INQUIRY At ANNAPOLIS
,oNDITIONS APPALLING
m SECRETARY MEYER.
e.,,oeon General Rirey Ordered to
Find Out Why So Many Midship-
men Fail in Physical Tests.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau !

L;-r-on June 5.-The Secretary of the
can't for Surgeon General Rixey to-day
~ .-sered vigorous and immediate investi-
81 ~ the conditions at Anna polls. which in
.,inior. have led to appalling number of
IONS Of nidshipmen on the final physical
9;,ation. Secretary Meyer learned officially
- that out of a class of $50 midshipmen
- - .bree we're debarred from graduating be-
- # phvsical disability most of them be
g of defective eyesight or a pathological
,,,ion Of the valves of the heart. This sub
= came TO the attention OF the Secretary
..-,reb nine Of the rejected midshipmen coming
a-sshington to apply for examination for
missions in the coast defence corps in which
-4ns glasses is not forbidden as 1t is in the
rag.
- Never EXPRESSED himself TO Dr. Rixey as
,.led at a condition at the Naval Academy
-sscb could result in the failure from physical
,rses Of SO large a percentage Of 4 class the
-.,hers Of which were subjected TO the severest
,,vscal examination before being admitted to
-. academy. where they have lived under pre-
.n-ablv ideal physical conditions for four years
The Secretary told DR.. Rixey that in his
,,i7jon there must be something radically
,-o.r either with the examinations held before
s-,,rting the young men to the academy or
slse in the conditions which attended their life
,bs-s and whatever il was II must be discovered
and remedied
On inquiry Mr.. Meyer found that last year
NTH graduating class of two hundred, eighty
cr more midshipmen were rejected after the
,hvsioal test, and this only served to confirm his
view that there was something defective in the
systsrn al the academy Some members OF the
faculty. at Annapolis have expressed the opinion
,5rate1y that the course of study is so hard
ss seriously 10 overwork the men and TO con-
sttute 4 grave menace TO their physical we'll
being and the condition of the graduating
classes Of the last two years would seem TO bear
out the contention
Whatever the cause may be, Mr.. Meyer is
determined that II shall be discovered and cor
-ected and the surgeon general will immediate
ly undertake the investigation with which he is
charged.
