Early Education
Had Been Neglected


sonnel is higher than that of any other
nation in intelligence and ambition, it
has been found that a surprisingly large
number Of bluejackets are without the
equivalent OF Il good common school edu-
cation. Their readiness to learn has been
demonstrated in the development of i
high order of skill behind the guns and
III the engine room. but where practical
work ceases and theoretical knowledge is
necessary for further progress the lack
of rudimentary education. especially in
mathematics. often prevents the POSSIBLE
ity of promotion to the higher ratings or
to commissions. Their knowledge is APP
proXimate, not accurate.
The modern navy is highly technical. A
battleship is not only Il seagoing vessel
but u vast floating machine shop. Not
onc-tenth of the officers Or men are sail
ors in the old sense of the word When
American sea power was represented by
frigates and sloops of war all were sail
ors, but the Introduction of steam sent
large proportion of the crew below to man
the engines and do little else. The clerical
force of II battleship is larger than an

of her Temple. When the business of
the meeting was over, the Princess OF

dered Mrs. Hammett's books closed
and Mrs. Hammett brought before the
throne. She came with open-eyed
wonder on her face. Said Miss Lewis:
SISTER Hammett you are charged with
faithfully discharging your duty for
the past three years. Knowing that
you are guilty, I shall not appoint a
jury to sit upon your case, but shall
proceed to fix the punishment" All
this time the members were spreading
a table. Mrs. Hammett was seated
at the table together with her mother,
little daughter, who was there as a
surprise to her mother, and the OFF,
GERS of the Temple. All other mem
bers present drew their chairs up in
a circle around the persons seated at
the table. The Princess then gave a
few moments for the members who
desired so to do, for expressions of APP
probation for this splendid woman
and her efficient work in the capac-
ity of secretary. Mrs. Maggie Hop
son, Princess of Sylvester Temple,
was present and added a few words,
both fitting and beautiful, to the many
