7o5 Account of Regulations 



demned criminals, because all condemning of such 

 criminals to military service is now forbidden. 



By the newly established Military School opportunity 

 is afforded him of receiving instruction in reading, 

 writing, and arithmetic. Also by this institution, and 

 by the Military School of Industry, provision is made 

 for the education and instruction of children of the 

 soldiers, and for usefully employing their wives. 



Everywhere in the garrison towns, the soldiers, being 

 exempted from all military duty, are allowed to act as 

 private watchmen on their own account, and at the 

 same time to retain their allowance of bread and their 

 free quarters in the barracks. Moreover, they are 

 allowed when acting as private watchmen to wear 

 their old uniform when at work, and their new equip- 

 ments on Sundays and feast-days ; only in the case of 

 these men the various articles of uniform are required 

 to last twice as long as in the case of men in actual 

 service, and calculation is made, in this proportion, for 

 all the time during which they are entered on the lists 

 as private watchmen. 



The same conditions, with reference to the length 

 of time which the various articles of the uniform must 

 last, hold, with little difference, in the case of men 

 absent on furlough. The common soldier who is fur- 

 loughed receives, it is true, during his furlough neither 

 pay nor bread ; he receives, however, some travelling 

 money, which, if he is absent from one parade-day to 

 another, is fixed at two florins. If, however, he receives 

 a furlough for a shorter time, he is allowed and paid 

 during his furlough ten kreutzers per month for travel- 

 ling expenses. Not only can he get along with this 

 amount, but he is very contented with it, as experience 

 has already sufficiently demonstrated.
