Excerpt from A Manual of Marching The value of marching from a normal standpoint is becoming increasingly evident. The increased demand for a useful textbook has made a fifth edition of Mr. Cornell's Manual a necessity. In this edition the general changes adopted for the fourth edition have been retained. First, the material has been largely rearranged using a topical scheme, bringing similar movements together, rather than the strictly formation scheme of previous editions. It is believed that this has made the material more readily accessible to untechnical tacticians. Second, a number of movements and maneuvers have been added, particularly facings while on the march, designed to be executed in a small space and yet give training in alertness. This phase is particularly emphasized in school work. Third, a number of more complicated movements suitable for fancy or exhibition marching have been added.
