That the whole course was well planned and carried out, that the sub- jects were presented so as to be not only instructive, but of the greatest value in fitting for the command and training of various and respective units, in assisting us to overcome obstacles which had heretofore seemed insurmountable, is the consensus of opinion of the entire class. It is believed that the policy is sound, that it not only brings senior officers down to date and furnishes them with a unit of measure on which they may base their training programs, but it also enables them to better understand the importance and objects of the Infantry School, the character of its instruction, and furthermore acquaints them with just what may be expected and exacted of all Infantry School graduates.: We were instructed along right lines by qualified instructors. If we put into practice the lessons we have learned, our organizations will profit greatly thereby and are bound to be efficient and trained along the sarne lines as are organizations with which our units will fight a common enemy, Infantry training be made uniform and successful, and teamplay in- sured. if Instructors, Ativnnccd :uni Cmmipany Officurs class 2l'llllll,lIC5 Lilac notice.
