crufts 70 may be pointed out that APP
prentices are accepted only between
the ages Of IL and 1T years, and in
most instances are bound over to the
service of the government during mi
nority, agreements to that effect be-
ing signed by parents or guardians.
I.apdsmen, on the other hand, may be
minors at the time of enlistment, but
there is no such imperative necessity
for the qualification Of youth since they
are accepted when over IL years OF
age.
Just here It may be noted that the
curriculum at the new lake station will
show less difference between the
courses of instruction for landsmen
and apprentices than has heretofore
been manifest in our navy. Prior 10
the Spanish American war Uncle
Sans naval officers scarcely thought
it worth while to give landsmen any
preliminary instruction prior TO plung-
ing them into the duties of life on our
floating strongholds, but since the con-
flict with Spain awoke the nation TO
its naval needs there has been followed
a plan whereby each Iandsman re-
ceives three months schooling at
station and a like amount on~a train
ing vessel The apprentices have been
receiving six months practical train
ing on the shore and six months at1oat,
and it is planned to have landsmen at
the new lake station have the benefit
of like amount.
The boy who enters upon career at
Uncle Sans fresh water headquarters
for the making Of naval seamen will
have a mighty busy time of 1t from the
minute he takes up hts new vocation.
He will be furnished upon arrival with
a uniform and equipment Of bedding.
and will be expected to learn to care
for himself and keep his clothing in
the pink Of condition. Almost from
the start he will have a chance to
familiarize himself with the small
arms drill, and will be taught to load
and aim a four or ffve-inch gun. Then
they will make trips in tugs or yachts,
upon which they will be taught TO
steer, to heave the lead, to get under
way, and to anchor.
At the lake station there will be
continuance in the fullest degree OF
Uncle Sans policy of making the en-
listed men of the American navy take
rank as the best paid, best clothed
and best fed naval sailors in the world.
| The meals which will be served
will be made up of such whole
some dishes as roast beef, pota'
toes, stewed corn, bread, milk, coffee
and ginger snaps. In order, too, that
the boys shall have no possible grouno
for dissatisfaction, it has been ar
ranged to give each one fthem Ia
days leave of absence at the close OF
the training period in order that ne
may visit his home and in the full
glory of his spick and span new naVa
toggery lord it over his envious ano
less fortunate chums ere he takes w
his new duties on one of the nation
cruising men-of-war.
