MILITARY EDUCATION.

(From the Examiner.)
The attention of the House of Cotnmons will be
directed on the 11th inst.. by Sir De Lacy Evans to
this extremely important and interesting, but by
no means easy question.
The two idt as of a British officer and an educated
professional man have been so systematically dis-
connected in the public mind, that it has be-
come an up-hill task to bring them together, now
that the exigenc'es of the country make it indis-
peosable that they should .be dissevet.ed no longer.
Ignorance—ignorance even of the science of war,
has long marked our army for her own. • It seems
never to have entered into anybody's'head even to
teach the young military idea how t-) shoot. Phy-
s'cians and surgeons had their colleges, and were
duly trained before they were licensed to kill by
rule, with a

Dignus, dignus, est intrare
In nostrodocto corpore.
But as to academic eduCation for red-coats, it was
no mote thought of than for plush breeches. One
moiety of •our officers considered themselves above
instruction ; and the public considered the other
moiety scarcely capable of it. I-fence it was that
feathers, whiskers, red cloth, gold lace, and cigars,
became the chief ingredients of the popular notion
of a captain, or a colonel ; and a little- more lace,
or scarlet, or an additional feather in his cap, is
a'l that is ordinarily required to raise the concep-
tion to the rank of a general, or, a staff-officer.
Error on this subject possess:os of a strong
post. We have only, therefore, to sit down pati-
ently before it, and be satisfied with the slow ap-
proaches, sure, however, eventually to give the
-victory to common sense.
We are not a military nation in the sense of
maintaining. a large military force ; but if we re
quite an army at all, we ought to be prepared to
pay military subjects the attention necessary to
make our army as efficient and complete as possiblt. '
Iu fact, the smaller the scale of our military eatab-
blishments, the greater pains it is incumbent on us
to bestow upon our military administration. The
problem we have to solve is pretty ranch the same
that Cains Marius proposed to himself on being
app)inted to prosecute the Jugurthine war--
bellum parare, simul, et cerario parcere."
This leads us at once to the fundamental ques-
tion of the ,crea.tion and encouragnnent of a class
of educated and scientific officers. • The efficiency
of the army will follow from the efficiency of the
men holding the highest offices in it. How, then,
is that efficiency to he provided for? The Com-
missioners of Inquiry into the systems of the con-
tinental armies appear to us to have recommended
a large but a simple plan. They express no wish
to interfere with the education of our great public
schools. On the contrary, they consider that very
juvenile military education is a serious evil ; and
their view is that until the age of 16 or 17 the
fittest places for young men intended for the profes-
sion of arms are the ordinary public schools of the
country ; it being of course desirable, as much for
the arno as for other walks in life, that the counie
of instruction in such schools should be as advanced
and enlightened as possible. The Commissioners
then recommend that a short but strict military

merely because he considered promotion upon that
principle as a matter of comse, whatever educa-
tional system the council of officers might rec'lm-
mend. Lord Palmerston's st:►tement of the object
proposed may be accepted,—" to secure to the
army men of skill in their profession, with their
minds disciplined, and their facult'es improved by
study and training.".. This is. unqueitiorrlbly the
object ; but there is vast room for error when
we come to the methods of securing it, and

,
the Government will commit the greatest error of
all, if they flatter themselves for a moment that it
is to be secured in any other way but through the
vigorous :springs of emulation and competition,
which are utterly irreconcilable with promotion by
purchase, er promotion by favour. Lord Pawnure
ha; already, greatly to his- cre'lit, sanctioned the
principle we'e oatend for in the Ar it ery awl tha
Engineers. He cannot consistently refuse t apply
the same system to the army in general, but espe-
cially to the Staff delartment, the proper head and
brains of the service, where the highest and most
A: titivated military talents and attainments ought to
be found. •
This is a subject which it is particularly incum-
bent on the House of Commons to watch with the
utmost vigilance. It. is quite as much a question
of retrenchment as of reform. If a small force in
the highest state of efficiency is to be our national
policy ; if the -estiroates.are to be low and our mili-
tary pciwer still formidable, these conflicting condi-
tions are only to be brought into harmony by new
modelling our artily after the best examples.
The policy we speak of is totally incompatible
with the exclusive and aristocratic character of our
present military establishments. As long as that
character subsists, we shall never' have such an
army as the country wants, an army sufficient for
our military requirements, yet not too great either
for our views of economy, cr our well-founded
notions of freedom. In our eyes, moreover, it is a
great recommendation of the principles which we
contend for, that they naturally and powerfully
tend to open the British army, from its lowest to
its highest grades, nay even the proud gates of the
Horse Guards itself, to the youth of the miidle
classes, or in other words, to the.people of Eng-
land.
Another essential point, to which we have not
yet adverted, is the constitution of a Board of Mili-
tary Education. Such a Board ought to include
some civilians, and ought obviously to be inde-
pendent of the Horse Guards and, the Government.
Its chief functions would be to direct the different
military schools and regulate the examinations.
