The naval regime in the Virgin Is
has not been without its benefits. The
service of the hospitals has been extend
ed, the sanitary arrangements have been
bettered, and the schools have been
greatly improved. In Danish times free
education amounting to about three years
of our primary schools was considered
enough, and that was largely religious
in character. The American occupation
is offering the natives free education up
to the completion Of the high school.
One reason for the success Of the schools
is that the naval administration has put
them under civil IN direction.
AS a whole the naval administrators
of The Virgin Islands impress one as CON-
petent and Well-meaning, but their long
saturation in giving and taking orders
