ositions of great usefulness.
There are few Officers who during their early days are not cast
down and tempted to think that they do not possess the gifts
necessary to success, and that they have missed their vocation in
becoming Officers. This class of melancholy feelings should be
battled with by the D.O. with all his might, for if allowed to run
their course the result will be not only depression, but despair,
and perhaps desertion.

"The D.O. should give particular attention to the development of
the ability, energy, and religion of the Lieutenants in his
Division. Their position in a Corps often makes it difficult for
them to exercise their gifts to advantage, and they are often
depressed and discouraged. A D.O. should always inquire on his
visiting a Corps having a Lieutenant--

"Whether he is happy with his C.O. and in the Work;

"What special work he has to do and for which he is actually

burden on the Officers, and he must make such plans as will avoid
this, and submit the same to the P.C.

"It will sometimes be found convenient to pool the travelling
expenses, but this may easily work unfavourably to the smaller
Corps instead of in their favour, and in such cases the D.O. must
assist his F.O's with part of the travelling expenses incurred in
attending Officers' Meetings in all such cases where F.O's are
drawing the standard salary or less for their support. Should his
Funds be insufficient to meet the whole of the burden in such
cases, he must apply to the P.C. for assistance.

"The Officers' Meetings should always be held in a comfortable
room of a size proportionate to the number of Officers present. The
Officers should be seated directly before the leader.

"Only Field Officers shall be admitted. A D.O. who wishes to meet
