In Military Art the student is given the facts and reasons to the result, but in Military History he is faced at once with the effect itself. He must then seek the reasons for the result and the means employed and determine the success or failure of their application. Thus by induction he learns to' recognize and apply the practical principles of technique and tactics no mat- ter in what guise they appear. The monograph has been found to be the most successful means of attaining this result at the Infantry School. It allows the student to cover well a particular phase of military events. He must make his own selection of material, original preparation and personal analysis and criticism of the material he has assembled. The oral delivery of the monograph offers him practice in personally presenting the results of his work and by skill, care- ful illustration, enthusiasm and logic bringing others to see as he sees. Above all the course in Military History awakens the student to the possibilities of professional education and pleasure to be found in the military library.
