INFANTRY. 



The education of the soldier in shooting is divided into two 

 distinct phases : First, the preparatory exercises, gallery prac- 

 tice and firing at known distances, conducted under favorable 

 conditions and individually ; second, the practice at silhouettes 

 at known and unknown distances, individual or collective 

 skirmish firing, and volley practice under every variety of 

 conditions, exactly as the soldier would find them in w^ar.
