THE DEATH OF LIEUTENAN'r TOWERS.
Early in the present year the Academy was deprived, by death, of
Lieutenant John A. Towers, Second Artillery United States Army,
detailed as professor of Military Art and Science.
Lieutenant Towers was a South Carolinian by birth, and a most
estimable gentleman. In him the Academy lost a valuable teacher,
and the country a soldier whose high sense of honor, manly traits
and marked efficiency gave promise of a high career had his life
fortunately been s.pared for further service.
THE APPOINTMENT OF LIEUT EN ANT JENKINS.
The vacancy caused by the death of Lieutenant Towers has been
filled by the detail, under orders of the United States War Department, of Lieutenant John M. Jenkins, Fifth United States Cavalry.
This appointment is eminently acceptable to the friends of the
school.
ORDNANCE AND ORDNANCE S'rORES.
On the 19th of December last the Federal Congress passed an Act
relieving the Academy from all money responsibility for so much of
the ordnance and ordnance stores received under its bond dated May
the 8th, 18!H, as was destroyed by fire on March 14th, 1893.
The United States War Department has replaced the burned stores
by a new issue, and the whole military equipment of the school,
except the officers.' swords, i&amp; now the property of the United States
Government.

�11
FINANCES.
'l'he S,perintf nden
.mual 'report of expenditures is appended.
The iw or.e of 1 .he scl l for the past year has been the State appropriati,, . f)r
nefic, \, es, $20,000.00 ; and $19,600.00 has been
derived fr)J1 .;he 'J.,\' Cadets, maintained at their own cost. The
expense pe1 Cadet ,ias been, as heretofore, $300. The Chairman's
account with the Federal Fund is also appended. A small balance
of $93.17 remains on hand. This, by the direction of the Legislature, is applicable to the library, and will meet that disposition.
Vouchers for both accounts have been duly filed with the ComptrollerGeneral.
I n this connection it is desired to specially bring to the attention of
the General Assembly further matter. In adjusting the insurance
policies, after the fire last year, a large per cent. was credited upon
them from losses paid. New policies covering the amount, in which
prior and continuous legislative action indicated that the property
should be protected, became immediately necessary. This insurance
has always been provided for by an appropriation apart from the
appropriation for beneficiaries. It was not deemed judicious to leave
the property insufficiently covered until the Legislature met, and the
Board of Visitors directed the amount paid out of the Academic
Fund.
There were also losses of State property not covered by insurance,
as well as charges incident to the move into the Roper Hospital and
putting that building into condition for occupation. It was a necessity, in continuing the school, to meet these charges at once, and the
Board likewise directed it done out of the Academic Fund. The
facts narrated were em bodied in the Report of the Board to the Legislature at its la3t session, but through inadvertence were not brought to
the attention of the Committee of Ways and Means when preparing
the Appropriation Bill of last year, nor to that of the Legislature when
considering it. The detailed statement of the Quartermaster appended shows these extra charges upon the Academic Fund to have
been in the aggregate $2,053. 61.
Again the cyclone of the 27th of August, 1893, did much damage
to the building, the details of which are set forth in the Superintendent's supplemental report, and in an appended statement of the
Quartermaster. The repair of these damages, costing $507.14, was
again met out of the Academic Fund. Thus that Fund has imprope rly defrayed expenses :

