Common Faults.
10. The universally common faults of the
volunteer militia are ignorance of p,ard
duty and total lack of observance of the
forms of military courtesy. The greatest
attention will, therefore, be paid bv off,

with the hand. If unarmed; the rifle
saiute IS prescribed for individual soldiers
with arms, except ,sentine;s VINO salute by
presenting arms Officers must scrupui-
ously acknowledge all salutes Men and
o1ncers must remember that the prescribed
salute IS an act OF courtesy, not an act of
servility. and that whatever may be their
relations in civil life to their superior offi-
GERS. they have voluntarily surrendered
those relations while on military duty, and
the surest mark Of their intelligent appre-
citation of the work in which they are en-
gagged is ptlnctilieus observance of all the
forms that experience has proved to be es-
sentfal to discipline.
II. The commanding general trusts that
the discipline, good order and desire on the
part OF the men for instruction, which
characterized former encampments of the
National Guard, will be a marked feature
of the camp for this year.
1s The object Of the camp is instruction
In military duty, to which all else must be
subordinate: but in their hours off duty
the men will be permitted to enjoy them
parades, disorderIy conduct and shouting
will not be permitted.
TO- 1t has required persistent effort to
induce Congress to appropriate the money
for the expenses of the camp of instruc-
tion. Seventy-five per cent of the asgre-
gate strength of the brigade is the least
attendance that can justify the expendi-
ture. Amy company that has less than this
average attendance in camp will be dis
banded, unless 1t can be shown on thorough
investigation that special and proper rea-
sons prevented 1t.
