Excerpt from A Guide for the Use of Officers of the Inspector-General's Department 1908: Prepared Under Direction of the Inspector-General of the Army Sib: I have the honor to submit herewith, for the considera tion of the Chief of Staff and Secretary of War, A Guide for use of Officers of the inspector-general's Department, which is a compilation of existing laws, regulations, orders, and deci sions relating to the duties of said officers, prepared under my direction, and to request that authority be granted for the print ing and binding of 150 copies thereof. Such a guide is urgently necessary for ready reference in order to secure thoroughness and uniformity in the inspection service, in view of the fact that under the detail system officers now come into the department and are assigned to inspection duty without opportunities for instruction in a new field of duty.
