WJSDNjBSDAY, JULY 18, 1894. Stands Next to West Point The following official report will be read with pleasure by every friend of the Citadel and should be a source of gratification and pride to every citizen of South Carolina. Its circulation as one of the official documents of the United States war department cannot fail to benefit the institution which it concerns, and to aid in maintaing the military reputation of the Palmetto State : ? Chablkston, Jnne 4, 1894. To the Inspector General United States Army, Washington, D. C.? Sir : I hare the honor to submit to you the following report of an inspection of the military department of the South $ Carolina Military Academy made the 4th of Jnne. 1894, under the instruc of the Secretary of War : This institution was hn inspected by Major J. P. Sanger, inspector general, May 22,1893 For a description of its appointment, scope and objects attention is invited, to the accompanying cata logue and to the annual report of the military professor, which has been been examined and found correct in state ment and useful for reference. At the inspection there were one hundred and thirty students present and five absent. None were absent without inthority. All the students were in uniform. The condition of the arms was perfect with respect to care and cleanliness. The condition of the acco otre ments, gnus and carriages, was excellent. The condition of the equipment and implements was good. Condition of the signal property : Only 2-foot flags, eight in number, good; two heliographs, Grugao, very old and worn ont. Unserviceable property : Two helio graphs. The appearance and military bearing of the students were superb, by far superior to any military school I have inspected. The military professor is suitable for this detail, and the general condition of the military department in all its ap pointments warrants its continuance. The military professor reported that problems in minor tactics were practi cable with the students, and they have had practice in the solution of twenty different problems in the broken country adjacent to the city. REMARKS. The South Carolina Military Aca demy is a military school in the best sense of the term, the expenses of which are mainly borne by the State. The military department is modelled after West Point and closely follows the national institution in a l its details, especially with respect to discipline and infantry instruction. The cadet corps is organized into a battalion of three companies, folly officered. They were exercised in review and inspection, in battalion form, and 'drilled in the various exercises in company and battalion drill, in close and extended order, the bayonent exer cise and signaling with the flag and heliograph. The discipline, military instruction, bearing and general appearance of cadets ; the general care aud condition of arms and equipments and the entire military aspect of the military depart ment of this Academy admits of no comparison to any of the colleges with which I have bad experience. It is so superior in all its methods, scope, ap pointments, and its distinctive military features that it must be classed alone, and can only be compared to our National Military Academy. Their limited means does not permit the extended military curriculum that obtains at the West Point Academy, especially respecting advanced theory and practice in ordnance and gunnery and practical instruction in cavalry drill ; but in discipline, methods und the practical and theoretical part of an infantry officer's education they follow closely the West Point methods and are but little inferior in accomplished work. In the set up, military bearing, cohesion and drill of all kinds in the infantry tactics this battalioo equals any organ ization in the army, and is but little short of that superb excellence gene- illy j believed to be possessed by the nat.onal cadets. Though Lieut Jenkins has entire control of the discipliae and instruction of the corps, and with his facilities should acommplish commendable re sults, he is, I think, entitled to greater commendation than is due even a good zealous administration of his depart ment. His work has produced results that are far in advance of even the best of the military professors that have fallen within my observation, in this, that he has inculcated fundamental principles rarely touched by civil school, and he has further insisted upon precise knowledge of first principles and an exact execution of orders from the manual to the extended battalion movements, not observed by me outside of national troops. The College merits the best support the Government can give to the most advanced of the civil institutions where the art of war is taught, for the reason that the nation receives from it results corresponding to its greatest demands. The superintendent, Col. Coward, and hie staff, are of coarse deeply and intelligently interested in maintaining the high state of instruction and dis cipline obtaining here, and what com mendations the facts extort for the military professor are in a measure due to the high standard of their demands. Gen. Greely has, on my representa tion. sent them eoe heliograph of improved pattern, aod has authorized ! them to repair the the old ones now in use. The three cadets showing most aptitude for the military professioo are Cadet CaptaiDS T. E Lipsey, H. i?. De Pass and H. Horlbeck. Very respectfully, G. H. Burton.
