until June 20, the first class OF the West
Point Military Academy will undergo
practical instruction with field artillery
at Fort Eustis, Va, with Air Corps at
Langley Field, Va, and with coast ar
tillery at Fort Monroe, Va.
For that purpose the class of 3l3
members will be divided into three
groups and the thirds will rotate be-
tween the three posts named every five
days. In past years the first class of
cadets has had coast artillery practice
at Fort Wright, N. Y, air corps in

posts has been made to obtain better
facilities for instruction and to avoid
the necessity for interruption of high

tillery practice there. Fort Eustis is
sufficiently extensive to permit field ar
tillery practice and the battalion Of the
10th Field Artillery at Fort Myer, Va,
has been sent to that post to provide
the instruction.
