nance and Engineering Work.

Secretary Moody today approved re-
port made to him by a board consisting OF
Rear Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau
of navigation; Rear Admiral Converse,
chief of the bureau Of ordnance, and Rear
Admiral Rae, chief of the bureau of steam
engineering recommending that four mid
shipmen each year be detailed for ord
nance and four for steam engineering
duty. The board reported to the Secretary
that after a long consideration Of the sub
ject the decision was reached that the In
tricate and technical character of ordnance
and steam engineering necessitates spe-
cial training in those two important
branches of the naval service. This duty
Is to be performed by the midshipmen de-
tailed when ashore between their cruises,
sea duty to be performed according to the
regular practice.
To supply the need now existing four
