EXAMINATIONS. .
Co Examination papers will be sent
to each officer to be examined on the
10th of each month OF the school year
The markings will be Satisfactory"
or Unsatisfactory" 1t is not the in
tention to make this school a hardship
and a burden, nor is it intended to
| hold officers to the text. That which
| is desired is, that officers should have
a pride in their positions as will cause
| them to devote the necessary time to
the requirement of all those essential
subjects demanded of them by their
| commissions
Officers who read thoroughly the
subjects given should be able to pass
satisfactory examinations. 1t is but
proper and just that he who studies
and has good knowledge of his du-
| ties should get the credit for the
same. and he who neglects to do this
should be reported as "unsatisfac-
| tory"
Therefore. at the end of the school
year. the instructor will report to
| the Adjutant General the standing Of
each officer as shown by his examina-
ton papers.
