nm some weak argument. The lawyers OF previous
generations could reason back TO princlpies "hioh

from well educated and broad-minded members OF

The Tribune yesterday noted the fact that Sec
retary Tracy had detailed two of the class OF 81
Of Naval Cadets TO take a three years course in
naval construction and naval architecture at the
ROYAL Naval Academy, Greenwich, England The

ing and engine building requires course of study
! that cannot at present be obtained at Annapolis,
! and at Greenwich is given special course IN
| naval architecture and in mathematics not handled
| bv any other institution Of learning in the world
