O08, Well-conducted cadet, who falls by no attul fault of his own to pass an examination, but they always do set their faces aguinst the reappoint- ment of a cadet who fails because he wou'd not Close of the Examine‘ion of All the Cleses. STUDY VERSUS GENERAL KNOWLEDGE, A New Way to Mastera Diffi- cult Subject. Tho Report of the Board of Visitors and What It Will Be. YLAIN TALK AND 0 NONSENSE, Ws POINT, June 20, 1871. To the great relief of the members of the Board ‘Of Visitors, who have had the fortitude to remain here unttl all THE UNDER GRAt UATE CLASSES had been hauled over the coals by the examining professors, the annual excoriation came to an end this afternoon, I am sorry to say, however, that the second class will renew its studies next September with depleted ranks, owing to circumstances over which the “unfortunates” could have had control had they paid more attention during the past year t» their studies than they actually did, it may not be generally known that the examination of the second class is the Rubicon ol cadet Mie which, once crossed in safety, makes a blue coat and shoulder straps almost certain for every one of the next year’s gradu- ates, Chemistry is the great stumbling block of the second year, and the way the cadets manage to escape getting ‘‘found” on the subject oftener than they do is one of those mysteries which but few people can solve. The fact ts, the chemistry text books are very rarely studied thoroughly, and some of the instructors have such little con- fidence in themselves that in the examina- fuons they are like fish out of the water when they venture to catechise the cadets on “chim.” ‘Without the text books open before them. I hada conversation @ day or so ago wilh one of the cadets, ‘who passe: @ good examination, on the sudject:— “I didn’t read ‘chim.’ over once, let alone study 3t,”’ he exclaimed. hen now did you manage ?” “1 went in on general knowledge.” “Of what?” “Of chemistry, to be sure.”” “Wasn't that rather risky?” “It may be, but nine out of ten do the same thing Ani succeed.” “Supposing you were kept right down to the exact expianations as given in the text books?” “Weill, then the case might be different. That is tried on; but whena fellow goes in with a pretty good on the subject there ts very little danger of his bemg | tripped up so badly as to geta zero. Now as to the study of the languages the cadets nave to sutfer, “How 50??? “I say French, forexample, The cadet goes up Yo the blackbeard and is told to write out a sentence in French. He inadvertently puts a masculine a fective with a feminine noua, ‘That’s wrong,’ cries the professor, and the cadet is told to take ms seat.” “Where's the injustice in that?’ | “It 1s just here. We'll say the examination is demg held bejore a committee. When the Professor Bays ‘That’s wrong’ he avesn’t take the trouble to ®ay what is wrung about the sentence, but jots down his bad mark, and the other members of the ‘committee, who may not know Freuch, and, conse- guenily, are ignorant where the wrong Is, follow Bult, and, under the impression that the cadet has ‘essed’ badly, give him a zero,” 1 sunply give this conversation to show in the ‘Drst place how in some respects a cadet has to | @epend more upon his general knowledge than thorougn study for success, thanks to the hamper- Sng ways of some of the instructors, and in the Becond place how a cadet 1s often “zeroed”? when he doesn’t deserve anything of the kind, THAT OFFICIAL REPORT. ; Now that all the classes have passed through the | ‘annual overhauling, the Board of Visitors will be at | liberty to close up their report. What this report rwill be is the question which is already causing con- Biderable speculation, We all know what a Board of Visitors’ report nas amounted to every year for a long time past. It consisted simply of a few pamphiet pages giving @ dry account ‘of the examinations from day to day, a tedious euu- Qneration of ihe military exercises had, almost every aragraph Winding up With some fulsome qualifica- ion Ol praise. If any suggestions were made they | ere Inade tn such a tnlik-and-water way and about Buch minor sub,ects that, to use an Irishisin, they would have had more welght if they bad never een made at all. Last year, to be sure, there was sort of special board of visitors, im addition to the Peguat Board, composed of Congressmen and Sena- rs. Their appointment was looked upon as a move jn the right direction, and everybody who took an Joterest, inthe welfare of West Point predicted hat their report would hit every West Point nail squarely on aid the head, But what | it amount tot The old story of the moun- ain and the mouse over again, 1 bave been otherwise’ How could the report of ret how couid he Board of Visitors that were here with them ave been other than in was, or differed in any way from the praise-all style of its predecessors? Hadn‘t every Congressman and Senator on the special com- gmittee, and -hasn’t every member of the Board ; ‘of Visitors from year to year heretofore allowed | himself to be toted about free of cost to see the ights and enjoy nimeelf in every possible way that fhe Academy mapagers could invent for his enjoy- pent? Didn't each and every one of them accept 1 hospitalities rignt and left, break the head of this Mcer and drink the wine of that one, aud could it expected that any one of tiem could turn right around and FIND FAULT WITH ANYTHING fterwards? Of course not. Tuen, again, if the Board, or a few of its more active menibers, made | p thelr minds to drop into the mess hall at meal ime, ney always made certain to give timely otice beforehand, and acted with equal courtesy Avhenever they intended to look in upon apy otter place of interest’? in the institution. 