are no advanced registry cows in the

BRITISH NAVY

Great Britain'S constant effort TO
maintain her supremacy at sea is evil
deneed by the fact that twenty-five
~battleships and battle cruisers for her
navy. all of the most modern design.
will be under construction in British
shipyards during the present year.
Then there are the three ~battleships
which Mr.. Borden, premier of Canada,
HAS asked the dominion parliament TO
present to the mother country, and the
vessel for which the Federated Malay
States have voted the money and
which. like those from Canada. will be
a modern battleship.
British shipyards are also building
six more large modern warships for
foreign governments. The total new
displacement under way amounts to
6Jo.000 tons. and the cost will N very
near $780, 10000.
To complete these warships with the
necessary speed will require very care
full organization. Already recent Brit
ish programs are in arrears, and there
are likely to be some delays with this
record in warship construction. Here
tofore the admiralty has calculated on
two years for the completion of a bat
tleship. but it is probable that it will
now have TO revise this estimate.

Survey of the Worlds News

a NEW plan of Industrial training
"a for children more than four
teen years old is outlined by
- DIR. Herman Schneider, dean
OF the College Of Engineering OF the
University of Cincinnati. The New
York board Of estimates committee on
school inquiry employed DIR. Schneider
as one of eleven educational authorities
to investigate the public school system
Of New York city.
DIR. Schneider favors the establish
ment of a compulsory continuation
school law making it incumbent ON EN-
plovers of children of school age TO
send the children to school for not less
than four hours a week in he daytime
whenever the public school system es-
tablishes such schools. He has a CO
operative scheme. based on an agree
ment between u group of manufactur-
ers and n school system. whereby the
manufacturers agree to institute and
carry on a thorough and comprehensive
apprentice course in their particular
trades and in which the school agrees
TO give both general and specialized
instruction TO the apprentices. The
school course is devised by the school
authorities. In most cases the mount
of school instruction is equal to the
amount of shop work. The apprentices
are usually divided into two sections
which alternate with each other-for
example. by weeks-so that when n
section is at the shop the other is at
school. and both shops and school.
therefore. are always fully manned. The
apprentices are paid for their work in
the shop on the regular apprenticeship
scale of their particular trade.
