SCHOOL OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE, &C.
Admiralty, 26th July, 1867.
The LORDS COMMISSIONERS of the ADMIRALTY
hereby give notice that the arrangements for the ADMIS-
SION of PERSONS, not already in the Government ser-
vice, to the Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine
Engineering, as Admiralty Pupils, will, ,for the present
year, be as follows :
Candidates must not be less than 18 nor more than 21
years of age, and must have served at least two years in
private shipbuilding or engineering establishments, or
must give satisfactory proof that they have in some way
been so connected with shipbuilding or engineering opera-
tions as to become well-grounded in the elementary prin-
ciples and practices thereof.
The pupils will be selected by competitive examination,
the subjects for which, and numbers of marks assigned
for each, are as follows : Marks.
Pure Mathematics, including—Arithmetic, mensu-
ration, geometry (plane and descriptive), plane
trigonometry, and the elements of the differential
and integral calculus 2,500
Applied Mathematics, including mechanics and
hydrostatics
Practical Shipbuilding, including laying-off (for
shipwright's candidates only) 2,500
Practical Marino Engineering (for engineer candi-
dates only)
French
Elements of Physics and Chymistry 750
English Grammar and Composition
Geography and History
No candidate will be admitted who does not obtain at
least two-thirds of the full number of marks in the two
first-named subjects, and three-fifths of the full number,
either for practical shipbuilding or marine engineering.
The last four subjects, although counting in the com-
petition, will not be considered obligatory.
The candidates who may be selected will be treated,
while attached to the school, in all respects as the Admi-
ralty pupils; they will receive wages the same as dock-
yard apprentices, commencing at Es. 6(1. per day for six
days rrer week for the first year, and increasing yearly 3d.
per day till it reaches 2s. per day ; and in addition a sub-
sistence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week
while away from their homes, either at the school or in the
Dockyards.
Six months of each year, viz., from November till May,
will be devoted to study at the School, and the remaining
six months to active work and the acquirement of practical
knowledge in the dockyards.
It is to be understood that the Admiralty make no en-
gagement to employ these pupils after the completion of
their course of study ; and they must rely on their own
worth as educated naval architects for obtaining employ-
ment in their subsequent career. The number of such
pupils to be selected this year is one shipwright and one
engineer. Persons desirous of competing must forward
their names, with a certificate of birth, and of the grounds
on which they consider themselves practically qualified,
enclosing proper certificates to that effect, to the Secretary
of the Admiralty not later than the Ist of September.
The candidates should also state whether they wish to
be examined as engineers or shipwrights.
The examination will take place on the 23d September
and three following days.
By command of their Lordships,
HENRY GORDON LENNOX.