1 do not mean say that anything was ever “fixed up’ or ichanged from its ordinary aspect so as to make he visitors leave every “place of terest’? vith @ very elevated opinion of its excel- | dence. Oh, no! Such things, I believe, have Deen heard of in great public institutions where the | Mniiitary has no sway, but could such things find favor at West Poimt, no doubdt every cadet who hakes his head ominously when you @udeavor to {pump lim as to the way he Itkes this, that or the ther thing, or as to whether some thiugs are made yeteur de rose While the Board of Visitors are hand, scouts the idea. Setting aside the present the suggestion made by member of Congress some time ago that Hictal visitors should be appolnted to drop in incog, pon the tstitution every once in awlilie and make sworn report upon all they could see, let us look t what the Board of Visitors of the present year | Bretodo. There are three members of the Board, I Bin happy to say. Who mean to break loose from the id aduiation business and take the bull right by the f In the first piace, they will not confine iit jorns. mselves to glittering generaliues and the mere narrative ol how “excellent? was such And such a driil, aud how this and that high person- age said iC was “very fine,” and all that; but they intend to criticise and press upon the attention of Congress, not merely suggest, changes in the management and conduct of the Inetitution which, had they been made three or four years ago, would fave made West Point what it was before the wat, @ sacred thing in the eyes of the people, Now, ‘what are these changes? ‘The first and most important one i# to make the suc- cess of a cadet and fis stay at the academy dependent solely upon his ability and the ‘way he conducts himself, To do do this it will be necessary to return to old times, customs, and SHUP POLITICS OUT ‘of the Institution. Lp addition, the Superintendent and the professors should have the final say as to Whether a cadet who 18 once expelled cag ever get again. How haa it been forthe past lew years? cadet would be sent away, A short time afterward he would beg to be allowed to return, The faculty, afier consultation, would determine that he showd pot be avowed to come b «1 behold | word wourd come from npn u the unworthy cadet must come a The irresistiole argument in tnatances Uke | Aus 18, that the cadets, who lave influence at court, always stand a change of beating the professors i fne .ong ron, Ho matter what they do. J auk if the 5 wit 18 NOt to destroy much of the influence of the i periutendent and his assistants, and render fi impossible thing in the corps. It's all folly to say THOROUGH DISCIPLINE ne faculty may oppress a well intentioned cadet, ho may be “found” in his studies, by refusing to ecommend that he be allowed stay at the Academy, Or that a court martial ven unjust to ny one of the “boys” who an be brought before It, The facnitv are always willing to give a really | ; to West Pomt and , given out. ‘Btudy, or Who shows such a bad disposition that his mingling with the corps aiterwards would only tend to weaken the force of their owa hold over those whom they are employed to instruct, ‘The sworn statements by severa oiticers of this post, when examined by the Congressional Com- mittee last winier in relation to the troubles of the first class, must yetgbe fresh In everybody's mind. They all went to show what a common thin; it has become of late years for Washington to send back to West Poimt young men that West Point had went away and didn’t waut. If the earnest remou- strances of the Board against this state of things have their due weight with Congress the principal Of the many things necessary to make West Point What It once was will have been attained, Next comes the question as to what ought to be done in the matter of putting more active men 1p the chairs of professors who are get- ting too old for weir places, ‘This certainly should be decided in a way that no one not immediately tn- ' terested can grumble ai. For fear I might hurt the feenngs of one or two nice old gentlemen, Who will make a stout fight of it rather than give up their positions tamely, 1 will say noth- ing about how and why a change m this respect would be tor the best interest of the Academy. Another subject which the report of the Board will treat of at some length, if the opinions of one of its leading members prevail, will be the better discipline of the inatitution—that is to say, What means Ought to be adopted to correct the very many abuses which have crept into the institution under the plausible cluak of liberality, The result will doubtless be, if the member I aidlude to has his Way about it, a new set of reguiations which will outlaw THE USE OF TOBACCO among the cadets and put an end to the furlough business, whicu has been of late—it 1 may be per- Dutted to use a homely expression—“run into the round;” that 1s, for the benefit ol those cadets who ave court influence. Now @ word as regards the otticers. 