at foreign technical schools. Three cadets

constructors. For several years the de-
partment has found IL necessary to give
cadets opportunities of instruction In ma
rine shipbuilding, either at Greenock or
Glasgow, in view of the fact that we have
no schools in this country where ship con-
struction is taught thoroughly. Our cadets
have Invariably carried off the highest
honors abroad, and each year have taken
first place in classes where there were fire.

been appointed each year, and in a few
years il is believed there will be sufficient
to construct and design all the ships that
Congress intends authorizing for the navy
for years to come. Nearly all of the Junior
officers are graduates Of the Naval Acad-
envy. while those at the top were appointed
from civil life before the present system
was adopted.
