ARMY AND NAVY NOTES
No Change Likely in Entrance
EXAMS" for Annapolis.


CAPTAIN GIBBONSS VIEWS OP-
POSED.-The naval authorities do not
share the views of Captain John II. CID
bOns, superintendent of the Naval Acad-
cmy. in favor Of changing the method OF
examining candidates FOR the academy
At present candidates are examined under
the Civil Service commission at points
near their homes. Formerly they were
ordered 10 Annapolis. Under the old SYs-
TEN it was found that many candidates
and alternates failed 10 appear ana
there were usually man. vacancies III un'
corps Of midshpmen.
II has been found by experience that
while there arc disadvantages In eNalnin-
ing candidates all over the country inc
Naval Academy obtains larger huil'oli
of those qualified than when the eAaii"-
nations were held at Annapolis
Captain Gibbons believes that there
should be a return TO the ola me'h'u' !"
Iicving that it would improve the mordi'
of tho midshipmcn. which mas uC''l'
Grated. according TO an opinion whlch ne
expressed recently before the hous'
Naval Committee. There IS likely 10 W.
no change, however.
Another phase which operates to as
courage Captain Gibbons's proposal Is
that the appearance OF 50 many o"',"'
d,tos n ANNAPOLIS would result IN add'-
tio,aI preparatory schools IN that CITY
.rboe. schools have been regarded as
more or less Of an interference WI"
Naval Academy discipline.
