Speech by the Mids.

TIL Secretary of the Navy, upon his
visit to the Naval Academy on May 6
and z, was guest at the weekly din
ner talks of the graduating class
These affairs. which have become
features of the work at the Academy,
were inaugurated at the suggestion of
the present Secretary for the purpose
of giving midshipmen a practical
training in public speaking
All the talks are impromptu. Not
until after dinner is the subject which
is to be discussed announced Their
the midshipmen are called upon to ex-
press their ideas without preparation.
The Secretary considers the ability
of Navy officer to speak at public
functions an important part of his edu-
cation. He does not believe in giving
much attention to elocution or the cul
tivation of oratory. but he thiks that
all Navy officers. when called upon,
should be able to express themselves
without embarrassment. He thinks
this is of especial Importance wheE
officers are serving as naval attaches.
While at the Naval Academy Secre-
tary Daniels considered with Admiral
Fullam the needs of the institution and
witnessed review of snidshipn,en.
Secretary Daniels, on his visit was