Th e established policy of the State si nce the reopening of the
Academy has been to contribute to the Academy the use of its property and to keep the same in repair, while it further contributes a sum
to defray the expenses of a specified nurn ber of beneficiaries. 'rhis
last is based upon a recognized expenditure per Cadet, which barely
suffices to meet their maintenance and education.
The Academic Fund, thus burdened with expenditures which the
necessity of things temporarily compelled, is now embarrassed to that
extent, . and seriously. It is therefore earnestly asked that in addition
to the annual $20,000 for the support of the 68 beneficiaries, the
Academy be, by ,t special appropriation, reimbursed the $2,560.75
expended as sho wn in restoring the property of the State to the condition it was in prior to the calamities which have befallen it.
SIMI-CENTENNIAL.
On the 22d of February last the fiftieth anniversary of the Academy
was reached. The occasion was celebrated with appropriate ceremonies; and the enthusiasm evinced was a marked tribute to a record of
honor and service to the State. At the same time was presented to
the public a history of the school from its beginning, elaborately and
carefully prepared by Col. John P. Thomas. 1'his work had been a
labor of love to its distinguished auth or, and is a valuable addition to
the general hi story of higher education in South Carolina.
CONCLUSION.
'rhe attendance on the Academy is larger than usual. Its discipline
and exercises are fully up to its high standard, and it is a source of
profound gratitude to the Board to be enabled to report its welfare
and well doing to the General Assembly.

PH YSICA L CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY.

The property of the Academy is generally in good condition. The
West wing has been leaking very much this Spring and Summer, and
its roof should be thoroughly overhauled. Much of the ceiling plastering has fallen in the basement, and some in the East wing. The
stucco work on the interior and exterior walls of the main building is
rapidly disintegrating. 'rhis has been caused partly by the thorough
saturation of the walls du ring the fire, and partly by the freezes of th e
past Winter. All the loose or dead plast ering should be removed and
a new coating be applied during the Summer, so that it may become
thoroughly dried before the Winter. The entire building needs a good,
durable coat of color-washing to restore its respectable appeara:p.ce ..

HEALTH.

From the middle of last December up to this date we have had 37
cases of mumps, fortunately of a mild character. 'rhere are at present
3 Cadets absent on sick leave recommended by the Surgeon, namely:
Cadet Legare-(P)-Cough and fever.
Cadet Garris-(B)-Valvular disease of the heart.
Cadet Fike-(B)-Fever.
The hygiene condition of the Academy were never better than it is
at present.
ACADEMIC WORK.

The Academic work during the second hali of the year has been
satisfactory, and I am glad to state that during that period I have had
no serious case of discipline to bring before the Board. As the annual
examination bas just begun, I am of course unable to report final
results. The reports of Professors, herewith submitted, must also be
understood as not based upon the examination.
On the 5th of May Lieut. John M. Jenkins, 5th Cavalry U. S. A.,
reported for duty under the assignment of the Secretary of War. He
has begun his work here with commendable zeal and energy. On the
22d of May the Academy was closely inspected by Major Sanger of the
Inspector General's Department U. S. A. I invite your attention to
his report to the Department, a copy of which is herewith submitted.
In addition to my regular instructions to the First Class in Moral
and Political Science I have carried that class through the two subjects,
Military Law and Field Fortifications, belonging to the Department of
Military Science. Since the arrival·of Lieut. Jenkins I have given instructions in Elocution to the 4th Class. · The examinations on all
subjects taught by me have been satisfactory.
The evils resulting from the low standard existing during the last
two years, and to which your attention has been called, have shown ·
themselves in the lower part of each class this year. I trust, however,
that the action expected of your Board will put an end to this evil.
Very respectfully,
ASBURY COW ARD.

Report of Professor of Military Science and Tactics.

CHARLESTON, S. 0., June 26th, 1893.
The Superintendent South Carolina Mi li tary Academy.
SIR: I have the honor to make the following report of the departJpent of Military Science and Tactics since I reported for duty May 5,
1893 :
There has been given an av.erage of six hours practical military
instru ction, weekly, for all cadets, and five hours theoretical instruction, weekly, for cad ets of the first and second classes.
The requirements of all orders and circulars of the War Department
are complied with.
Th e work of the cadets has been generally satisfactory.
I respectfully recommend that the course of instruction be brought
to date by the adoption of the most recent t ext books authorized and
adopted by the War Department as standards.
I respectfully recommend further t hat the conditions on which the
annual encampment of the Corps of Cadets is conducted at present
be modified : That the battalion of Cadets be given a practice march
through several towns and Counties, in order that they may be given
practical instruction in marching, the selection of camps, camping,
the care and preparation of the ration, and the general duties of
troops in th e field. I consider this the most important knowledge
that should be imparted to the Cadets, who will be looked for by the
State to efficiently officer her troops. Under present conditions it is
impossible to give this instruction thoroughly.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN M. JENKINS,
2nd Lieutenant 5th Cavalry,
Professor of Military Science and Tactics.

