BRADLEY A. flake II determines its
g, character, Its com.
position, its aims; and 30 far as ex-
-ternal conditions will permit, the re-
suits which It accomplishes.
One dislikes intensely to criticise
his own country, even to himself. But
when naval officer Is studying
he should continually do--what must
be done, In order to protect his coun-
try from attack by some foreign foe.
II would be criminal folly for him to
estimate the situation otherwise than
honestly; and to do this, It Is neces.
sary to try to zee where his c0un-
try Is weak and where strong, rela-
lively to the possible foes In question.
II we do this, and compare the stra-
tegical methods employed by--say Ger
many and us--we are forced to admit
that the German methods are better
adapted to producing economically a
navy fitted to contend successfully
IN war against an enemy. In Ger
many the development Of the navy
has been strictly along the lines
OF q method carefully devised before
hand; In our country no method what.
ever Is apparent, at least no logical
method. Congress. and Congress alone,
decides what vessels and other craft
shall be built, how many officers and
men shall wear the uniform. II Is true
that they consult the report Of the
Secretary OF Navy, and ask the opin.
ions OF some naval officers; and It Is
true that the Secretary Of Navy gets
the opinions OF certain naval officers
including the General Board. before
making his report. But both the Sec
retary and Congress estimate the sit
uation from their own points Of view,
and place their own value on the ad-
vice Of naval OFFICERS. And the advice
OF these naval officers Is not so val
uab,e, possibly.as II might be; for the
reason that Il 10 really irresponsible,
since the advisers themselves know
that II will not be taken very seri-
ously. The difference between the
advice OF men held responsible for
the results OF following their advice,
and the advice OF men not so held
responsible, n we'll recognized. and
Is discussed fully In the reports Of
the Moody and the Swift Boards on
the organization OF the Navy Depart
ment. Furthermore. our off.eers 40
not have the machinery Of the Krisg
spiel 10 help them. II 10 true that
at the Naval War College. war
game apparatus Is installed and that
war games are played. and war prob
lens are solved; but the officers are
very properly engaged in the regular
work Or war college, In educating
officers Iu the principles OF warfare
and have little time for other work
II is also true that the war games and
problems there do lead occasionally Il
recommendation by the War College
to the General Board as to various
matters; but the connection between
the conclusions OF the War College
and the decisions Of congyess via tht
General Board and the Secretary o.
Navy Is so fragile and dlscontlnuous
that II may truthfully be said that th'
influence of the war games at oul
War College has but 4 faint resern

 This indicates to how large an extent the University summer school is supply. ing the needs of the Alabama teacher. Several new departments are being added and among these is the physical educa- tion department to be presided over by Miss Emma Ody Pohl of the school of physical education in the Mississippi In- dustrial Institute and College Miss Pohl
 is an artist in her line and in addition to the usual gymna stics, which will be so much appreciated by the women teachers, will conduct classes in esthetic and folk dances. Her success in this work has been evidenced by the beautiful pageants she has given in Mississippi, Tennessee and other places. She was at the George Peabody College for Teachers in the summer of 1916 and gave a re- markedly fine pageant. This is a type of work just becoming known in this part of the country and this opportunity will be seized with avidity by the many teach CTS who have to teach folk dances and do pageant work, a regular feature of many schools at this time.

HOWARD SUMMER
 SCHOOL PLANS ARE
 WELL UNDER WAY
Effort Is Being Made to Triple the Attendance Recorded During Second Session

Unusual effort is being put forth on year to make the third session triple the attendance of the second session, |according to Prof. John c. Dawson, chairman of the summer school com mittee Attendance for the second ses- sion was three times as large as that Iof the first session. and Professor Daw- Ison says there is every indication that the third session, which begins June l7 and extends to July IS. will smash last years record.
 Thirteen teachers have been added Ito the Howard summer school faculty,
 the great majority being regular col |lege professors. Indications Saturday
 were that more teachers would be
 added before the session opens, in- quiries indicating a larger attendance
 than the college had expected.
 Birmingham is such an ideal place for summer school and Howard col |lege has gained such good name in its first efforts at summer work that
 we are confident of a full school" said Professor Dawson. Our faculty is one of our strongest points, and we are making it plain to prospective teach CTS that we are not giving a house house party, but are in for good, solid work"

STATE UNIVERSITY i ISNOW BUSY PLACE
Reservations Indicate That Summer School Will Be
 Unusually Successful


 University, June 2.-(Special. 1.-The echoes of commencement have scarcely died out from university halls, but they are being supplanted by the rush and bustle attendant upon the preparations for the opening of the summer school on the 5th. Every room in the university is being secured and scrubbed and made sweet and clean for the reception of the teachers from everywhere in the state. The dormitories occupied by boys dur ing the winter session are turned over to women at the summer school and to an old student it always looks odd though interesting to see girls adorning the stoops used so many years exclu- siYely by men. One of the buildings is reserved for men, but the greater amount of space is turned over to the feminine contingentA
