NEW NAVAL ACADEMY
GROWING RAPIDLY
Mr.. Moody Asks S3,000,000
for Next Fiscal Year.
WILL BE A GREAT SCHOOL
Its Real Value Not Fully Appreciated
by Congress Until the Recent
Spanish American War.

In his naval estimates for the year
1906 Secretary Moody has asked an appro-
priatiOn of g. 100000 for the Improvement
Of the Naval Academy. Congress agreed
TO allot 100000 for the reconstruction
Of the Annapolis school About $1,000 600
OF this has been expended and the rec
ommendation Of Secretary Moody for
the liberal appropriation for 1905 insures
the continuance of the work o. carrying
out the comprehensive plan Of Ernest
Flagg for a model academy.
Work on the academic building. which
Is so mach needed. will begin this year
This building will cost more than 500 600
The chapel will also be erected this year
The dredging Of the Severn River for
SO-foot channel. and work on the
sea-wall will continue. New officers
quarters, which are 10 cost $4,000. will
also be begun.
In the fiscal year which closed I'm June
the marine engineering building and the
armory and bOathouse were completed
The superintendent home and other
small buildings are In course Of con-
struction.
A PTetentious Institution.
The improvements which Congress is
making possible are converting the
Naval Academy from the temporary in
stitution it formerly appeared to be into
one Of the Government most preten-
tious establishments. Until a few years
ago there was no settled pan for the
development Of the Naval Academy. 1t
had poor buildings Of all styles Of
architecture. and presented a poor ap-
pearance.
Robert NJ. Thompson. OF the class of
1865. conceived the idea that the institu-
ton should not drift along aimlessIy
any longer. and with the assistance of
Ernest Flagg developed plans Tor ex-
pansion which met with favor. Until
1898 Congress failed to appropriate funds
which would make possible the work
OF charging and changing the institu-
ton along the lines suggested. At first
$780, 900 was allotted for this purpose
but the allotment has since been in
creased to 100000.
A complete transformation in old Fort
Severn has been made since the Ioca-
ton OF the Military Academy there in
1916. George Bancroft. of Massachu-
sets. the historian. was instrumental
in bringing the institution into exist
ence.
Bancroft's Efforts.
In eighteen months OF service as Sec
rotary Of the Navy Mr.. Bancroft har-
mOnized all factions in the navy and
convinced naval officers that an acad-
envy where a thorough training could be
given was necessary. Through his in
1uence the schools for midshipmen To-
Gated at Boston, Norfolk. and New
York were discontinued and an institu-
ton worthy Of the American navy was
organized.
At the time Of the civil war the
Naval Academy was moved to Newport,
r. l., on account Of the secession senti-
ment about Annapolis After the war
the apathy OF the public prevented Con-
gress from giving she academy proper
support until the Spanish war empha-
sized the necessity for a larger navy
and making the training OF additional
officers imperative.
