 OFFICERS OF OOLOEED TROOPS. 
 
 The edition of eight thousand of the Prospectus of the 
 Free Military School for Applicants for Command of Colored 
 O Troops, established by the Philadelphia Supervisory Com- 
 -J mittee for Recruiting Colored Regiments, issued 28th 
 c( December last, having been exhausted, and the interest 
 »• felt in the subject being unabated, a second edition has 
 O become a necessity. 
 
 When the Government adopted the policy of organizing 
 colored troops, it constituted a Board of Examiners, whose 
 duty it is to examine all persons, whatever their rank, who 
 make application for commissions in that branch of the 
 public service. Major-Gexeral SILAS CASEY is the 
 permanent President of the Board. The other members 
 of the Board, consisting of two Colonels, one Lieutenant- 
 Colonel, one Surgeon, and one Lieutenant, who is ex officio 
 the Recorder, are changed from time to time, according to 
 the exigencies of the public service, but the President being 
 permanent, the utmost regularity and uniformity of exami- 
 nation and decision are secured. 
 
 Up to December 26th, one thousand and fifty-one appli- 
 cants had been examined; of these, five hundred and 
 sixty were passed, and four hundred and ninety-one were 
 rejected. 
 
 The applicants are first examined in Infantry Tactics, 
 Army Regulations, and in regard to their general informa- 
 tion. They are then turned over to the Surgeon for physical 
 examination. If found capable, they are recommended to 
 the War Department, to be appointed to such positions as 
 they have respectively been adjudged competent to fill. 
 Every candidate stands upon his merits — the most obscure 
 corporal or private stands an equal chance with the most 
 
 \> 
 
 O i^'v^OO
 
 favored and influential citizen. ' No recommendations, how- 
 ever lu;ili. arc regarded as any compensation for lack of 
 qualilieations, and while the best testimonials that can be 
 oflfered are the evidence of faithful and competent military 
 service in the field, it is not to be understood that actual 
 experience in the service is an indispensable pre-requisite. 
 A large number of the successful applicants have had no 
 such experience, having but recently left the school, the 
 college, the desk, farm or workshop, and by a few weeks' 
 diligent study of the elementary books, fitted themselves 
 for command, as Lieutenants or Captains, and in some in- 
 stances as Majors and Lieutenant-Colonels. 
 
 THE QUALIFICATIONS KEQUIEED. 
 
 First, the applicant must be j-tJnjsicalJy sound, in order 
 that he may endure the required service, and not neces- 
 sarily fail in the discharge of the duties of his position, and 
 soon become a pensioner upon the bounty of the Govern- 
 ment, without the possibility of equivalent service. 
 
 If a Lieutenant, he should understand and be able to 
 explain the elementary principles laid down in Casey's In- 
 fantry Tactics, as found in the school of the Soldier, Com- 
 pany and Battalion. lie should comprehend the duties of 
 sentinels, guards, &;c., as contained in the Army Regula- 
 tions. He should know all about Cluster and Pay Kolls, 
 Descriptive Lists, and how to keep Ccunj)any books. 
 And withal, should have at least such education as can 
 usually be obtained at a common school. The range of 
 study for this grade is exceedingly moderate, and the 
 position is attainable by any bright young man having a 
 fair common school education. 
 
 I/a Captain, he must po.'^sess all the qualifications pre- 
 scribed for a Lieutenant, but must be more thoroughly 
 
 1
 
 posted, and should be proficient in Battalion movements, 
 and have a better general education. 
 
 A Field Officer is examined as closely in regard to ele- 
 mentary principles, as a Captain or Lieutenant, and is set 
 down for the position of Major, Lieut. Colonel, or Colonel, 
 according as ho shall show himself additionally q-ualified 
 for the superior position desired. A field officer should, 
 in addition to his own peculiar duties, understand the 
 duties of line officers, and be able to instruct them, if 
 deficient. 
 
