for adoption. Cou petitive examinations as the basis of appoint- ment to the Academy is also suggested. ‘The separation of the chaplaincy from the rotessorship of ethics is recommended by the joard, as it has been by all their predecessors for many yea ‘The Board consider the proposition made to abolish the course of ethics, which has long been distasteful to the cadets, altogether as in- Admissible; but its useful continuance is re- garded as dependent upon reorganization. In drawing it 1s advised thst more time be given to draw from nature and less time to mrcbanical copying. An interesting chapter of the report is devoted especially to the signal and telegraph drill; the application of these auxillaries to military operations, and the al- most wenderful combinations of one with the other, as illustrated by the cadets, exciting the admiration of the Board. ‘The place of the grounds and buildings, with the exception of a want of underground drain- age, is pronounced, after general observation, confirmed by minute examimation, to be excel- lent in every respect. The superintendent's administration of the varied concerns of the Academy, zealously aided by his staff officers, is as nigbly com- mended by this as by tormer Boards of Visitors. ‘The fiscal affairs of the Academy are report- ¢d upon very favorably. ‘The cadets’ hospital is large enough for the ordinary wants of the Academy, is well kept, but needs more light and a better system of drainage than cesspools beneath the bailding The library contains some twenty-three theusand volumes, chiefly scientific works pertaining to the studies pursued at the Acad- emy, but with a judicious infusion of biograph- ical and historical works. Ir conclasion, the Board express their opin- ion that however nearly the Military Academy may have met the wants of the past, it does not, in view of our national growth, the place we have taken among the nations, and the Progress made of iste years in the science and art of war, meet the requirements of the pres- ent, as the one military school of a great nation, and that it should be raisee to a stan- abroad. They therefore recommend that the Academy be greatly en. larged. the number —- ils , and two separate courses of study pursued—one in a general ciass for all the cadets, the other class formed by the selection of the from the other class—the general class to be limited to a thorough comprehen- sion of the elementary principles of the art of war; but the special class to be limited only to = boundaries of Euowledge upon that suo- ject. Other changes are suggested as —- upon the adoption of this proposed is of reorgapization, reaching among other things to tprm of & portion of the graduates io each y to civil life, and to an entire change in the system of promotion in the army.
