tion OF officers. 1t provides for a board to ex-
anime officers and for the dlschsrge Of all
worthless aud inefficient officers, and for an
examination of the condition Of retired officers.
All officers who lose their places under the bin
are lltced upon list Of supefnumerariCs and
are permitted to resign with one years pay for
each eight years of service, or remain In service
to perform such duty IA they may be assign
ed to.
1t provides for the education Of non-commis-
stoned officers aud soldiers bv the commissioned
