Revival of Seagoing Spirit
Arouses Widespread Inter-
est in the Subject.
SCHOOLS TEACH THE SCIENCE
Glasses In Navigation Being Conducted
by Recruiting Service Of United
States Shipping Board-12,oo0
New Officers Needed.

Washington.-Oneo of the interesting
features of the present great revival In
seagOing spirit throughout the coun-
try is the widespread popularity OF the
study of navigation.
Reports reaching the United States
shipping board indicate lively interest
all over the country In the study OF
this ancient science, which helped
make the nation great in its earliest
years Of independence.
Glasses In navigation, conducted Dy
the recruiting service Of the board, to
train officers for the ships of the new
merchant marine, are being conducted
on both coasts and on the Great Lakes.
Candidates for admission come from
every section of the Union.
The cause Of this nationwide inter-
est in navigation is to be found In the
gigantic development Of the country's
merchant marine. 1t is anticipated
that not less than $4,000 new officers
will be required to handle the Ameri-
can cargo-carrying vessels now under
construction, and not less than S5,OOO
men will be wanted for the crews.
A merchant officer today has many
advantages In studying navigation that
were not known to his seagoing ances-
tors. There was never a time when
the aids to navigation were so numer-
Gus as now, or so well developed.
While the manner in which q navi-
gator determines his ships position on
the vast face Of the deep must always
be something of a mystery to the lands
man, 1t does not long remain SO to the
earnest student of navigation. Some
of the students at shipping board
schools have been able. after three
weeks study, to determine by obser-
walton the position Of a ship at sea
within three miles, which Is considered
creditable performance. The best
navigators, on large ships, when able
to check up their observations by the
work of more than one observer, some.
times do no better.
Early Navigation.
In the early days Of ocean naviga.
ton the navigator never knew his pO-
sition at sea within many leagues. II
was customary for ships on the voy'
age from Europe to America to sail
westerly until a landfall was made
then coast to their destination.
