and instructions Of commissioned
officers.
The committee appointed by the COM
pany to prepare scheme of this course
to submit to you, have been in consult
tation with Captain c. G. Morton. u. s.
A., and with his assistance have pre-
pared and hereby submit the following
list of subjects:
!. The legal duties and responsible
ties of the soldier under the military
law of Maine.
2. Discipline.
8. The employment of infantry fire
in battle.
4. Battle entertainments.
5. Advance and rear guards and out
posts.
6. How battle is fought.
Z. Care of the body in camp and on
the march.
This list has been made up with an
eye to the instruction of the rank and
file, but Captain Mortons suggestions
have seemed so good and his list Of
subjects of such a character, that 1t
has seemed to us that the lectures
would be of great benefit to any officers
of the Guard. and we propose, in case
our action is approved by you. to ex-
tend an invitation TO officers of other
commands to attend If they desire.
Col. William Fl. Fogler has already
signified his willingness to lecture on
the first subject and Captain Morton
has intimated that he would assist US
by lecture If We so desired. We have,
however taken no definite step but
await your action in the matter.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed JOHN BIRD.
