From every courg¢ at the Royal School of Artillery there will only. be twenty officers selected for overseas Service. The remainder will be al- lowed to attend one more course, en- ho as privates or get out of the ser- This order is primarily to cut out the too common use of the phrase by the gunners: "And a little child shall lead us." : Some few weeks ago the Militia Department decided that there were too many civilians wearing -infantry officers' uniform, too much for orna- ment and too little for use. The Pro- visional School of Infantry was en- tirely reorganized and even called by a new name "Infantry School of In- struction." There are many parts of this order that will undoubtedly be changed eventually, but no change for some reason was made in that ar- istrocratic branch of the servicé--the artillery. The old privilege of grant Ing to personal friends a provisional commission without regard to pre. vious service is still in use. Hundreds take advantage of this, convenience method of getting permission to wear the uniform of an officer. In the in- fantry the privilege goes to those who prove their value. In the agtil- lery it gees to those who have en- ough personal- influence with the commanding officers of militia units Ren in most cases still in civilian e. In order in a small way to stop the harsh criticism that is being levelledy at the authorities for making this ridiculous preference to the artillery, the above order has been issued. Without regard to the number in at- tendance at the course, only the first twenty will be attached to overseas units. The others will receive one more chance to attend the school, this time without expense to the public, and compete with 200 others to get into that "Inner Shrine" of the first twenty. The great fault as pointed out by officers, is the fact that the qualifications of the officers of that first twenty do not depend on their percentage on passing the ex- aminations but to their percentage with reference to the standing aver- age of thé whole class, though not to previous or future classes. It means that should thirty be in attendance at the course two-thirds of that number, providing all pass ed the necessary examinations at 50 per cent on each paper and 60 per cent. on the aggregate, could take overseas appointments or attach- ments. If there were 200 in atten- dance--with the same provision that all passed--180 would be put out on the streets. It is the general opinion that only one thing that can make the Royal School of Artillery 100 per cent, and not 10 per cent. efficient. That is by a complete and sweeping change of the whole system in use, The chance for every young fellow who wants to be an officer should be taken away. Real men who have shown their fit- ness in the ranks should be chosen on their merits for promotion to com- missions. bs Lieut. Green, Quebec, has report- Corps. Winter Services here to Ma- jor J.

It is published for the information of all concerned, that commanding officers are to cause every order and circular issued for general informa- tion and guidance'either to be rapubd- lished in régimental orders or other- wise circulated throughout their corps, and they are to afford all offi- cers under their command every fac- ility for becoming acquainted with current changes in the regulations and orders.
