An arsenal containing 0,000 stand of arms is located here, which was formerly guarded by a company of enlisted soldiers, at an annual expense of about In 89, this appropriation was transferred to the support of a company of cadets, who, in addition to their duties as a guard, should also be placed under a course of instruction, upon the basis of the U.

Applications are made by letter to the superintendent prior to the first of July, each year, and appointments are made for both classes of cadets, by the Board of Visitors, respect being had to their due apportionment among the several districts of the State. The Literary Fund of the State contributes 500 per year to the Institute for the education of teachers, and the State has received tuition fees from the pay cadets to the amount of 6000 since its organization, which sum is applied to the increase of the number of State cadets, and to the enlargement of the accommodations of the Institute.

11 EXPLANATION OF THE CONDUCT ROLL All offences against Orders or Regulations are recorded.

At the end of the Academic year, these numbers are added up, and the sum thus obtained, is that found in the column of ' demerit.^ "When a Cadet has more than 00 demerit in any one year, he is dismissed. \
