into that neighbour cd look longingly at
her trim spars and white decks and go
home and beg leave TO go To sea. Their

strange sights seen by the blue JACKIE ted
youngsters, and the amb ton to be one of
the tight-trousered crowd who go skip
ping through the tops Ia been enough TO
make many boy leave home hy stealth
and try to go aboard. Alas for their hopes
Also alas for their ambition. No boy will

by his legal guardian. he 81. Mary's is

owner OF good moral character in first

Crowninshield or listen to the hearty vo.ce
of Lieut Field.
Many years ago, when American ships
were not SO scarce as they are nowadays,
the board Of education of tn seaport
town resolved 10 teach boys how 10 be
first-class sa lormen. 1t was one of the
best resolves that learned h, ad ever
made. The United States government
very kindly handed over TO them the ship
ST. Mary S, SIC being a 900-tonner and
carrying three skysail yards aloft, and
having record OF sixteen knots an hour
with the wind two points free and every
thing drawing Also the government de-
tailed commander three lieutenants and
one surgeon from the national navy to
look after the welfare of the boys and
train them up in the way cool sailors
should go. The city OF New York has
ever since maintained the ship and her
crew, an the government has supplied
her with proper officers.

The st. Mary's was a chaser of slave
ships before the war, and was one OF the
fastest sailing cruisers ever owned by
Uncle Sam. When she WIS mustered
out of that service her spars were much
shortened and her sailing rig so altered
that she could be more easily handled.
She is still able to travel twelve knots an
hour under all canvas, and she is one of
the best Tough-weather ships that ever
foated. Commander a. :. Crown shield

schoolhouse on the spar deck, where they
are taught English grammar geography,
history, mathematics and the theory of
navigation. School begins on Nov. l, and
the term ends April l6 of each year. The
examiners from the New York City board
of education spent pleasant three hours
recently finding out how much the st.
Mary's boys knew about these subjects.
They were well pleased with the amount
ofintelligence they found and compliment
ed highly Commander Crowninshield and
his officers on the thOroughness Of their
instruction and the brightnes; OF their
pupils.

To join the ship boy must live in New

in sound physical condition, and be
between fifteen and twenty years old.
His parents or guardians must bring him.
The course of instruction lass two years.
The only expense for all that time is S35,
which each boy has to pay on being
received aboard ship This pays for his
uniforms and bed clothing. When a boy
Joins the ship he is put in tie third or
lowest division, and black bag and diddy
box are assigned to him. The ''black
bag" Is long cylinder of black canvas
and fills the place of trunk. The dddy
box is one of a hundred little lockers that
is fastened with biz paddock and holds

of little traps. The boys all sleep on the
gun deck. Their hammocks are slung In
long rows above the mess tables. and the
ventilation Of the big room Is perfect. 1t

This Is a luxury the BOYS won't find on
many ships after they leave school. but IL
doesn't hurt them and its a fine thing