 The Colonel of a Itegiment should be a gentleman of very 
 superior qualifications. He should be capable of giving 
 exact instructions in the entire system of Infantry Tactics, 
 as authorized by the War Department, known as Casey's 
 Tactics, in three volumes. He should be master of the 
 entire subject of Army Regulations, so far as tlie same 
 relate to the duties and business of a regiment, and should 
 withal be a man of rare spirit, industry, and executive 
 ability. He should be able to detect, instantly, the errors 
 of all officers under him ; should be able to impart instruc- 
 tion to all, and to decide correctly on the instant, all ques- 
 tions referred to him. 
 
 No talents, no zeal, no sympathy for the colored race, 
 unless attended with military knowledge, and power to 
 command men in battle, can avail ; and no amount of pre- 
 tence or number of testimonials of inQuential friends will 
 answer the purpose ; the applicant must give reasonable 
 evidence of his ability to command. If pretence without 
 merit, or zeal without knowledge, or mere recommendations 
 of personal and political friends would be sufficient evidence 
 of fitness to command, an examination would be an idle 
 and useless ceremony. It is the obvious duty of the Board 
 of Examiners to select the best officers possible from those 
 who come before it.
 
 THE URGENT NEED OF OFFICEES. 
 
 Now, that it has hecome the fixed policy of the Govern- 
 ment to use Colored Troops to a large extent, its efforts to 
 organize regiments are seriously hampered by the want of 
 competent officers to train and command them. Up to 
 26th December last, about forty-seven per cent, of the appli- 
 cants for command have been rejected for lack of knowl- 
 edge. Of these three hundred and seventy-two, (372) were 
 officers, privates, or non-commissioned officers from the 
 army, and most of this particular class, and very many others 
 from civil life, would have passed the Board and obtained 
 commissions, if they had, under an efficient teacher, de- 
 voted a few weeks to the study of the principles and details 
 laid down in the books on Tactics and Army Eegulations. 
 
 The rejection of so large a proportion of the applicants, 
 particularly of so many earnest and brave soldiers who 
 have stood the shock of battle, has doubtless deterred num- 
 bers from offering themselves for examination, and it is 
 feared that a general but unjust impression has been made, 
 both in the army and in the public mind, that the examina- 
 tion by the Board is too severe, and that few, but those 
 who have enjoyed a collegiate education, or have actually 
 commanded troops in the field with credit, can pass the 
 Board. 
 
 Nothing could be further from the fiict. Whilst the 
 Board properly insists that the applicant must show true 
 knowledge of the principles of tactics and capacity to com- 
 mand men, and tahe good care of them, and whilst it inllexibly 
 rejects all who fall short in these essentials, the Board de- 
 plores the stern necessity which compels it to reject good 
 men, particularly soldiers whose deficiencies might be over- 
 come by a few weeks careful prei)aration. With the 
 knowledge of these facts, and in order to meet the increased 
 demands for officers to command Colored Troojis, The 
 Philadelphia Supervisory Committee for Recruiting Colored 
 Regiments, at the suggestion of the Board of Examiners at
 
 "Washington, has established a Free School for Military 
 Tactics, in its Building, No. 1210 Chestnut street. The 
 Committee has secured the services of well recommended 
 and experienced of&cers, officers and professors competent 
 to faithfully instruct applicants in Infantry Tactics, Army 
 Regulations, Mathematics, and thoroughl}^ prepare them 
 for successful examination. The School is amply sup- 
 plied with books and everything necessary to its com- 
 plete organization. The Committee invites young men in 
 civil life, ivlio are physically sound, and especially privates 
 and non-commissioned officers in service, who may aspire 
 to command colored soldiers, to avail themselves of the 
 facilities which this free military school ofters. 
 
 Camp William Penn, the largest camp existing for the 
 organization and disciplining of Colored Troops, is in the 
 immediate vicinity of the city, of easy access at low rates 
 of fare. Arrangements have been made with Colonel 
 Wagner, Post Commander, by which Students of this 
 School, upon the recommendation of the Preceptor, will be 
 allowed to sojourn temporarily at the camp and exercise 
 the functions of officers, in assisting to drill and train the 
 Regiments that may be organizing there. 
 
