tant discoveries made and still making in this

means of rjreserving the health of the soldier in

4The Board is induced to make these remarks
from having had before them a late order of the
Gommanaer-inf Chief, containing? regulations'
sanctiened by you, which, if applicable 16 this
t Academy, would seem calculated toanect: very
materially the instruction ot tne uadets. it ap?
pears to them that the regulations-requiring al
officers who have not served ith thelirl regi
ments for three; years, to join their' iespecfive
corps, as it will remove nearly all the -Assist
ant Professors from the Academy, would be "at
tended with Very great inconvenience; at any
time j arid at this period, when the 1 Superin
tendent, who lias so loiif presided ever this in
stitution with $uch signal ability and success
is about to retire, such a change would seriously
embarrass his" successor. 1 This embarriksrrieni
will be increased by the effect of the femati6h.
which takes from the superintendent the; power
of nominating the officers to be detached for that
service. He is supposed, from his situation, to
be better acquainted than any one else with the
acquirements add moral character of' the gradur
atesand as the responsibility rests with'himi it
appears but just! that he should have the Power
of selecting hisj Assistants: Itis deeni&j im.
portant,'that tHe couise of studies : should be
steady, and keep pace with the improvements
which daily takp place in the progress of cienc.
This would le impracticable nf the Assisiant
Professors were frequently changdd and selected
rom officers who had graduated prior toL the in'f
'troduction of thelimprovemients no at taught i in
this institution throughout every department of
science. Indeed, it would appear advisable that,
the Professors ahd Assistant Professors, who
have evinced sojmuch capacity in ;im'pattingtn
8traction to yoilth, should be offered every! in-
duccmeut to remain, by beiug permanently: . at

dets exhibited their, proficiency iri Pyrbteehny,
and theygubseqriently saw them throWj jsBtells
and fire at the target with light and heavy pie-
ces of Artillery ;j all which they executed ith
a precision rarely! equalled, and not surpassed in
any school of practice in Europe. ' f -f" t
This is the more remarkable from the "stateof
the pieces used for practice. They are very de
fective, and the Board recomniendjtuat the'sev--eral
pieces of Ordnance which are requirod lor
the instruction of the Cadets by their able and
scientific instructor, should be furnished of the:
best quality and most approved constructions.! v '
Much credit is due to the officer charged with
the instruction of the Cadets in this department.
He has compiled a practical treatise on Military
Pyrotechny,and translated an excellent elemen
tary treatise on the torms of Cannon and Various
systems of Artillery and anot r on the Theory
and Practiced Gunnery, from the French of
Professor Persy i f Metz all of which, with nu
merous plates illustrating the subject have been
published in the .Lithographic Press in the Acad
emy. , f -
The Cadets are encamped two months in eye-!
ry year, and during that period are instructed in
all the duties of the soldier in active psefvice,f in!
the use of instruments, and in the application of
the different branches of science necessary 'to a
knowledge of their profession ; whether this
practical course of the application of science to
the purposes of Military and Civil Engineer
ing may not be usefully extended is worthy of
consideration. - ' i 1 1
