ANNAPOLIS. Md, June 25.--Ail
records will be exceeded In theafor-
nation of the new class at the Naval
Academy. and II is expected that II
will reach the number or about 500
within ten days. II is possible to OBJ
tain these results because OF a change
In the method OF physical examina-
tion. greatly expediting the work OF
the examining board. and also be-
cause a better system of Issuing out
fits TO the new midshipmen has been
devised.
Candidates for the Naval Academy
are now permitted TO take their
physical examinations for admission
before the medical officer at any
naval recruiting station In the coun-
try While the examining board at
the Naval Academy also makes. ex-
animation, IL is much smaller. In scope
than that previously given and a far
larger number can be examined In
fact, from 75 to 100 youths are being
examined daily. while not more than
a third OF that number could be ex-
amined under the old method. 3p
The new system also proves a
great boon to the candidates for the
Acade demy. Many youths who pass the
mental tests make the trip to AN
napolis, In some cases from the ex-
treme western part OF the United
States. TO hnd that they are not fitted
physically, for the service. This viii
be obviated in almost every case,
though there. have been a few in
stancesswhere the local board declined
to approve youths who had been
passed by the ;medical officer at the
recruiting station. This will be very
rare. however. '.tsf A.s. - ra5E t
NO EXTRA EXAMINATION.
II was stated at the. Academy that
there is no likelihood of an extra
examination. as the new class
promises to be as large as desired
1t ~ill number at least 500. and win
bring the entire student body up to
nearly $500. This Is slightly above
the normal accommodations of Ban
croft Hall, and that great building
will be taxed TO the sutnfost. The
class will be practically completed by
the first week in July though. few,
whose cases are special. will be adj
In view of,its early completion, the
new class should be further advanced
by the beginning of the new academic
year, October 1. than any which has
preceded IL. II has. been the rule to
receive the new midshipmen in groups
during the whole summer, the last not
entering the Academy until Septem-
ber.. This held back much of the trHin-
