very much delighted to see the favor
able change in our sons physical con-
dition. He is pleased with the work
and the treatment he has received, SO
much so that he told his mother he
would like to serve thirty years. A
press report read: "Those naval boys
certainly did gallant work down in the
flood district. 1t shows what training
Of young men does"
1t is in times of trouble and disaster
that the effects of naval training and
discipline are made manifest. The
readiness to obey, quickness to respond
to appeals for help and resourcefulness
in emergencies shown at such times
should and do win friends for the ma
val training system and give it Sc
cure position in the hearts of the
American people.
On the occasion of the floods that
devastated a great portion of the mid
die west two years ago relief eXpedi-
ton was sent from one of the training
stations to the stricken district in
northern Indiana and performed excel
lent work in relieving distress and saw
ing lives. Speaking of the stirring
events Of that time, a paper related
how "the recruits had gone over their
boats, fitted them for service, loaded
them with five days rations for the re-
lief squad and medical appliances and
wheeled the six big yawls to the rail-
road track. At noon the train,
which was the first big relief train to
leave Chicago, had reached the Wa
bash above Logansport, the recruits
had unlashed the boats, run them
down to the stream and started row.
ing for the city. Later the chairman
Of the Logansport relief committee tel
egraphed that the boys from the train
ing station were doing fine work and
had already saved many lives. After
doing what was most urgent for Lo-
gansport the squad moved on toward
the other stricken cities twenty and
thirty miles down the river" On the
return of the train "a crowd of thank
full flood sufferers gathered around the
train when 1t left the stricken city.
Wet and spattered with mud, they
stood and cheered the bluejackets. A
woman with two sons asked the officer
in charge 20 take the boys with him
and put them in the training school,"
Thus it is seen that early In life
these lads receive the benefit that
comes from being given mems work,
work that counts and brings them to
the front.
If the parents of these lads could
know how carefully every minute Is
provided for in this six months course,
what watchful care is given to those
under training, they would be well con-
tent in the knowledge that whatever
might have been their anxiety before,
they were then at least free from
worry as to the whereabouts Of their
boys, both night and day. For all
such the old song Where Is My Boy
Tonight" loses its poignancy and be-
comes one Of peace, the comforting
answer to which is well known.

INSTRUCTION OF NAVAL RE-
CRUlTS IN SWIMMING.

r N essential feature Of in
"A struction which all appren-
tice seamen receive at the
naval training station is in
swimming. This instruction Is
given under competent instruc-
tors and in swimming pools
ashore, the water being heated to
a moderate temperature, and the
men are taught strokes which
will enable them to swim with
out difficulty. Later, after being
assigned to seagoing vessel,
these swimming exercises are
continued until every man quail
fies under the rules. Many of
our apprentice seamen come
from inland states where no OPP
portunity is available to learn to
swim.