OoL. ASBL'RY COWARD, S uJJe1"intendent.
Sm : I have the honor to report that the work laid down for the
first and second classes in my department has been carried on as usual
with fairly satisfactory results as far as the better members of the
classes are concerned.
Some members of the first class whom I reported to you at the
semi-annual examination in F ebruary as having continuously neglected
their duty have done better during the second t erm, but not as well
as I should expect.
'rhe majority of the second class have done fairly well and a
minority very poorly.
This I attribute to the lack of any requfred staµdard in the department.
As to recommendations, I can only refer to those in my former report concerning laboratory work and a consequent remodeling of
the course.
'£he apparatus and materials in _the laboratory are in tact and good
condition, with the exception of a few pieces which need repair, and

�24
some few materials, which can not be kept, and consequently need
replacement.
Very respecfully,
CHAS. L. REESE, Professor Chemistry and Physics.
P. S.-Accompanying this I respectfully submit the reports of Lieutenant 0. J. Bond, who has taught the Astronomy class, and Lieutenant Coleman, who has the Natura] Philosophy.

Maj. 0. L. REESE, Professor of Chernistry and Physics.
Sm: The First Class has recited to me in Astronomy every other day
during the last term. I believe our change of text book has been beneficial; and I think the class has done fairly well and shown interest.
Respectfully,

To Major 0. L. REESE, Professo1· of Chemistry and Physics,
I beg leave to report that the prescribed course of study in the Department of Physics has been accomplished by the Third Class.
The work of the year has been about on an average with that obtained with other classes.
We have recently received a small supply of material which will be
quite helpful in the construction of simple apparatus ; also a few
pieces which I have used to great advantage in the study of current
induction-the most important feature of many practical electrical
appliances.
We need annually a small sum to cover the necessary wear and tear,
and to supply apparatus for illustration, which cannot be constructed
by one unskilled in the use of tools.
Such apparatus as I can generally put together is almost wholly restricted to qualitative work.
Very respectfully;
J. T. COLEMAN,
Lieutenant and Assistant Professor of Physics.

Col. ASBURY COWARD, Suverintendent.
Sm: I have the honor to make the following report for the Department of Mathematics and Engineering:

�25

T
\

The First Class has been instructed in Analytic Mechanics and in
Applied Mechanics. In this course of Civil Engineering more attention is given to the principles involved in the determination of the
strength and stability of bridges, roofs, arches, dams an d other structtues, and in their proper design, than to any detailed description of
actual construction. It is regarded of the first importance that the
student be furnished with a fund of correct principles from which he
can draw when occasion arises.
The Second Class has been employed upon Analytic Geometry and
upon the Calculus. The text book used in Calculus gives the theory
correctly and logically, and at the same time is an eminently practical
work.
The Calculus is used to advantage in the treatment of many questions in the course of Civil Engineering.
The Third Class has been instructed in Geometry, Trigonon{etry and
Surveying by Lieut. Bond, whose report is herewith forwarded. I concur in his recommendation as to the issue of text books.
The Fourth Class has been instructed in Algebra by Lieut. Coleman,
whose report is herewith forwarded.

