engaged in Joint operations. While
VIC have never suffered very much
from this cause. yet thc clear under-
standing of the missions Of the two
forces and tine closer touch with each

q good effect and make clearer to each

The Army War College is a section
OF the General Staff and as such proba-
bly, eXerts more influence on the prepa-
ration of war plans thar does the Naval
War College. But the preparation Of
war plans is not the function Of the
Naval War College. hut rather the
study of the principles on which those
plans are based and the criticism Of
such plans when they deviate from the
principles which both study and en-
pericnce point out az necessary for
success.
The system Of solution Of the various
strategical and tactical problems at the
Naval War College used to he one Of
committees; that is. the various
problems when solved represented the
combined ideas of a group OF officers,
Now the solutions are the results Of
the effort of individuals. and in this
way the habit Of looking at these prob
lens with the end in view OF personal
oUiution, the end which war command
would demand, Is in my opinion a bet
tor method of training the mind Of the
individual, The other system may
have derived a better solution of a
given problem, but the mind Of the
individual was moi trained to rest on
It's unaidcd effort, which it would have
TO do in war command.
In the games which are worked out
as char manpuvres or on the game
board there Is of course a division into
our side and an enemy n the two
