manager by the throat and make him keep his hands

this rule gave was used In the most merccnary way,
and the assertion by the committee that player had

ONE YEARS INSTRUCTION.
Washington, Nov. 2o.-The forthcoming rcpom OF
the Board OF Visitors West Point Military Academy
Will contain paper read by General Low Wallace,
president Of the Board, containing Suggestions OF
changes respecting education both in the Army and
at West Point General Wallace says in part: One
cannot say that the Academy West Point Is above

the highest respect And wben In addition, inc

The undersigned Is not disposed TO stop with the
above judgment The very excellence Of the iDsd-
tuition compels 10 look beyond the academy, ana
insist that the system underlying all its good results
should DC extended 10 the whole Army Of the United
Statcs'
Among the reasons given by General Wallace for
the extension Is the nadeQuacy Of the academy to
provide for an adequate number Of graduates. lie
SAYS: General Grant said the number Of cadets ought
TO be raised to COO The opinion OF the wsest soldier
Of his day leaves little for debate except as to
how the addition should be made and 10 what cNch''
The proposition is not to multiply West Points, Du5
simply 10 extend the system of education and dis
ciplne to the whole Army. In that particular every
fixed post in the country, now or hereafter to be
established might be converted into a military
academy"
General Wallace enumerates fourteen essentials 10
the proposed reestablshment, among them tho
following: A of enlistment for 1--we years
courses Of education similar to those at the academy
company officers personal instructors of the men
