on the subjects embraced in the competitive
examination by means OF which he gained en-

subjects as seamanship, navigation. ordnance
and gunnery law engineering, etc. The meth

West Point and Annapolis. A high standard
of academic work is rigidly maintained and a
failure in a single subject OF the course-that

followed by request for the resignation Of

only within the past few years that any great

vantage Of this field of endeavor. AS 1t has

The young men who nowadays gain entrance
to the cadet school of the revenue cutter
service have a distinct advantage appli-
cants for West Point and Annapolis In that
they are not required to make n long journey
to take their entrance examinations. The ex.
tensve machinery OF the United States civil
service commission conducts these examina-
tions and enables the average youth to make
the test right at home by journey to the
nearest large city. The examinations are
thorough and comprehensive, but not of
undue severity and 1t is n comfort to give as
surance that they are strictly competitive,
politicai and social influences being entirely
eliminated. In this respect the revenue cutter
school is decidedly the most democratic insti.

The especial desire of the officials of the
revenue cutter service Is to secure as cadets

college training whose education has pro-
gressed to the point where in civil life they
would embark upon profession. Other things

Telegrapher's Cramp.

An interesting feature Of the telegrapher's
cramp is that certain letters are nearly always
the stumbling block. The most frequent are
G and Y-that is, the code signals used for
these letters. When sender begins to be
conscious" about so common letter as G
his case soon becomes hopeless.
Another form Of cramp attacks the receiver
of the message 1t takes the form Of inability
to write fast enough to take down a message
quickly transmitted. This is easily understood
when 1t is remembered that a receiver often
has to write continuously to code dctation, so
to speak, for hours at a time. The strain in.
volved Is enormous and leads fairly commonly
to what is practically a nervous break down.
