Naval Academy Curriculum.
The naval board, composed Of Capt.
Wainwright Commander Griffin and Lieut..
Commander Key, which was charged with
the dut" Of examining the curriculum of
the Naval Academy with a view to its i'm
provement. has completed it's work and
made its report to the Secretary of the
Navy
Persons who expected to find any
startling changes in method recommended
by the board will be disappointed An idea
had obtained that the course at Annapolis
was too theoretical. and not sufficiently
practical. Especially was this criticism
directed against the preponderance given
to mathematics. The board did not find
this criticism to be we'll founded and
mathematics probably will continue to re-
ceive the highest markings in the first two
years. Some Encouragement of the course
in modern languages is suggested and
other small changes but there is nothing
like the sweeping revision of the Annapolis
course that was expected in some quar-
ters.
