Officers as Teachers.
"On each ship the school of instruc-
ton is under the general direction of
the commanding officer, the executive
officer having immediate charge, he.
in turn, being assisted by all commits
stoned officers and by such warrant
and petty officers as may be neces-
sary.
1T has become the duty of division
officers carefully to examine all men
under their supervision, noting the de-
ficiencieS Of each man, the amount of
instruction he may have received at
the training station, the branches in
which further instruction Is most
needed, the fitness Of each man for
promotion, the branch for which he is
best suited and the personal prefer
ences and ambitions OF each individual
in order that classes may be formed
to secure progress and improvement
In the mental and technical training
Of men in every branch of the navy
service.
1.-THE instruction in the academic de-
partment is compulsory for all enlisted
men who are not well grounded in the
common school branches, as determin-
ed at the training stations or upon
first enlistment or by an examination
or all men who have not yet competed
two years service in the navy. The
subjects embraced in this department
are reading, writing, arithmetic, spell
ing, geography and history"
Blusjackets' Manual Simplified.
To make the naval or professional
instruction easy as well as systematic
throughout the service subjects are
prescribed which every man, irresDec-
tive of his rating, should know, as
well as subjects which his special rat
ing requires him to be familiar with.
So during the last year the Bluejack-
cts Manual has been revised, making
it simpler for every man to qualify
himself on all matters which his rate
necessitates. In addition special man
uals have been prepared for the pay,
medical and engineer departments to
assist in school work.
Technical training schools are in OPP
eraCion and are very successful. Some
OF these schools are the torpedo and
seaman gunners' school at Newport,
the machinists' school at Charleston.
s. c.; the electricians schools at New
York and Mare Island, the artihcers'
school at Norfolk. the musicians
schools at Norfolk and San Francisco,
the school for cooks and bakers at
Newport, the yeomen's schools at
Newport and San Francisco, the school
for hospital corps at Newport and the
school for newly appointed pay, officers

They mean achievement. They mean

then achievement, more self respect,

1t is very simple thing, yet very
remarkable and interesting thing, that
has taken place in the great United
States navy--a thing which spells op-
portunity, preparation, success.
A Plan With Purpose.
To begin at the beginning, an achieve
ment is usually the result OF a pre-
conceived plan, the fruit OF an idea,
advanced with persevering effort. Sec,
rotary Daniels idea OF the navy is for
one large enough and powerful enough
to make war with the United States too
unpleasant in its consequences to be
seriously considered by any foreign
power and at the same time a navy
that win receive young boys with un-
trained habits and little technical skill
and transform them into young men
trained to discipline, physically fit and
possessed OF a practical knowledge of
technical mechanics that would enable
them to bear more than their share of
the work of making our nation the
greatest in the world. He believes

Men must be on hand to start and stop

reasonably that the more skilled the
men the more the machine can be
made to do and that If the skin and

enhanced the efficiency Of the service
will be increased to that extent.

when he heard of the affair. The

however, and in one of his books of
White House memories Crook tells how
he found Garfield turning hand springs
with his sons that morning.
Crook was in one of the White House
windows when Garfield was brought
back after being shot. The President
was conscious and waved his hand to
a group of White House employees. War
