HEALTH OF TIE NAVY.
Surgeon General Riyey Says IL Was
Good All the Year.

Washington, oct l5.--The first an
nual report Of Surgeon Gen. RiXey
shows that the health of the navy and
marine corps was good throughout the
past fiscal year, the percentage of sick
and the death rate being lower than
for several years The most import
ant recommendation OF the report. per-
haps, is that Congress provide for the
establishment Of a woman's corps for
the navy to consist Of one superintend-
ent nurse, s head nurses, IL first class
and "a second class nurses, these num-
bers to be increased al the discretion
of the secretary. The surgeon gener-
al says.
"That women are the superior of men
FOR the work Of nursing there can be
no question, and the objection that
they are not compatible with military
conditions can scarcely apply TO insu-
buttons Of the character of our large
naval hospitals
The surgeon also makes a strong plea
for the appointment OF dentists for the
navy, pointing out that many other
wise good recruits for the service are
lost for lack Of dental care.
An earnest statement Is made by Ad-
mlral RiXey Of the present entirely in
adequate medical force under his COM
mand. He shows that whereas since
the Spanish war the medical corps has
increased only Is per cent IN numbers,
the naval strength has increased 70 per
cent and the examinations for re-en-
lstmeut l02 per cent. He submits a
recommendation for the appointment
Of $50 more medical officers and refers
to a number Of designations during the
past year owing to dissatisfaction with
the outlook for promotion and the fact
that the corps was undermined.
A post graduate course for the novi-
tiate I'm the medical corps is said 20 be
q necessity and the first step already
has been taken in the transfer OF the
medical school from New York 10
Washington. Carrying out his idea OF
the education Of medical officers Adj
miral RiXey further recommends that
after each cruise surgeons should be
given period Of duty either at home
or abroad in some Of the great medical
centers. where they would have OPP
portuntes TO get In step with the
march Of the professional progress.