 The superior comforts and cheapness of living, remarka- 
 ble in Pliiladelphia, offer special attraction to all who may 
 seek the advantages of the School, and especially to those of 
 moderate means. Good board can be had at from $3 50 to 
 §5 per week. 
 
 The Committee trusts that its efforts, by means of a Mili- 
 tary School, to provide what the country so urgently needs 
 at the present time — namely, applicants competent to be 
 officers in the Colored Regiments — will be handsomely re- 
 sponded to by the spirited 3'Oung men of the country — by 
 those in the army, as well as those in civil life, and that it 
 may be able to speedily furnish the Board of Examiners a 
 sufficient number of applicants well-grounded in the knowl- 
 edge of tactics, and otherwise fitted to command troops, 
 who may pass examination and thus largely relieve the
 
 8 
 
 War Department from the ;jrrcat pressure now existing for 
 officers to organize and train the hosts of colored men now 
 seeking to enter the service of their country. 
 
 The foregoing prospectus of tlie Free Military School, 
 was published December 26th, 1863, on which day the 
 school was opened with two students (both of whom are 
 now Captains in command of colored troops), under Joiix 
 n. Taggakt, late Colonel of 12th P. R. Y. C, and up to 
 the present time the applications for admission have been 
 sixteen hundred and ninety-one — much the larger portions 
 of which have been from soldiers in the hospitals, on fur- 
 lough, or in the field; forty -six of these applicants have 
 been rejected for the self-evident want of education on the 
 part of the applicants; eight hundred and two of the 
 applicants are defective, not being accompanied with testi- 
 monials of good character, and otherwise irregular, and 
 have been referred back to the applicants for correction ; 
 the remainder, viz., eight hundred and forty-three, have 
 been passed on affirmatively. 
 
 Of the latter class, four hundred and twenty-two are 
 now, or have been on the rolls, the rest are on their way to 
 the school from the difterent sections of the country in 
 which they reside, or, they are soldiers in the army before 
 the eneiny and are waiting at the present time for furloughs. 
 
 The Committee has persistently urged the War Depart- 
 ment to grant furloughs for a brief period, to select num- 
 bers of intelligent, educated and well recommended 
 soldiers now in the field, in order that they might partake 
 of the advantages of the school. The Department, after a 
 thorough consideration of the subject, has concluded to 
 allow such facilities to this class, and has issued the fol 
 lowing order:
 
 "General Orders, ) "^^'-^^ Department, 
 
 [■ Adjutant Gen.'s Office, 
 No. 125." j M^ashington, March 29, 1864." 
 
 " Furloughs, not to exceed thirty da^^s in each case, to 
 th^ lion-commissioned officers and privates of the army 
 ■who may desire to enter the Free Military School at Phila- 
 delphia, may be granted by the Commanders of Armies and 
 Departments, when the character, conduct and capacity of 
 the applicants are such as to warrant their immediate and 
 superior commanders iu recommending them for commis- 
 sioned appointments in the regiments of colored trooj)s. 
 
 " By order of the Secretary of War. 
 
 E. D. TOWNSEND, 
 Assistant Adjutant General^ 
 
 Official : 
 
 The rapid influx of students, from the hospitals, the 
 army, and from almost every section of the country, vary- 
 ing from eighteen to forty-eight years of age, and from 
 nearly every profession, trade and calling, has been highly 
 gratifying to the Committee. Increased accommodations 
 and additional preceptors in the different branches of study 
 were promptly provided to meet the large increase of the 
 school. 
 
