OUTLINES HIS PLANS
FOR FLOATING SCHOOLS
Secretary Daniels Appeals to Off
GERS and Men to Make New
System a Success.

According to Secretary Daniels plans
for academic and technical instruction of
enlisted men of the navy, the floating
schools will be in session an hour and a
quarter daily. except Saturdays and
holidays. Three-quarters of the time will
be devoted to academic instruction and
the remainder to man-of-war work. His
hopes for the success of this innovation
are summarized in this passage from the
general order putting the educational
system into effect:
"rhe success of the educational sys-
tenn, which is tentatively outlined and
which is in some measure now de-
l'arturo in naval routine. will necessarily
depend upon the energy, zeal and direct
personal leadership of all officers in the
navy, and upon the earnest efforts and
ambitions of the enlisted men. 1t is con-
iidently anticipated. however, in view of
the traditional interest of officers in the
welfare of their men. and considering the
superior quality of the men who enlist in
the American navy. that any difficulties
encountered in carrying out this system
will soon disappear, and that the men,
fully approaching the Jealous efforts and
kindly interest of their officers, will re-
spond to sympathetic instruction in a
manner that will result not only in pro-
motion of their individual welfare but
in the increased efficiency of the fleet in
all practical directions"
Course of Instruction.
Academic instruction, embracing
reading, writing. arithmetic, spelling
and geography, will be compulsory for
all who are not well grounded in these
common-school branches. until salts
factory standard has been reached.
Man-of- war instruction will embrace
those subjects which every man on
board ship irrespective of his rating
should know. Chief petty officers will
be given the training which their call
ing requires, and an opportunity Will be
given men DESTROYS of attaining spe-
cial ratings.
Text books. in simple language. will
be prepared at the Naval Academy. In
structions on board ship will be under
the direction of the commanding officer,
other officers acting as instructors. and
a complete record of each mans prog
ress will become a permanent part OF
his enlistment record.

to che laying contest hAns that are typical representatives of the breed they stand for. These breeders, how ever, have not been so careful about color perhaps because they have felt no doubt that an occasional black feather In a Barred Rock or a little creaminess in a white bird would not afHec& the egg yield adversely. Of the one hundred and thirty Plymouth Rocks entered in the Competition only ten were disqualified by the judge, namely. six Barred, three vVhItes, and one Buff.
 and also the best pen, his average score being 89A and the best in- dfviduaI going up to 91A. His bdrd No I g was scI1t only 2A points for shape and Hen No. IT was cut only 5A points for color. Branford Farms. Grotoi, had both best individual and best pen in the White Rocks, their pen average being s2 1S and their hen No. 110 the best individual, scoring 94; she was cut only two points for shape. Tho Bun Rocks of A. A. Hall. Dambury, made an average score of sS. The best individual scored 9t5@ and was cut only az po4nts for shape.
 The Plymouth Rocks and the Wyan- dottes seem to have stood the zero weather better and in consequence had things their own way in the eighth week. 11eaIe Bros White Wyandottes from Apponaug, R. l., won first for the week with 40 eggs to their credit. The high scoring Rocks or Tuttle's mentioned above won sec ond with a yield Of 30 eggs. Merritt M Clarkss Barred Rocks from Brook field Center, and Ed Cams White Wyand ottes from Hoghton. England tied for third place with 35 eggs each
 The total yield for all pens amount cd to 1,475 or 8 eggs less than the preceding week but relatively 286 eggs better than for &ne corresponding week last year.
 The Ieghorns again fell off a little in their production but it is believed that with a break in the unusually cold weather that has prevailed for the past two weeks they will check the tendency to lower yields
 The ten leading pens to date are as follows:
