"TTHERE are few national institutions of more value and interest to the country than the 

 *■ Royal ^£ilitary College of Kingston. At the same time its object and the work it is 

 accomplishing are not sufficiently understood by the general public. 



The College is a Government institution designed primarily for the purpose of giving 

 the highest technical instructions in all branches of military science to cadets and offi- 

 cers of Canadian Militia. In fact, it is intended to take the place in Canada of the Eng- 

 lish Woolwich and Sandhurst and the American West Point. 



The Commandant and military instructors are all officers on the active list of the 

 Imperial army, lent for the purpose, and in addition there is a complete staff of professors 

 for the civil subjects which form such a large proportion of the College course. Medical 

 attend an CL- is also provided. 



Whilst the College is organized on a strictly military basis, the cadets receive in addi- 

 tion to their military studies a thoroughly practical, scientific and sound training in all sub- 

 jects that are essential to a high and general modern education. 



The Lnin>o in mathematics is very complete and a thorough grounding is given in the 

 subjects of Civi! Engineering, Civil and Hydrographic Surveying, Physics, Chemistry, French 

 and Enghsh. 



The strict discipline maintained at the College is one of the most valuable features of 

 tlie system. 



In addition, the constant practice of gymnastics, drills and outdoor exercises of all 

 kinds, ensures good health and fine physical condition. 



Seven commissions in His ilaje^ty's regular army are annually awarded as prizes to 

 the cadets. 



Three Commissions in the Permanent Force will be given annually, should vacancies 

 exist, to the graduating class, viz.: Every year one in the Infantry; and each alternate 

 year : 



One in the Engineers and one in the Hoise Artillery. 



One in the Cavalry or Mountt^l Rifles and one in the Garrison Artillery. 



Further, every three years a Commission in the Ordnance Corps will be given to the 

 graduating class. 



Three second class clerkships, or appointments with equivalent pay, will be offered 

 annually to the graduating class, such appointments to be in the following Departments, viz : 

 Public Works, Railways and Canals, Inland Revenue, Agriculture and Interior. 



The length of the course is three years, in three terms of nine and one-half months' 

 residence each. 



The total cost of the three years' course, including board, uniforms, instructional mate- 

 rial, and all extras, is from $750 to $800. 



The annual competitive examination for admission to the College will take place at 

 the headquarters of the several military districts in which candidates reside, in May of 

 each year. 



For full particulars of tliis examination or for any other information, application should 

 be made as soon as possible, to the Secretary of the Militia Council, Ottawa, Ont. ; or to 

 the Commandant, Royal Military College, Kingston, Ont.
