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 bo selected by competitive examination,

for each, are as follows: Marks.

ration, geometry (plane and descriptive), plane

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 Is. 6d. per day for six
days per week for the first year, and increasing yearly 3d.

sistence allowance of 3s. per day for seven days per week
while away from their homes, either at the school or in the
Dockyards.

will be devoted to study at tho 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

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.
