138 TARGET PRACTICE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES. 



The firing school of field, mountain, foot, and seacoast 

 artillery is situated at Tsarskoye-Selo, near St. Petersburg. 

 Captains of artillery are instructed in the same course as cap- 

 tains attending the infantry school. Other courses are held 

 for junior lieutenants of field and mountain artillery in the 

 summer at Ust-Izhora and Krasnoye-Selo, near St. Petersburg, 

 and for those of foot and seacoast artillery at Ochakof (44 

 miles east of Odessa on the Black Sea). By an order of 

 April 26, 1901, it is provided that generals of infantry and 

 cavalry, and chiefs of staff of corps and divisions are to be 

 detailed to artillery firing schools for instruction in material 

 and fire action of artillery. The course lasts three weeks 

 and is of a practical character. To illustrate the action of 

 artillery in attack and defense, infantry and cavalry units 

 stationed in the vicinity take part in the exercises, for which 

 a special allowance of ammunition is made.
