At the January examinations at West
Point before the Academic Board thirty
nine cadets failed and were dismissed.
1t is the largest number on record as
falling. The fact proves either of two
things, perhaps both, that applicants
cram for the occasion, were not origin
ally qualified, or that the examiners ap-
pointed to pass upon applicants in the
first instance were incompetent or neg
hgent. The result proves one thing.
however, Enthusiastically, that the STAN
dard maintained at West Point is high
and the tests TO which cadets are sub
jected are undiscriminating. and that
the Government is demanding and ex-
acting excellence in it's officially edu-
Gated officers. But Ii must be very hu-
initiating to the Congressman who nom
mated the thirty nine dismissed cadets
to learn that their appointments went
for nothing.