 By table No. 4, it will be seen that many of the students 
 have enjoyed liberal education, and it is worthy of note 
 that some of them are the sons or relatives of distinguished 
 men ; it also shows the number that have entered the 
 school, the numbers dropped, withdrawn, examined by the 
 board at Washington, and now remaining in the school, 
 and the States from whence they come. Table No. 3, or 
 the Roll of Honor, shows the names of the students who 
 have passed the board, their ages, places of birth, education, 
 rank when entering the school, and the rank for which they 
 have been recommended. 
 
 The average daily attendance at the school, by the con- 
 solidated morning report, is one hundred and ninety -four.
 
 10 
 
 Strict militarr government is enforced, and the School is 
 also formed as a battalion of four companies under com- 
 mand of students appointed by the Chief Preceptor to act 
 as officers, and twice each day is exercised in the school of 
 the company and the school of the battalion, in an excel- 
 lent parade ground a short distance from head-quarters. 
 
 The following is the present organization of the School :

 It has "been tlie aim of the Committee from tlie first to 
 make the School eminently national in its chaTacter, and it 
 is with pleasure that the Committee refers to the various 
 tables appended, showing the nativity of the applicants for 
 admission, of the students in the School, and of those who 
 have graduated, in proof that it has been able to accomplish 
 its design. It is no less gratifying to be able to refer to the 
 subjoined letters from the Hon. Secretary of "War and 
 Major-General Silas Casey commending the School. 
 
 War Department, 
 Washington City, March 21, 1864. 
 
 Thomas "Webster, Esq., Chairman, 
 
 1210 Chestnut Street, Philadeliihia. 
 Sir : — The project of establishing a free Military School 
 for the education of candidates for the position of commis- 
 sioned of&cers in the Colored Troops, receives the cordial 
 approval of this Department. Sufficient success has already 
 attended the workings of the institution to afford the pro- 
 mise of much usefulness hereafter in sending into the service 
 a class of instructed and efficient officers. 
 Very respectfully, 
 , Your obedient servant, 
 
 EDWIN M. STANTON, 
 
 Secretary of War. 
 
 Washington, D. C, March 1th, 1864. 
 
 Dear Sir : — Yours of the 4th instant is received, and I 
 have directed the Secretary of the Board to attend to your 
 request. 
 
 It gives me great pleasure to learn that your School is 
 prospering, and I am also pleased to inform you that the 
 Board of which I am President have not as yet rejected 
 one of your candidates. I am gratified to see that the 
 necessity of procuring competent officers for the armies of 
 the Eepublic is beginning to be better appreciated by the 
 public.
 
 12 
 
 I trust I shall never have occasion to regret my agency 
 in suggesting the formation of your School, and I am sure 
 the country owes your Committee much for the energy and 
 judgment with which it has carried it out. The liberality 
 which opens its doors to the young men of all the States is 
 noble, and docs honor to those citizens of Philadelphia from 
 whom its support is principally derived. 
 Truly yours, 
 
 SILAS CASEY, 
 
 Major- General. 
 To Thomas Webster, Esq., Ghairman, 
 
 1210 Chestnut Street, Philadeljjhia. 
 
 Beside endeavoring to supply the government with com- 
 petent candidates for the command of Colored Troops, the 
 Committee has resolved to extend the privileges of the 
 School to all who may be about to go before the Board of 
 Kxamincrs for the Veteran Keserve Corps (late the Invalid 
 Corps), and it waits only for further increased accommoda- 
 tions before publicly inviting all officers, non-commissioned 
 officers, and privates seeking command in that branch of 
 service, to enter the School. This determination, and the 
 immediate and very large increase in the number of stu- 
 <ients which may be expected to follow the diffusion of 
 liencral Orders No. 125, in the army, make it imperative 
 that the accommodations and facilities of the School should 
 be promptly doubled or trebled. No time will be lost in 
 .securing them. 
 
