The scientific education of those admitted into the War Academy consists also in—
(a.) Attending lectures at the University and the Central Polytechnic School.
(b.) Higher lectures upon military scientific subjects.
(c.) Exercises in living languages.
The practical education embraces the duties of staff officers and of higher adjutants, acquaintance with the different branches of military service, also corporal activity, and especially exercises on horseback.
Officers who, on the decision of the Examination Commission, have during the three courses of the War Academy displayed zeal, talent, and application, will, on leaving the academy, have their names sent in to the King for especial notice.
Each of the military schools has its own commandant. The Cadet Corps is commanded by a First Lieutenant of Infantry, the War School by a Major of the Quartermaster-General’s Staff, the Artillery and Engineer School by a Major of the Engineer Staff, and the War Academy by a Colonel of the General Staff, to whom an Adjutant is attached.
With regard to the systematic process of education pursued in the military schools, and to the application of the different means employed to impart instruction, these establishments are placed under the superior direction of the “Inspection of Military Schools;” in all other respects, they are under the control of the Ministry of War, and the professors employed in them are selected according to their special qualifications.
