III. CONDUCT OF THE STUDENTS.--All games of chance are forbidden; and any debts discovered are punished. If a Student continues long without paying such, he is reported to the Minister of War. IV. INSPECTION OF WORK DONE WITHIN THE HOUSE.--No work or drawing may be done out of the rooms of study, except in cases of illness. All works to be executed by the Students are considered as service ordered to be done, which must be completed at the hours and within the period fixed in the order of the day. Students who are in arrears of work at the end of their first year are required to finish them during the time of vacation. V. SUPERINTENDENCE OF OUT-OF-DOOR WORK.--After describing facilities afforded to the Students for working in the country, and stating minutely the method to be followed, the directions add that “on bringing back their plans, Students must present their sketches, and all the notes taken by them, in their rough state, to the Officer of the Staff intrusted to inspect them. They can not begin to put their work into shape till this Officer’s visa has been affixed to the sketches, notes,” &c. VI. VACATION.--There is one vacation at the end of the first year. Any class, or any single student, under punishment, may be deprived of this. Any work to which the Professor gives a mark below 7, must be considered incomplete, and to be done again. Students are kept up in vacation to finish their work; but if it is done within fifteen days, and marked by the Professor’s visa, they are allowed to go away for the rest of the vacation. Young Officers, after their final examination, are subject to all the Regulations of the School, down to the moment of their leaving the town. II. REGULATIONS FOR ESTIMATING THE VALUE OF THE WORK EXECUTED. The time devoted to each of the courses in the School, to the works of every kind which belong to it, to the exercises, drill, theoretical instructions, &c., is fixed in accordance with programmes approved by the Minister of War; and the Table similar to that given at pages 180-181, exhibiting the employment, is each year submitted for his approbation by the Superior Council of the School. Every kind of work, such as the out-door operations, sketches, drawings, memoirs, calculations, interrogations, manipulations, manœuvres, drill, &c., is valued by the Professor or Officer of the Staff charged with its direction, by the product of two numbers, one representing the merit of its execution, and the other the importance of the work. The numbers representing the merit of the execution or instruction are regulated by the scale of 0 to 20, as at the Polytechnic School.
