must either sit still and see things ret
rograde or improve them.
There never was a ship that could
not be improved, and it will be your
duty TO find the way and, in the spirit
of true service. TO improve the ship in
morale and material TO which you are
assigned. And you need not wait until
you become a commander. You will
succeed, however let me admonish you,
AT first by expanding your efforts in
performing your own duty so well as
TO win the approval of your superior
officers. You will defeat your ambi-
ton to make things better if you fail to
remember that your views are to be
tested before they are aired and that
the experience of your elders is pre-
sumption that they have more knowl-
edge than you possess. But, as the
lawyer says, it is presumption that
may be rebutted. In saying this, | do
not mean that youth is TO be afraid of
its discoveries, or wait for gray hairs
or promotion to make new inventions
or devise better tactics Indeed, youth
is the period of initiative, and you will
find that older officers will encourage
every modest and earnest effort TO add
a knot to the speed of the ship of to
find any new method making for naval
efficiency. Readiness cannot be sepa-
rated in our day from study. initiative
and invention.

The educatioal forces of the city of Hartford are soon to be valuably aug mented by the services of Prof. O. z. Swisher, one of the best known and highest rated instructors of the state of Kansas. He will occupy the po- sition of principal and head teacher of the seoretarial department of the Morse college and will personally teach both the Pitman and Gregg sys- tems of stenography, assisted by an able and increased force of instructors in the same subjects, as we'll as touch Itypewriting, English, correspondence. penmanship and the office routine practices of a private secretary. Prof.
 Swisher is one of those rare self made
 men who has worked up through ex- perienoe to the top round of the ladder of success in business He is a gradu-
 ate with honors from the Gymnasir m
 Kansas high school, Salina normal university and MoPherson college, in which latter place he received the de- gree of master of accounts. He holds the first grade teachers life-certificate of the state of Kansas and is a mem-
 ber of the examining board for teach- CTS. He is one of the authorities of the west in the arrangement and con. duct of normal business training cours- es and is widely experienced in all
 kinds of public stenographic service
 covering short periods in banking, commission, real estate, collections, ! law, hardware, lumber. insurance and | court reporting. This experience ad- | mirably adapts him to the teaching of secretarial office practice which will put finish of inestimable value upon the practical equipment of Morse graduates This last addition to the
 already superior teaching force at the
 Morse college puts this institution far and away in the lead of business and stenopranhio schools of Conn.
