This number is entirely too small, and is much less proportionately, than that at West Point. To bring things up to a proper standard three men cooks should be added at a cost of $140 per month. This expense seems great but it can easily be met in any of three ways, either by adding four cents to the weekly board, by dropping one of the four...
