SECRETARY LONG WILL ESTABLISH COURSE
FOR THEM AT THE NAVAL ACADEMY.
Washington June IL notwithstanding Long
has decided to make naval construction a branch
Of the course at the Naval Academy. and Naval
Constructor Hobson has been detailed as the in
structor In this subject. The decision OF the Sec
rotary is the result Of careful inquiry into various
propositions which have been submitted to him
lately. 1t has been the custom In recent years to
send graduates OF the Academy who were
signed to the Naval Constructors Corps to Eng
land and France for instruction In the higher
naval schools Of those countries. There they were
taught the various subjects relating to the design
ing and building Of vessels. Almost without
ception the clever American youngsters who have
gone to England and France have class hon.
ors. and only short time ago the English
thorities let 1t be known that graduates Of An
napos would not be welcome at their institutions
In future.
This information set the oficials at the Navy De-
partment to thinking. 1t also brought forth some
patriotic suggestions from Cornell University and
the Boston School OF Technology. Chief Construc-
tor Hchborn. for one. advised Secretary Long that
1t was high time that American boys intended for
the Constructors Corps be educated at home. where
instruction In the art Of shipbuiding could be AZ