 A short time since it was found, on inspection, that ot 
 over three thousand colored troops — chiefly the late slaves 
 of rebels, enlisted in Maryland — not one could "read, write 
 and cipher'' well enough to correctly discharge some of the 
 duties of non-commissioned officers. At the suggestion of 
 the chief mustering and recruiting officer for Colored 
 Troops for that State, Col. S. M. Bowman, of 84th P. V., 
 and late a member of the board for examining applicants 
 lor command of Colored Troops, the Committee invited
 
 13 
 
 active, intelligent, educated young men of color in Mary- 
 land, to enlist, with the view of becoming non-commissioned 
 officers in regiments to be raised in that State, promising 
 to them military teaching and training at this School. 
 Twenty-one spirited young men of color have responded 
 to the invitation, and have been mustered in and sent 
 hither for that purpose. The Preceptors and the more ad- 
 vanced Students have volunteered to teach these colored 
 patriots, and an auxiliary School has been commenced in 
 the Head Quarters for the purpose of teaching and training 
 colored soldiers for the posts of non-commissioned officers. 
 This Committee, formed to encourage and supervise the 
 recruiting of Colored Troops, while actively continuing its 
 efforts in that direction, will steadily strive to furnish these 
 troops with humane, educated and skilled officers, and in 
 every other way do its utmost to assist the government to 
 subdue the Rebellion and exterminate Slavery.

 Directions to Applicants for Admission 
 
 T) THE 
 
 . FREE MILITARY SCHOOL 
 
 ESTABLI8UED BY 
 
 THE PHILADELPHIA SUPEEVISOEY COMMITTEE 
 
 FOR HECEUITING COLORED TROOPS. 
 
 I. Each applicant must apply to the Committee for 
 admission by letter, wholly composed and written by him- 
 self, stating his residence, age, occupation and attainments. 
 If he is in the army, he must state how long he has been in 
 military service, and the character of such service ; and if 
 he has been in battle, state when and where. If he has 
 been in the army, and is now mustered out, he must state 
 the exact reason for being out of the service. 
 
 This letter of application must be accompanied by some 
 written testimonial of the applicant's good character. If 
 he is in the army, his good character, his fitness for com- 
 mand, and his military record, should be endorsed on his 
 application by his superior officer in his own command, 
 and this will be a sufficient guarantee of good character. 
 
 If he is a civilian, he must have a certificate of good 
 character from some respectable citizen of his neighbor- 
 hood, who must certify on his personal knowledge of the 
 applicant. 
 
 II. A good common school education is essential to 
 admission. The only exception to this rule will be in 
 i'avor of such as can show a fine military record in the 
 field — a record thai shall indicate true military genixis. 
 
 The following need not apply, viz. : Such a^ are intem- 
 perate ; such as seek the service for lack of a better business ; 
 such as have been, while in die military service, fretiuently
 
 15 
 
 sick at the hospital; and such as are proved to he ill whenever 
 there is a hard march on hand, or a battle in prospect. 
 
 III. Applicants Laving a superior general education are 
 informed that the Board at AVasliingtou, after examining 
 them on tactics, will question them in the various branches 
 of knowledge they have studied, with the view of ascer- 
 taining the extent of their capacity to acquire and retain 
 knowledge, and with a view of recommending them for the 
 highest rank that their proficiency in tactics will justify. 
 
 IV. As soon as the students, in the judgment of the Chief 
 Preceptor, are likely to pass a favorable examination, appli- 
 cation will be made for permission for them to appear before 
 the Board, and whilst waiting for such permission, students 
 will be sent to Camp AVilliam Penn, to temporarily exer- 
 cise the functions of ofl&cers of Colored Troops. 
 
 V. The Committee will do all in its power to secure an 
 early examination by the Board at AVashington, of such 
 students as the Chief Preceptor shall recommend, and in 
 every other way exert itself to save the students their time 
 and expenses. 
 
 VI. Persons having, in their own judgment, such profi- 
 ciency in tactics, army regulations, and general education, 
 as will enable them to pass a favorable examination, may, 
 if they desire it, have a preliminary examination by the 
 Chief Preceptor, and if his opinion is favorable, and they 
 have certificates of general good character, they will be im- 
 mediately recommended for examinations for command, or 
 if the Preceptor should not pass favorably on them, they 
 iQay enter the School and acquire the requisite knowledge. 
 The attention of privates and non-commissioned officers of the 
 army is specially invited to this. 
 