Major R. G. THOMAS, Professor Mathematics and Engineering.
Sm: I respectfully submit the report of the work done by the Third
Class in Mathematics for the past session.
In plane trigonometry the progress made was satisfactory-only one
or two members of each section showing lack of study.
In surveying, as is generally the case, the interest shown was more
marked, and the work accomplished correspondingly gratifying. Only
a very limited amount of field work was done, but it is my intention
to supplement this on the encampment.
I think it impartant that the Cadets should k eep in th eir possession
their algebras, geometries and trigonometries, and recommend that
these books be issued them permanently.
Respectfully,

Sm : I beg leave to make the following report in regard to the
classes under my charge during the past term :
The First Class-sixteen members (not divided into sections)-has
pursued and accomplished the comse in German Translation. rr11is

done very well. Deportment uniformly good.
The Second Class-fifty-three members (in two sections)-begun the
translation of German in February. It bas had ten recitations per
month, alternating reading with declensions and conjugation of verbs.
A conside111,ble interest has been shown in the study and the progress
generally good.
The 'rhird Class-twenty-nine members (two sections)-has pursued and accomplished the course in French, and has shown some
improvement in acquiring the verb forms. 'rhe same number of hours,
ten per month, has been devoted to this class, which completes the
course in French with .this term .
The Fourth Class-twenty-nine members (in two sections)-begun

Report of Professor of Drawing and Bookkeeping.

AT THE CITADEL,
CHARLESTON, S. 0., June 24th, 1893.

Col. ASBURY COWARD, Sitperintendent.
Sm : I have the honor to submit my report of the department of
drawing and bookkeeping.
rrhe First Class has accomplished somewhat more in bookkeeping
than any class heretofore. The course is practical, and many of the
Cadets have shown considerable aptitude. We do not expect to make
~ccountants, but I believe that aB of them have made an acquaintance
with the general principles of double entry, which will be of value to
them in life. I think this department is eminently useful.
The Second Class has been engaged during the past term in architectural drawing. While some are slow, the majority have completed
from six to ten. drawings-two plans, four elevations, and four detail
drawings. The work consists in copying and enlarging tesigns,
making tracings and blue prints.
The work of the Third Class in drawing has been divided between
descriptive geometry and surveying. 'fhe class has drawn nearly all
of the plates in the book on orthographic projections, and made surveyors' plats, profiles, and contour drawings. I am very well pleased
with the work done.
Respectfully,
0. J. BOND,
Assistant Professor of Mathematics,
In charge of the Department of Drawing and Bookkeeping.

Superintendent South Carolina Military Academy.
Sm : I respectfully submit the foBowing report of the Medical
Department of the South Carolina Military Academy for the session
commencing October 1st, 1892, and ending July 1st, 1893 .
The health of the Corps on the whole has been good; a decided
improvement upon previous years.
The usual number of catarrhal and catarrho-malarial fevers have
prevailed among the recruits-~, process of acclimation which all of
them have to endure.

,

�28
Also a number of cases of orchitis, probably due to tight pants
and impruden ce on the part of the Cadets.
Also a mild, prolonged visitation of mumps, in all som e thirtynine cases, from December 14th, 1892, t o June 22d, 1893. Three
cases of continued fever have occurred (typhoid in character).
These were promptly furloughe~. N o deaths have occurred in th e
Corps this year.
On th e whole, we can congratulate the institution on the good
health of the Corps.

CHARLESTON, S. 0 ., May 22, 1893.
To the Inspector-G~neral, U. S. A ., Washington, D. 0.
Srn: I have the honor to submit the following report of an inspection of the Military Department of the South Carolina Military Academy, made the 22~ instant, in accordance with the instructions of the
Secretary of War:
The Academy was last inspected by Lieutenant Colonel H. W. Lawton, Inspector-General, May, 1892.
J&lt;'or a general descrip tion of the Academy, its appointments and objects, attent ion is invited to the accomprmying cat alogue.
The institution was established in 184;! . nnd confers the diplom a of
the Military Academy.
It is not endowed under the Act approved July 2, 1862, and receives
no income from that source.
The :i\1:ilitary Professorship was established in October, 1883, and the
chair is now filled by Lieutenant J. M. J enkins, Fifth Qavalry, who
has been on duty since May 5, 1893.
H e resides at .the Academy, and when in performance of military
duties wears his unifo rm.

