Cost of Training a Sailor.

A few years ago there was much
criticism because so much money was
spent in educating cadets at the
Annapolis Naval Academy. 1t also
costs a good deal in other countries
to educate officers for the navy, es.
pecially for the British navy. A
complaint was published in one of
the London papers few days ago
because each cadet cost about $500 a
year. On the training ship Britannia,
at Dartmouth, there are 24S cadets,
with staff OF 102 instructors, and it
costs about $780, 900 year to main-
tain them. OF this amount the par
ents and guardians pay to the gov
eminent about $S5, 900 a year. The
Royal Naval College, at Greenwich,
is said to be another quicksand for
the public money. 1t costs $3.50, 900
a year to keep it running, and, &C.
cording to the average attendance,
each officer there instructed costs the
country about 81, $50 a year.
