'74
The school takes twenty officers and twenty-five-
N. C. (3s. at a time, the former doing a two years*
course, the latter a one-year course. Students are
obtained from the schools and universities and not
recruited direct from the Army as it is found that in
this way only can students be found with a sufficiently
high standard of knowledge to enable them to pass the
entrance examination.
The officers course is divided into four sessions of
six months each, with a break of one fortnight. The
working day is eight hours, of which three are devoted
to lectures, and the remainder to practical work,
physical drill, foot drill and handling of arms.
Instruction comprises all branches of veterinary
science, including bacteriology, veterinary work with
regard to cattle and dogs, and lactology.
4. Hospitals. —The main veterinary hospital is situ
ated in Tehran, and a hospital is to be established at
each divisional headquarters.
5. Remount services—At present no organised re
mount service exists, and only one remains of the
Government stud farms which were established by
Nasir-ed-Din Shah. This farm is under the super-
yision of a Persian civilian and for some time past
has not furnished any horses for the army. A pro-
posal has been made by which a remount depot with
stud farms shall be established as a branch of the
Veterinary Department, but so far no decision has-
been come to on this matter.
