tion the service has ship specially constructed
as "dereict destroyer"-the only vessel OF the
kind In the world.
Commissioned officers of the United States reve-
nue. cutter service have rank with the officers of
the army and navy and receive the same benefits
of retirement as are accorded these officers. The
officers trained for the service at the revenue
cutter cadet school, located at New London, Conn
Young men enter at any age between eighteen and
twenty.four, and in addition to exactions in book
learning must undergo military and nautlcal
training that In some respects is even more ardu'
Gus than that given at Uncle Sans big academies
at Annapolis and West Point. OF course the
classes at the cadet school are comparatively small
sometimes there are not more than two dozen
embryo officers enrolled at the institution, but this
is to be expected for the revenue cutter service
does not need the great numbers OF officers re-
quired for rapidly growing navy Indeed, there
less than three hundred commissioned officers
on the revenue cutter roster, where the warrant
officers and enlisted will probably not total
more than fifteen hundred although Uncle Sam is
constantly adding to his fleet of revenue cutters,
and this expansion is reflected in the active list
The navigating responsibilities of the officers of
the nations police boats probably exceed those
of any other men in the naval maritime service.
Unlike many of the men who go down to the sea
In ships, they do not confine themselves to given
path. On the contrary, the young revenue
cutter officer may be called upon at short notice
to navigate his ship in any waters from south
ern Florida to northern Alaska, and he must enter
many bays and arms of the sea where no naval
or merchant vessel would ever be required to go
For these versatile demands the revenue cutter
officers are especially trained during their cadet
course. Each year during the three-year course
the cadets spend several months a cruising

the Atlantic, partly under steam and partly by
sail power. The boys attend to all the operations
connected with the navigation Of the vessel
gaining that grounding of practical experience that
will be valuable in later years-and incidently
they continue that small arms and ordnance prac'
tice which is feature of their schooling on shore
The motto of the United States revenue cutter serv
ice is "Semper Paratus," which may be translated
as always Ready" and certainly the Yankee police
force of the high schools has eloquently proven in
recent years that the words of this slogan convey
no idle boast,