�29
He is a member of the faculty nnd Commandant of Cadets, and takes
rank after the Superintendent, with all the rights incident thereto.
He is not employed by th e Academy.
All appointments and promotions of officers and non-commissioned
officers are made by the Superintendent of the Academy on the recommendation of the Commandant. The orders are issued by the Commandant.
Proper military discipline is enforced at all times.
Breaches of discipline and misconduct are punished by deprivation
of recreation, extra tours of duty, private reprimand, public reprimand,
arrest or confinement to prescribed limits, imprisonment in light or
dark room, suspension, dismission and expulsion.
'rhe course of instruction is both theoretical and practical, and occupies fifteen hours per week for theoretical instruction, and six hours
per week for practical instruction.
Attendance is compulsory on theoretical instruction in First and
Second Classes ; on practical instruction on all Cadets.
Proficiency in the Military Department is requisite to enable a student to receive his diploma.
Facilities for military instruction comprise the arms and accoutrements of infantry and field pieces for artillery.
During the past year there have been 124 infantry drills, 40 artillery
drills, 0 cavalry drills, 0 exercises in signaling, 0 exercises · in target
practice; ceremonies will take place during encampment; daily guard
mounting, ,md dress parade and inspection, and monthly review and
inspection.
There has been no instruction in minor tactics as yet, but will take
place later.
'l'heoretical instruction has been given in artillery and infantry drill
regulations, and in the Art and Science of War.
Total number of recitations, 135.
Average daily attendance at each recitation, 68.
Number of examinations, 3.
The total number of students enrolled in the institution during the
past year has been 147, all males.
Of the total number of students capable of performing military
duty, there have been 147 under military instruction, being 100 per
cent. of the entire number.
The average attendance at each infantry drill has been 105 ; at each
artillery drill, 50 ; cavalry drill, 0; signaling, 0 ; target practice, 0 ;
ceremonies, 105.

Unauthorized absences from military instruction are punished by
the award of penalties already stated according to the degree of the
offense.
The students are organized into an infantry battalion, consisting of
one adjutant, one quartermaster, one sergeant-major, one quartermaster-sergeant, and two companies.
'rhe uniform consists of that of West Point cadet organization,
buttons and white belts excepted, and is worn at all times.
At inspection there were no students out of uniform .
The arms, accouterments and uniforms were generally in very good
condition.
There is no signal property on hand.
The guns, carriages, implements and equipments were under shelter
and in good condition.
The reports required by G. 0. 26, 1891, have been regularly rendered. Copies of these reports and of all correspondence are on file.
The names of the students who have shown special aptitude have
not been reported to the Adjutant-General of the army, because they
have not yet been determined.
The names of the three most distinguished students in military science dnring the year have not yet been determined.
The attitude of the authorities and students toward the Military
Department is very favorable .
'rhe battalion, numbering 112 Cadets, was inspected and exercised
in infantry drill regulations, in the manual of the piece, field artillery,
and presented a most creditable appearance. A few rusty muskets
were noticed, and more attention should be paid to the nomenclature
of the rifle and field piece.
Owing to the illness and death of Lieutenant Towers, a most excellent and much loved instructor, there had been no army officer on
duty with the battalion since last October until the arrival of Lieutenant Jenkins two weeks ago. In consequence of this long interregnum
the artillery drill has suffered, al}-d no instruction has been given in
the extended order drill of infantry. The close order drill of the
battalion and companies was in most respects excellent.
It is recommended that two heliographs and the usual signal equipments be furnished this school.
In addition to the instruction to which reference has already been
made, it should be stated that a guard, consisting of an officer of the
day, an officer or sargeant of the guard, three corporals and thirteen
privates is mounted daily.
Four posts are established in the corridors of the barracks, the sentinels walking from 7:20 p. m. until 11:00 p. m., when the privates

