He has selected George A. Carroll for
the academy and the young man will
take the examination July 9th and
If successful he will be admitted to
the academy Immediately. Senator
Thompson thinks there is no reason
why there should not be an Admiral
Carroll in due time. The govern
ment expends $4,000 toward the
education Of each graduate from this
institution and the young Ipen who
get through are splendidly equipped
for the future, should they care to
remain in the service. The boys are
allowed $500 per year for expenses
while in the academy. Senator
Thompson has been very liberal to-
ward his home town boys in matters
of this kind and 1t is safe to say that
If there is an applicant from here
qualified for an appointment Of this
kind he will get 1t when the opening
occurs. We hope our boys who are
DESTROYS of such appointments will
get in touch with the Senator and
secure full information about them
