NAVY HIGH ROAD
 ID ANNAPOLIS

In recent legislation Congress has authorized the appointment of one hundred enlisted men to the Naval Academy at Annapolis each year where they will be trained as officers. This is wonderful op- yor'unity for young Americans who have the necessary mental and phy- sical qualifications and age, and is published for the information of he young men as well as parents.
 To secure this prize it is neces- say that young men enlist in the United states Navy and serve one year as an enlisted man; he then becomes eligible to apply for the examination, provided he Is under tweIMy years of age. The examin- aticn is strictly competitive and the best man wins. No appointment fIor Congressmen is required and influence, political or otherwise, is of no help. The scope of the en- trance examination is about equal to 6 high school education. It Is not necessary that a boy have a high schco! education, however, as schools are maintained on all ships ard stations where officers are de- tailed a tutors and where boys are 0reuared for examination.

This is a much surer way of enter ing Annapolis than trying to se- cure Sn appointment from civil life. It will be born in mind that of all the men of the Navy only about four thousand are of the proper age (un- dar twenty) which means that one out of every four hundred will se- cure the appointment. Also the vast majority of those four hundred hay hat no high school work, probably only a grammar school education, so it can be seen that a boy with some nigh school work who is studious aI d ambitious, has an excellent chance Of securing this appointment

SCHOOL HEALTH SUPERVISION

permits school boards to maintain
health departments and dental clinics
in the schools. The opposition arises
It IS stated, from religious sects and
medical organizations which fear that
the law would interfere with the lib
critics of their children and perhaps
with professional incomes.
There IS no more reason why prop
er health department and supervision

schools than could he urged against
the health departments OF the state or

great Importance religious convictions
and professional exigencies must con-

dental clinic can IN any way interfere
with religion or medical practice Is not
clear.