�.,....;

are dismissed, but the officers and non-commissioned oflicers remam
at the guard room all night.
An annual encampment and march of two weeks forms a part of
the regular milita1·y instruction of the Cadets, which may be extended
to one month. 'r arget practice and signaling take place during the
encampment. This year the Cadets will encamp at Aiken, S. C.,
from July 1st to 15th, and the commencement will be held there.
By referring to the catalogue it will be observed that the Academy
is a State institution. It is modeled on the plan of the United States
Military Academy at West Point, with which in some respects it may
be favorably compared.
Lieutenant Jenkins stated that the requirements of the War Department have been fully complied with.
Colonel Coward, the Superintendent, spoke in high terms of Lieutenant Jenkins.

To the Board of Visitors of the S. 0. Military Academy.

!,

GENTLEMEN: In addition to the printed Official Register for the
academic year, 18D2-03, and the reports made by me in February and
June, I beg to submit the following report:
'rhe annual examinations h aving ended on Friday, June 30th, the
Corps of Cadets and the academic officers took the train on the morning of Saturday, July 1st, for Aiken, S. C., where your Chairman had
directed that the annual encampment should be held. On arriving at
that city they were escorted to the Schuetzen Park by the Aiken
Guards, where the Hon. W. G. Chafee, Mayor, in eloquent terms of
welcome extended to all the hospitalities of the city, and the citizens
by way of emph asizing his words had prepared an elegant and abundant
open-air banquet. This was but a foretaste of the unvarying courtesies
and hospitalities extended to us throughout our stay in Aiken. For
a statement of the work done by the Corps during the two weeks of
this encampment, I beg to refer you to the report of the Commandant
of Cadets (1 ) hereto appended.
The_.._advantages of having the First Class on the encampment were
apparent in the good order maintained and the excellent performance
of all military work. The fact that the regular commencement exercises of the Academy were to be h eld at the end of the encampment
in Aiken enlisted more of public interest in the encampment than
had ever been observed before, and I think this feature has accomplished all that could have been reasonably anticipated from the inauguration of the policy of holding the commencement in connection
with the encampment.
A pleasing incident of our stay in Aiken was the presentation by
Dr. B. H. Teague, a public-spirited citizen of that city, of a beautiful
gold medal bearing a star made from the wood of the steamer Star of
the West, to be annually competed for by individual drill. The honor
of wearing it during the current academic year was won by Cadet A.
E. Legare. Another handsome medal offered by the volunteer militia
companies encamped near us for competitive target practice was won
by Cadet E. A. McClellan.

ENROLLMENT.
After the graduation of the class on the 14th of July there remained
upon the roll of the Academy 57 beneficiary and 53 pay Cadets, a total
of 110 Cadets.
During the vacation one Cadet died and four were honorably discharged, thus leaving on the roll October 1 . . ... . 105
Admitted since October 1 . .. . ...... . .. .. .. . 39 (13 B. and 26 P.

