open to the capable and deserving.
Apart from it's military value, bat
tleship is an Industrial training
school, on which instruction is given
in the mechanical trades, electricity,
and wireless telegraphy and practical
experience in the workshop. In no
other environment are diligence and
ability more encouraged and appre-
ciated, and in none is promotion more
assured.
It is not easy to determine why the
navy should have difficulty in obtain
ing recruits. There have been isolat-
Led cases of indignity cast on the
naval uniforms on shore, but such
cases are exceptional and the uniform
/ is respected throughout the country
as long as the wearer COMFORTS him
self as he should. The distinctions
and privileges of rank are not irk-
some or arbitrary, and the social and
official relations of officers and men
are governed by mutual courtesy and
good manners.
The fundamental obstacles to enlist
ment seem to be the confinement Incl
dent to life at sea, the separation from
home and friends and the dislike en-
!tertained by the majority Of Ameri-
cans to the curtailment of personal
liberty and the exactions of military
discipline. Notwithstanding these
