EDUCATION IN The NAVY.
II.-Studying for Promo

By Frederic J. Haski1l.

Behind Secretary Daniels education
policy is a desire to open new doors for
the promotion Of the enlisted men. The
navy laws now permit twelve warrant
officers annually to take examination for
commissions as ensigns. Warrant Of
fcers are usually men who have come
up from the ranks and whose experience
is practical rather than theoretical.
Boatswains. chief carpenters. chief
machinists. chief electricians and gun
ners are warrant officers. -Four of them
last year thus gained their commissions
\ considerable number of officers have
thus come up from the ranks, but Secre-
tary Daniels believes there should be
more and does not despair to hope that
some OF the least educated recruits who
are obliged 10 undergo academic instruc-
ton III the three RS may ultimately win
the right TO mess in the wardroon.
Although the pay OF both officers and
neil in the United States Navy is higher
than in any other service. the recruiting
officers have usually experienced diff