II

r

Total at present ... .. .. .. ........... .. ..... 144 (68 B. and 76 P.
All of these are present except Cadet W. Jervey, who is now in the
St. Xavier Infirmary, where he has been recently subjected to a surgical
operation on the hip joint, in consequence of the severe injury received
in May, 1892. Only one case of serious illness has occurred since the
opening of the session, and this one is now convalescent.
The academic work is progressing in a generally satisfactory manner
in all departments. With a view to meeting the wishes of the Board
I have substituted in my own department a Manual of Natnral
Theology and a Manual of Christian Evidences in the place of
Hickok's Moral Science. 'l'hese two manuals, written by G. P.
Fisher, D. D., LL.D., Professor of Ecclesiastical History in Yale
University, and but recently published, are compendium s, but I think
they cover sufficiently well the ground intended in the recommendation made to your Board last February by Dr. Law. I propose to
make a change for the second term by the substitution of Wilson's
State and Federal Uonstitutions, and Steele's work on E conomics, in
place of Story on the Constitution. Wilson's book is fresh and somewhat synoptical, and can be easily studied in a h alf term and thus
allow the introduction of Steele's practical little book on economics.
I beg to call special attention of the Board to the recommendation
of the Professor of Chemistry and Physics set forth in the accompanying paper (2). I heartily concur in his views and I would urge
that the suggested changes be made whenever the finan ces of the
institution shall be found sufficient to meet the necessary expenditures
involved.
I regret to state that the storm of August 27th did much damage to
the buildings. Nearly 500 new slates had to be reset in th e roof of the
main building and of the West wing, large areas of interior plastering
had to be removed, scores of window glasses had to be restored, and
some gutters and down pipes had to be mended. The color-washing
of the main building and East wing was very nearly completed at the
time of the storm, and much of it was consequently washed off. Where
cement mortar was used, however, no damage was done. 'J.'he cost of
3-MA

�34
repairing the storm damage, and the unprovided-for losses sustained
by fire in March, 1862, have made a large inroad upon the revenues of
the institution. These revenues, as you are aware, are .based upon the
net cost, or nearly so, of running the institution during the ordinary
course of events, and there can never be any accumulation of excesses
of receipts over expenditures to meet the consequences of unforeseen
calamities. 'rhe only resort is to the General Assembly for an appropriation to cover the expenses incident to such calamities when they
occur. The amount of the losses sustained by fire is shown in the
itemized statement of the Quartermaster to have been $2,053. 61.
Amount paid out for repair of storm damages, as per Quartermaster's
statement (3), $507.14. Total, $2,560.75.
I respectfully urge that the General Assembly be asked to make a
special appropriation to cover this amount.
Respectfully submitted,
ASBURY COWARD,
Superintendent.

CHARLESTON, S. S., November 2, 1893.
To the S,uperintendent of South Carolina Mil'itary Academy.
Sm : I have the honor to submit the following Report :
During the encampment of the annual military session, there were
held daily, weather permitting, two battalion drills, guard mounting
and dress parade. 'rhere were held two competitive drills: Company drill, Company A being successful. Individual drill for the "Star
of the West" medal presented by Dr. Teague, Cadet Legare being the
successful competitor.
'rhe duties of camp guard and police were satisfactorily performed.
The drills were for the most part confined to "extended order,"
attack of positions, making use of cover and the accidents of the
ground. It was not practicable to give instruction in the duties that
pertain specially to troops in the field. I would respectfully call attention to my former report on this subject. This instruction, which can
only be given practically, is the most important that can be imparted
to the soldier, and I respectfully recommend that the Board authorize
a practice march covering at least one-half of the time of the military
session. 'rhe new Drill Regulations aim to make the soldier efficient
on the field of battle, and to that end the "extended order," making
use of cover and adopting all formations to the accidents of the
ground, should be given the first place in all military instruction.

The details only of these movements can be taught on the square; their
intelligent application requires varied ground. I respectfully recommend that authority be given for devoting one day in each month to
military exercises exclusively, when the Battalion of Cadets may be
taken beyond the city limits and given practice marches during which
the duties of advanced and rear guards, escorts to convoys, outposts and
the principles of the ''extended order" might be practically taught.
The time thus used may be deducted frum the hours of theoretical
instruction without detriment, for the adoption of the new text books
authorized by the War Department, has rendered it necessary to use
less time than was required by the former course of study in this
department. This work will be excellent exercise and a proper preparation for the march above proposed.
The attention of the Board is called to pargraph 140, Regulations South
Carolina Military Academy. This paragraph should read, "except the
Superintendent and Commandant of Cadets." The duties of officer in
charge do not properly devolve on the Commandant of Cadets. He is
always on duty with the Battalion of Cadets. It is directly contrary
to the Regulations of the United States Military Academy, upon which
these regulations are based.
It is also recommended that the Commandant of Cadets be given
authority to grant the general leaves of absence, forwarding to the
Superintendent only such applications as do not come under this head,
and that paragraph 85 be amended to read : "Applications for leave
of absence on Friday evenings and Sundays may be granted by the
Commandant of Cadets."
Very respectfully, your obedient servent,

JOHN M. JENKINS,
Second Lieutenant 5th United States Cavalry,
Professor Military Science and 'factics.

'l'HE CITADEL,
CHARLESTON, S. 0., October 31st, 1893.

Colonel ASBURY Cow ARD,
Superintendent of South Carolina Military Academy.
Srn: It has been my hope ever since I became connected with this
institute that before long we would be able to introduce the method
now almost universally adopted in this country and abroad of teaching the science of chemistry-that is, the method according to which
the actual handling of the material is required of the students, or what
commonly called laboratory work.

�36
'rlrn,t it is important that some such method should be adopted in
this school needs no argument. The mere fact that the method has
been so universally accepted is sufficient. Indeed I know of no school
of importance where science is taught without using the laboratory
method.
'rhe obj ect in teaching natural science, as I understand it, is twofold -:· First, to give the student a training essentially different from
that given by the study of language, history, and the abstract science
of mathematics; to give a training which will broaden the mind and
prevent it from rnnning into literary and abstract grooves.
Second, to train the mind of the student in the direction of observing
what is going on around him, not only to see what he finds before him
but to note it and draw conclusions concerning it. It trains him to
think about what he sees. How many men lack the faculty of really
seeing and noting what they look at ?
Laboratory work gives the stndent this training to a degree that
lecturing alone can not, however painstaking the teacher may be to
call his attention to every little detail.
If the student handles the materials himself and is required to make
a note of what he sees, the habit of observation grows on him in such
a way that he will never lose it.
To require a student to recite on a lesson from chemistry learned
from a book no more attains the obj ect for which the subject is taught
than if he should recite on so many pages of the dictionary. The fact
that he learns something about the subject does very little good, as he
soon forgets the matter, and as to training he is no better off.
To give ·an idea how some of our great teachers of science look upon
this matter: while in conversation with Prof. Remsen, of the Johns
Hopkins University, several years ago on the importance of laboratory
training. I told him that I did not think we had time in our course for
both lecturer and laboratory work, and he said, '' rather h ave a laboratory course and no lecturer, than lecturer with no laboratory work."
Now, of course it would be best for us to have laboratory work, lecturer and recitation, but if we cannot find time for all, I think I can
suggest a plan by which we can accomplish the best results that our
time will allow.
I would require no more hours from the individual Cadet per week
than are at present devoted to the subject, but a different arrangement
which could be fixed by the academic Board. However, the details of
the arrangement of hours I could give if desired.
Now, of course I recognize the fact that such a change as J suggest
wonld require some outlay of money in the beginning for working

�37
desks and apparatus which, however, could be reduced to a minimum
cost.
I am having estimates made now as to the cost of the wood work and
hope to have them by the tim e your Board meets.
As to the general mnning expense I calculate that it would amount
to no more than five (,:5 ) dollars per year for each student to cover
both materials and wear and tear, and I think the Cadets could afford
this in their first and second class years. The Fourth Class men have
many heavy expenses, having their uniforms to buy. In the Third
Class year they spend about twelve ($12 ) dollars for drawing materials,
-and so I calculate that they could spare five ( ~·5) dollars in the first
and second class years for chemical materials and apparatus.
We have a very good supply of chemicals and apparatus on hand,
and I think we could buy the necessary new apparatus for the $5
apiece which would come from each stud ent fined.
In many institutions it is required that all students make a deposit
of $5 or more contingent fund to cover any careless breakage or waste.
If the Board should so desire it I should be glad to appear before
them to explain any mll,tters or answer any questions.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
CHAS. L. REESE,
:Uajor and Professor Chemistry and Physics.
