In his letter to McDermott Shappert
stressed the fact that the three naval
trade schools at the Great Lakes. the
radio, aviation and hospital schools
consist of about 5000 boys and that
the constant changing OF positions is
destructive to morale, and also drains
the expenses of the government need
lessly. He further asserts that the
record of the late. war, on the naval
side. shows that the boys from the
Mississippi valley made better ma
terial for sea-faring men than the
boys from the coast town.
Several officers at the station point
with pride to the fact that the boys
graduated from the Great Lakes sta
ton are entirely free from radicalisb
or tendencies in that direction" Shap-
pert wrote, land to further strengthen

concentrating the trade schools to the
Great Lakes station. I will appre-
