Secretary Daniels Commended for See
ing . Light Ut Last.

To " EDIroR ~ THE S~UN--Sir: 10
not JOsephus Daniels's plea for civilian
teachers. especially In English. at An
napolis, an admission from the fountain
head OF the nav that the midshipmen
are not properly taught?
Is 1t not possible that the dismissal
OF great. husky men. excellent mathe-
matioians but lacking a slight mark In
languages. may have been a little dras-
tic and not sound judgment on the part
OF those In authority? The Annapolis
boys complain bitterly OF the inefIciency
OF officer teachers. Until now Mr. Dam
iels has ignored many personal COM
plants. Now the mischief has been done
In the case OF a number Of men OF the
type which Winslow insists should man.
age ships at sea.
Take, for instance. the case OF a GER
lain very conscientious lieutenant-com-
mander who has been on board ship for
Years. and h now Is supposed to act
as instructor to beginners In tedious and
difficult subjects. Practice makes per-
feet nowhere more than In the teach
Ing profession. and a sailor who finds II
necessary ito 81, W till morning" to
look over the next days work In aca-
demic subjects is certainly not the man
10 impose upon pupils his recently d.
gcsted knowledge.
Among the midshipmen II has been
diligently repeated that HI unprece-
dented fiunks of February were due en-
iirely to inadequate instruction from I'M
seasoned teacher officers. For once Mr..
Daniels has listened to reason.
