mission BE Raised.

WARRINGTON, Oct 5--The Board Of Visitors
10 West Point for 1900 has submitted It's report
to the Secretary Of War. The board met at
West Point on June /, 1900. and organized by
the choice Of Gen. Charles +. Manderson as
president. Col Dudley Evans and Prof David
+. Houston, vicc-presidents. and Col William
c. Church. secretary.
The board reports as n result Of its examina-
ton and inquiries that the United States Mill
tary Academy Is in all its departments in a con-
dition TO commend it 70 the confidence OF the
President and the country and to the favor OF
Congress The high standards of zeal and de-
votion TO duty on the part OF the governing
faculty the officers and instructors. and the
studious application Of the cadets OF the Acad-
emy Is evidenced by the results obtained.

ton, whereby each cadet has an oppor-
tunty 10 familarize himself with the duties

The board considers II unfortunate that 80
much time during the first year ia Of necessity

and for the purpose Of obviatng this neces-
sty recommends that the standard Of admis-
sion be raised To inaugurate this change
the board advocates no definite scheme Of
requirements. but suggests that an arrange

Academv should be put force
The Secretary Of War should have control
over the conditions Of admission. thus making
1t possible 20 keep the admission requirements
constantly in harmony with the standard OF
preparation prevailing in the high schools
OF the country. and make at all times the best
adjustment between the requirements for ad-
mission and the course Of study pursued at the
Academy.
The BOARD recommends that the 800 de-
poSt required Of cadets admitted into the
academy be made obligatory. for experience
has demonstrated the fact that the cadet
who enters without making the deposit and de-
ponds upon his pay % reimburse the quarter