 VII. It should be distinctly understood, that the instruc- 
 tion, use of books, maps, blocks, and opportunities of camp
 
 16 
 
 experience, are all gratuitous. All personal expenses, in- 
 cluding traveling hither, board, and transportation to and 
 from Washington, by those Avho may be recommended, and 
 all other expenses, must be defra3^cd by the students them- 
 selves. 
 
 VIII. The following extract from a private letter from a 
 member of the Board of Examiners, Washington, to the 
 Chairman of the Supervisory Committee, is deemed worthy 
 of being re-produced here, as being a terse view of the 
 entire subject of officering Colored Troops — practical and 
 eloquent, 
 
 "A Regiment of Colored Troops, when turned over to 
 the command of its white officers, consists of a thousand or 
 more of unlettered black men, often late slaves, dressed in 
 the soldier's uniform and armed like soldiers. They will 
 be expected to do the soldier's duty, but as yet they are 
 profoundly ignorant of that duty. To organize this mass, 
 to provide for it, to instruct it, to drill it, to march it, to 
 lead it into battle and make it fight, will require an aggre- 
 gate of the various kinds of knowledge only possessed by 
 superior white men. 
 
 " These officers should be selected with the greatest care 
 — officers who shall know how to instruct these unlettered 
 men — officers who shall inspire their confidence, and hold 
 them up to a high sense of duty, and make them feel that 
 now, for the first time in the history of their race, they are 
 called upon to vindicate, on the battle-field, their title to 
 the honored name of soldier. Tudcr such direction, black 
 men will make excellent soldiers ; whereas if badly 
 officered, they will be badly taught, badly cared for, badly 
 led, and the whole experiment of putting colored troops in 
 the field will prove a failure. 
 
 "'Where can such be found?' I answer among the 
 gallant, intelligent, and enterprizing young men of the 
 country now in civil life ; and especially among the non- 
 commissioned officers and privates of the army, many of
 
 17 
 
 wliom have earned promotion hy gallant deeds, and who 
 would be proud to command colored troops. Find them 
 out ; cultivate them ; instruct them in your Military School, 
 and send them on for examination, and be assured the 
 Board will not fail to recommend them for the positions 
 they are best qualified to fill." 
 
 EXTEAOT FROM GENERAL ORDERS. 
 Tlie following is taken from the Order of the War De- 
 partment establishing the Board of Examination : 
 
 "4. Each applicant shall be subjected to a fair, but 
 rigorous examination, as to physical, mental and moral 
 fitness to command troops. 
 
 5. The Board shall specify for what grade of commis- 
 sions the several applicants are fit ; and shall also classify 
 and number them according to merit or proficiency. 
 
 6. Appointments to each gTq,de shall only be made from 
 the candidates approved by the Board, and in the order of 
 merit recommended by it. 
 
 7. The Report of the Board, if adverse, shall be conclu- 
 sive ; and no person rejected by it, shall be re-examined."

 DAILY SESSIONS AND DEILLS. 
 
 I, On and after Marcli 1st, 1864, there will be three 
 sessions of the School held daily, (excejit Sundaj-s, and on 
 Saturday evenings,) viz. : The First Session will commence 
 precisely at 9, and end at 10.30 A. M., at which hour the 
 several companies of the Free Military School Battalion w'ill 
 assemble in their respective armories, when the roll of each 
 Company will be called, and absentees noted. At 10.45, 
 the Battalion, under command of a Student, will march to

 5 P. M., after which dress parade will take j^lacc, orders 
 read, and Battalion dismissed. 
 
 Commanding officers of Companies will present their 
 morning reports to the Post Adjutant every evening, pre- 
 vious to 6 o'clock, with a list of all members of the com-
 
 19 
 
 pany present and absent during tlie day, at eitlier session. 
 These reports must be attested by tlie signatures of the 
 Captain and First Sergeant, as required by Army Eegu- 
 lations. 
 
