MORE OFFICERS AS INSTRUCTORS.
Six civilian instructors employed at the
Naval Academy at a salary OF sl,S0
year each Will be leSislated out or ONCE
! IT. Congress adopts the recommendation
made by the head of the academy and
approved by the Secretary Of the Navy.
The estimates Tor the support OF the
institution this year include provision
for only four OF the ten civilian instruc-
tors. 81 being intended TO replace six OF
them BY naval officers. The civilians
directly affected have filed protest
against their removal
The Navy Department mas submitted
10 the House Naval Committee no reason
for the change but 1t il known that the
naval authorities have long felt that
there were TOO many civilian instructors
at the academy. II Il desired that the
functions OF the officers now confined
chiefly TO drilling, extend 10 the lecture
rooms and so promote the military
spirit.
Some members OF the House Naval Com
mittee are not in favor OF the change
largely on account OF the expense in
volved FOR. while there would be a
saving I'm the salaries of six $l.sO civilian
instructors, the pay and allowances Oh
commissioned officers who would replace
then amount 10 much more than that
sum each year. Besides, the Navy De-
partmcut complains Of a dearth of of!i-
GERS and there is a dissemination on
the part Of some members Of the. com
mittee to approve legislation increasing
the shore bllets OF naval officers.
