WEST POINT MILITARY ACADEMY
The Superintendent Reports 1T in n
FIOurishinE Condition.

FIOurishing Condition.
Washington, Oct. A.-The military acad-
envy at West Point is in a hourishing con-
dition according to the annual report to
the war department of Col. Ernest, super
intendent, who says it is passing through
an era of improvement SO far as its equip
ment and outward physical conditions are
concerned, due to the greater liberty of
congress in recent years. The curriculum,
both theoretical and practical, is the result
OF many years experience, and has proved
itself well adapted to the objects of the
institution. Improvements in that direction
are less rapid and less radical than in the
other, but there, also, the academy is ad-
vancing, as will appear from a perusal
Of the appendices already referred to as
attached to this report. The professors and
officers are accomplished, each in his
sphere and devoted in their work, and de-
serve well of the government.
The number of cadets this year, 1872, in
Guiding one foreigner, receiving instruc-
lions by special authority of congress, is
the largest ever belonging to the academy
at one time. The recommendation is re-
neWed that senators be allowed to appoint
two cadets-at-large from each state,
thereby increasing the number of cadets.
The health of the command during the
year was far from satisfactory. There
were epidemics of influenza, malarial few
ers, measles and whooping cough. There
were several cases of appendicitis and
other desperate diseases. Only one cadet
died. An abundance of good healthy food
in sufficient variety was furnished at an
average cost of So cents per man per day
Clothing, books and other articles are Sc
cured at low rates, except in the case of
drawing instruments, which each cadet
had to purchase. These cost $685. or
more than half a months pay. Col Ernst
said: 1.-THE instruments are imported,
none of suitable quality being made in
this country. The duty upon them is So
per cent. Neither the quantity nor quail
ty should be reduced, and the price is as
low as it can be made if the custom house
duties are paid. Legislation is recon-
mended renting the duty"