 The Evening Session will be confined chiefly to the

 fessors and their assistants instructing that Department. 
 This session will commence at such hours as may be an- 
 nounced, from time to time, in General Orders. 
 
 An Evening Class, of Students exhibiting a high degree 
 of proficiency and advancement in the School of the Bat- 
 talion, will meet in the evening for instruction, by the 
 Chief Preceptor, in Evolutions of the Brigade. This 
 Division will be designated as the First Class. 
 
 ADMISSION OF STUDENTS. 
 
 II. Applicants having permission to enter the School 
 from the Supervisory Committee, will present themselves 
 to the Chief Preceptor, daily, (except Sunday.) from 9 to 
 half past 10 o'clock, A. M., for examination. 
 
 ASSIGNMENT TO COMPANIES. 
 
 III. Each student, on entering the School, will be as- 
 signed to one of the companies of the Battalion, and will 
 remain in such company during the time he may be con- 
 nected with the School. 
 
 Students who may be promoted as Field or Line Officers 
 of the Battalion will answer to their names daily in the 
 respective companies to which they may be attached.

 Mojrning and Afternoon Sessions, and any Student absent 
 from School a full day, without obtaining leave of absence
 
 20 
 
 previously, through his commanding officer, will be stis- 
 jyended from all the privileges of the School, until he fur- 
 nishes to the Post Adjutant a satisfactory explanation of 
 the cause of such absence. All such explanations must be 
 made by the Student to the Captain or commanding officer 
 of his company, and by him to the Post Adjutant. Attend- 
 ing one session daily will secure the Student his position 
 in the School, but absence for three days in succession, 
 or three days in any one week, will cause the name of such 
 Student to be droi^ped iTom the roll of the School. 
 
 All excuses for absence must be made in writing. Any 
 student frequently absent, and furnishing unsatisfactory 
 explanations as to the cause, will be considered as inatten- 
 tive, and render himself liable to be dropped from the roll, 
 if in the judgment of the Chief Preceptor, it shall be neces- 
 sary to impose this punishment.

 Y. Students are required, during the sessions, to give 
 their undivided attention to the Chief Preceptor and Assist- 
 ant Preceptors, while teaching, and all loud conversation, 
 lounging attitudes, and other violations of good order and 
 decorum are prohibited. Any student found guilty of vio- 
 lating this rule, will render himself liable to be expelled 
 from the School. 
 
 The Preceptors and Assistant Preceptors will be held 
 accountable for the regular and orderly conduct of their 
 respective Classes or Divisions, while under their immediate 
 instruction. 
 
 Defacing books belonging to the School, or scribbling, or 
 writing names in them, or cutting the blocks used for tac- 
 tical demonstrations, will subject the offender to expulsion. 
 Assistant Preceptors will be held accountable for any viola- 
 tion of these rules in their Class Eooms, and will report to 
 the Chief Preceptor the name of any Student oflending. 
 
 Smoking in the class-rooms, or about the building, is pro- 
 hibited.

 poses of the Free Military School, any Student who shall 
 disobey a command of the Chief Preceptor, or of any 
 Assistant Preceptor, or other Superior Officer, or behave 
 himself in a refractory or disrespectful manner, shall be 
 dismissed or otherwise less severely jDunished, according to 
 the nature and degree of his offence.

 drill, will repair to his Company, answer to his name, and 
 march with his company to the Parade Ground, and drill 
 with it, although he may have been present" at one drill 
 the same day previously. Any violation or evasion of this 
 rule will render the offender liable to be dismissed. 
 
 No Student shall be excused from drill by the command- 
 ing officer of his Company, who has no authoritj'- to grant 
 such indulgence. Those desiring to be excused must make 
 application personally to the Post Adjutant, stating the
