and subordinates for drill purposes San
Carlo is essentially the artillery school, in
charge Of a colonel of artillery and a board
OF officers representing both branches of the
service; for the graduates of San Carlo man
the ordnance both on the war ships and In
the land Notifications. AS may be imagined
the engineer students are taught special
branches, and the course here is widely diff
ferent from the methods pursued in the
other institutions. Contrary to our own
plan, Spain has special system for the
education Of marine officers. The standing
OF these troops is considered the lowest in
the service, and the pupils are made up Of
non-commisisoned military officers and ma
val cadets who have been unsuccessful in
the training school or have been obliged
to leave the navy for some other reason.
The age of admission to the training school
Is from IL to Is years, to the Cadiz acad-
emies from IL to 26 years, and to the en-
cheering school from is to q years.
What naval officers consider the weak
point In tn Spanish method Of instruction
Is the fact that 1t Is not necessary to grad
uate from the training school to enter San
Carlo or San Fernando. The applicant who
passes a certain examination and who is 8
Roman. Catholic in religion can enter eithe,
OF the academies. This allows candidates
who have influence easily to obtain COM
paratively high positions in the services
without beginning at the bottom Of the
ladder, so to speak; and 1t Is we'll known
fact that the examinati lions in many in
stances are made easy in order to secure
positions for this one or that one who has
an influential relative or friend at court
The candidate may be well qualified and
may develop into competent officer but
the laxity of the system frequently admits
persons not properly fitted for responsible
positions. The rigdity maintained stand
ing. for which the naval service in the
United States. Great Britain, Germany and
other countries are noted is lacking here
The first years of the cadets life are the
hardest. and though he may have obtained
his entrance to the training ship partly
through influence, it must be said to the
credit of the instructors at Ferrol that they
are considered more impartial than in any
of the other institutions, except the ar
tilery schools.