1 do not think the Board will have much to say about them, lor it would be a very delicate matter for them to touch upon. So long a8 the; are attentive to their duues, which know they always are, the way they may see fit to strat about and treat civil- Jans as thougii they were an iuierior race of beings 18 a maiter for themse.ves to regulate. Army ofMicers the world over, but more especially in our own republican ariny, strange to say, gel into the habit of considering everybody who does not wear a shoulder-strap a sort oi living thing which it is their mission in life to stamp oul of existence; so the con- tempt with which a civillan 1s overwhelmed at West Point may, afver all, not be particular to the place. Yet would it not be weil for those Wio have the power to do it to make the officers, Who are looked up to as exemplars by the cadets, change their views as to the necessity Of their own exisience in holding the world together? The cadets fre to become ollicers when their day comes and they will be certain to fol.ow in the footsteps of those who go before them. Until these views are changed civilians woo come here to stay a day or two Will continue to go away with the idea that the world we live in was made especially for men who wear shoul- der straps and for them alome, Most oi the officers who came 10 contact with the civilian suldiery during the war, and had their empty shoulder-straps made heavier tor brave deeds doue, are an exception to the general rule in this partcular, but they are une fortunately not vumerous enough to throw the “strutiers” mto the shade. In conclusion, let me add that if the present Board of Visitors do their duty faithfully the West Point of the fature will have Teason to be thaukiul. But to do so they must needs avoid the old ruts which threw previous boards oit the right track. Congress, judging from the temper oi the House, when it gave West Point aifairs such A LIVELY SHAKE | last winter,'will be in po trame of mind to be trifled with this time, Those meinbers of the Board who are mewbers of either House were appointed for a special purpose, and no amount of wiggling ought to prevent them from doing their waole duty, It will not do forthem to say as otber boards have substantially said before them:— “Gentiemen, We went to West Pomt; we saw, and STOCK OF GENERAL KNOWLEDGE | were, conquered with kindness. Everything was ly, Particularly the ladies. The dinners were very, very good indeed. As for the cadew and oflicers they were very gvod aiso, but as for the dis- cipline of the corps and the condition of the place as a military post, we really did not have time to \hink about such things; but from all the affairs told us we should think everything 13 iu ship-shape order. Under the circumstances the only suzgestion we have to make 1s that the appro- | priauion lor the institution should be increased some fliity thousand doliars. This will please every- ae at West Point and that’sexactly what we want to do. This kind of @ report won't go down any longer, and it fs high time that it was stopped. Frou all if can learn I feel certain that the present board, at least the really energetic men, who want tu do ther duty and do the insilmtion good by the —puggestions they will ask Congress to ‘ adopt, will avoid the old adulation road of their ‘The great mistake made by previous | predecessors. ourds was in thinking that they either had to praise everything or condemn everything, and they | chose the former as being the most agreeaple to themselves as well as to everybody else. To be just its management it 13 not hecessary thateveryiping should be suapped and sharied at by the board, What is good in it—and there is very much—cap be hearuly said to her credit, But the board should not hesitate, at the same time, to point out the abuses of the place and the way to remedy them. Tue only fear is that the dread of displeasing persons high in power by , allusions to certain mismanagemenis and certain | changes for the worse made in the system of | the iusutution during past years will deter even the present boaid from coming out boldly and giving their candid opinion as tu what they think 1s Wrong in the lustituuon, and how it should be made right, THE ENCAMPMENT, ‘The cadets wili go into camp to-morrow.

The annnal regatta of the New York Yacht Clup, which takes place to-morrow, will undoubtedly form 4n important epoch in American yachting. It will be the grand opening event of the season, and the interest which surrounds the initial trials of the several new yachts added to the squadron since last | year, and the number of magnificent prizes awaiting the winners in the different classes, are circum- | Stances to attract the attention of not only all yacht | men, but every one who loves a grand nau- tical spectacle. The excitement among the owners of the fleet is almost at its height, and hardly ever in the yachting annals of the club has the work of preparation been carried to such an extent as now, and it Is fair to premise that the fleet was never in better sailing condition. Old favorites, such as the Magic, Palmer, Dauntless, Sappho, Idler and Phantom, are all in good trim, and it 1s certain their owners witl not yield the laurels they have won to any of the new comers without a@ tively struggle. Great expectations are formed of the latter yachts in their racing clothes, and the hope is general that they may have favor- ing winds to test their respective sailing qualities. The docks far and near suited to the work of rais- ing such vessels, for more than ten days past have been in constant use, and scores of artisans engaged | to do the work required before regatta day, The entries for the various prizes at alate hour | yesterday afternoon embraced the leading yachts of the fleet, with prominent and known yachts from sister assoctations—the latter intending to compete for the magnificent and valuable subscription cups. These are as follows:— club Prize for Schconers,—Tidal Wave, Madeline, Wanderer, Alarm, Columbia, Idle Sunshine, Magic, Dauntiess, ‘Tarointa, i Alice, Fieetwing, Sappho, Palmer, Halcyon, Ciubd Prize jor S.oops.—Breeze, Gracie, Ariadne, Addie, Vixen.

Already fifteen or more of the larger steambouts that ply in these and adjacent waters are advertised to accompany the contesting yacnts, while hundreds of spare craft, both steam and sail, will be brought ito requisition to take part in the aquatic festival.
