Of July II, 1911, that when short

GUNBOATS TO BE SCHOOL
FOR YOUNGER OFFICERS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-In order
to give young navy officers a greater
variety of experience in their early
years and to throw them more on
their own resources and teach them
self-reliance, the Navy Department
has adopted a new system in detailing
officers to the %gunboats and smaller
vessels. In the future the period of
duty for gunboat officers. except the
commander, Will be only one year..
so hat a greater number of them
may have the advantage of training
on vessels where their individual re-
sponsibilities and range of duties are
greater.
Another advantage of this policy,
it is believed, is that it will make
duty on gunboats and small cruisers
moro popular, as it will not involve
long separation from the fleet. A
number of ensigns of the class of 1911
are now being detailed to the gum
boats.
