CURRICULUM TO Be IMPROVED
Special Board VIII Suggest Changes
at Naval Academy.
President Considers Present Course
Too Theoretical and Desires 1t
Made More Practical.

A special board consisting Of Capt.
Richard Wainwright. Commander Robert
S. Griffin. Albert S. Key. and Lieut.. T.
L. Johnson. recorder, has been desig-
mated by the Navy Department, and is
now at work upon q plan to improve the
curriculum at the Annapolis Naval Acad-
emy.
The board has held several meetings in
Annapolis and is now in session in Wash
ington. The board has been given no spe-
ci1c instructions, but its purpose is 10
make recommendations Of such modih-
cations as may be found advisable in
the four years course of midshlpmen.
It is understood that the President re-
CARDS the present course as too theoret-
ical. and holds that it should be made
more practical
The course has never been revised since
the Foundation Of the Academy. but as
at present constituted is a development
intended to keep pace with the develop
ment Of the modern navy. In some re-
spects, however. Il is believed by many
naval men that improvements can be
made Il is understood that Rear Admiral
Brownson, new chief Of the Bureau Of
Navigation. shares this opinion.
The board is At present engaged in ex-
amining the courses at various technical
schools. such as the Boston School Of
Technology, the Try Institute the tech
nical schools at Leigh, Harvard. Yale.
and at several other similar institutions.
Il is pointed out that many midshipmen
who are capable Of making good sailor
men are unable TO come up TO the de
sired standard in the theoretical branches.
and It is TO overcome the situation in
this respect that the board will direct
its efforts.
At the same time it is held that the
standard must be fixed with mathe-
mates as the basis for the reason that
seamanship is not an exact science. The
board Is required TO submit its report
not later than August !.
