Of every navy's efficiency is the one word per
sonneL" Ships but the instrument. The real
navy consists of the the ships and it is the
quality of that real navy which, after all is said, is
the supreme pride of the United States.
How shall this supremacy in personnel be held
and increased In every city and town are flaming
posters urging young men to join the navy. What
Is the central nducement given to these fine young
Americans? 1t is that American ships are
American schools with all their. advantages not
alone to advance them in rank and pay while in
the navy but to provide them a useful remunera-
tive vocation when they return to civil life Con-
gress must not leave this most important feature
out of the naval budget.
Is this government going to keep that pledge
break it? 1t is more than pledge to the hope
to be broken in fu6llment? The naval budget will
be the answer There schools now on the
ships. Will these be continued? They will be if
provision for them is in this budget. Is there?
These schools but small item of expense, COM
paratively The instruction costs nothing 1t is the
free will offering of the officers of each ship.
Nothing is more conclusive of the value of
these schools than the fact that these officers, in
every instance, not only willing, but want to
take: this extra responsibility They are the strong
est supporters of the system as shown by their
reports. Moreover, naval ship is the best school
in the world 1t provides every sort of technical,
scientific and skilled hand work. Add the class
room, add the bookside, and you, have the finest
possible application of that educational slogan:
Learning by doing"
But in addition to this is the inducement of ad-
vaneenient in rank and pay No school gives this
to its students in reality. Other schools can only
give the theories the rules with exemplihcation or
demonstrate The student then has to find the
job and apply what he thinks he has learned. On
ships the has the job and the school increases
his proficiency and reward then and there.
It is useless to put over against this, shore
schools. Sailors on shore leave will not go to
school That is one fact. The other fact is that
they do go to school on shipboard. They volun-
teer for school, for this is not compulsory On the
ship it is change, relaxation, break in routine
and food for ambition On shore, sailors have
something they had rather do.
Wherever offered, so per cent and who
eligible enlist for this work. The nvariable verdict
Is that it does give higher efficiency, marked in
crease in the personnel, and a finer morale The
men want it. the officers it. Is its continuance
and increase provided in the budget?

Crowding the Mourners.

- HE United States has 6S,373 Civil Service en-
i ployes on its pay rolls who are assigned
to New York State. Their salaries amount to
$87,S6s,ooo a year The State has $3.50 teach
ers at cost of $63,Soo,ooo a year. The employees
of the States cities number I22,oII with an annual
pay roll of SIz6, Is2oIo and the State its counties
and villages employ 36,32s at cost of $42,so3s85
These are decidedly surprising figures compiled
by the New York Civil Service Commission. They
show that of all the public servants in that State
the Federal government is charged with one fourth
the number at one-fourth of the total expense
1t employs more people by 10000 than do all the
public schools and than half more than the
State and all its counties and villages for their pub
lie service.
Possibly all these Federal employees are needed.
Possibly the Federal business in New York repre-
sents in volume and variety and requires the serv
ices OF, fourth many persons as care for the
business of the State, its counties, villages and
cities, including New York City, with the schools
thrown in for good measure. But if this is
government activities and leave the States something
to do for themselves on their own responsibility?
There are now before Congress bills which
would greatly add to the Federal pay rolls in all
the States as wall as build up new bureaus of great
size in Washington. They would not be like postal
revenue, customs and court employees who return a
direct service to the central government. They
would be agencies of Uncle Sam turned foster
parent. Their service would be paternastic, not
to say sociaistic.
Some place we must stop a Federal agent will
have to dress in the morning, undress US at
night and see US safely in bed They will have to
be valets ladies' maids, housemaids, cooks nurses
tutors and household pulmotors.

PEACH BUDS TENDER
ON APPROACH OF SPRING.

The scientist is now measuring
the tenderness OF peach buds with
the approach Of spring. Z. S. John
ston, Of the University OF Maryland,
has devised a method Of inserting a
needle-type ,thermocoupIe into the
bud. and by using a portable sSl-
vanometer. the freezing point Of the
sap within the bud coulf very easiIy
be etermined when the bud was sub
jected to low temperatures The re-
suit OF experiments made on EIbsrta
peach buds during the past four
months at the Experiment Station at
College Park. Nd, were reported by
Mr.. Johnston at the meeting Of the
American Meteorological Society
held at the weather bureau.
This data On the hardness Of
fruit buds will aid In definite
determination Of the relation be-
tween the loss OF fruit by sprine
freezes and the surrounding sondi-
'other data obtained indicate that
wet buds freeze at a higher tenn
perature than dry buds" declared
