OIRCULABJ 
 
 OTTAWA, January 2nd, 1872. 
 
 M(/ Dear Colonel : — 
 
 / t7ii7ik it tvould he very desirable to encourage all 
 Officers helonging to all Infantry Corps in the District under 
 your command, who have not passed their examination and 
 qualified for Commissions, to attend the Military School, in 
 order to qualify and obtain their Certificates with as little 
 delay as possible. Of course you are aware that no eomrnis- 
 sio7is are given to Officers mitil they have qualified, and 
 Officers who will not take the trouble to qualify are liable to 
 he passed over iii promotioti by those junior to them in rank 
 who have qualified. Under these circumstances, therefore, 
 you are requested to notify those Officers in your District 
 w/io may be affected, that they are now invited to attend the 
 Military School in order to qualify, 
 
 1 may add, that the experience of the Annual Drill last 
 season, showed fairly the necessity that the Officers should 
 qualify, and that the system of permitting Officers to come 
 up for their examination at tliat time was very insufficient 
 and unsatisfactory. 
 
 I am. 
 
 My dear Colonel, 
 
 Faithfully yours, 
 
 P. ROBERTSON-ROSS,
