SCHOOL OF EQUITATION
URGED FOR WARRENT0N
Col. CASTOR Would Remove Branch
of Army Institution From
Fort Riley.

The school Of equation of the Mounted
Service School at Fort Riley. Kan,
should be transferred to Warrenton, Va,
in the opinion Of Col. Joseph A. CASTOR,
commandant Of the school, expressed In
his annual report just received at the
War Department.
In recommending the removal Of the
school to Virginia, where 1t would be 'in
horse atmosphere and among good
horses" Col. CASTOR points out that the
Virginia climate is much better for keep
ing horses. ''as the climate Of Fort Riley,
with its sudden changes. is very danger
Gus to horses that have to do fast work. :"
Moreover, he urges that all present equip
ment of the school Is needed for post pur-
poses at Fort Riley, and SO the expense
involved In the transfer would not be
great. "as the cost of the necessary land
in Virginia would not be more than the
amount now considered necessary for the
school at this post"

interest in eouitation. and keep every
thing about their stables up to a high
state of efficiency. The question of the
advisability of building officers quarters
could be taken up at a later date. but 1t
would be better before moving the school
to provide new stables, riding hall, shops,
paddoeks, quarters for enlisted men, adj
ministration building and veterinary hos
pital."
Capt. Guy v. Henry, 18th Cavalry. in
charge OF the school Of equitation, in a
report which Col. CASTOR includes In
his annual report, has hard things to say
about Kansas as a horse-raising coun-
try. He writes:
THE horses received during the past
two years have developed into but fair
animals. l am not prepared to say that
this is due to the animals not being
originally of any too high q class do
feel sure, however. that this climate is
very detrimental to the proper develop
ment of young horses.
1T is an extremely hard climate on
them. Two years is usually required be-
fore they become seryiceabie after arriv-
ing here. A horse of flrst-ciass confor-
nation should. however. be originally OBJ
tanned. Many of those heretofore re-
ceived do not fulfill this requirement.
