Excerpt from Surveying: With Sections on Map Reading, Military Sketching and Topographic Drawing There are two fundamentals that the Committee wishes to impress upon instructors: 1. An efficient instructor must be accurately informed as to what jobs a carpenter, or a blacksmith, for instance, may be called upon to do in the Army. 2. Methods of instruction must be used which in the time available will best train men to do these jobs. To assist instructors in these two important respects, new course outlines are being prepared by the Committee on Education and Special Training. As soon as completed they will be issued to the co-operating schools. These outlines are sufficiently definite to produce that degree of specialization required by the various Army Corps; yet they are also sufficiently flexible to allow for the broader development of resourcefulness and initiative which are essential to the men in the army. Results to be obtained have been set down rather than detailed methods of accomplishing results. Such details can be developed best in each institution through the ingenuity of the instructors in charge. A promotion program is preferable to a rotating one. It is not desirable to follow rigidly a plan which provides that all students get a definite length of time on each of a number of specified subjects in rotation, though such a program is well suited to the most able men. The work should be organized so that while the most able men will get the entire course of instruction, others will omit those subjects for which they have no special aptitude, giving full time and attention to those things in which they show promise of success. In general this means a course arranged not for the average but for the best student and then administered so that only those men who show or develop ability on one job will be promoted to the next more difficult task. To illustrate: In the auto-mechanic squad only those men who have thoroughly mastered the details of the axle and wheel work will progress to engine work, and then again only those who show a good understanding of engine construction will take up further study of gas engine performance. Again only those who show special all-around ability in these things will proceed further with the study of ignition, timing and the more complicated details of operation.
