## HOSPITAL CORPS TRAINING SCHOOL

The Hospital Corps Training School fits men to be able assistants to the Doctors of the Navy. The science of pharmacy, first aid, nursing and laboratory technique is made the specialty of the course. In well equipped laboratories the student works out the theories that are explained to him in lectures. For men interested in pharmacy, or desiring experience preparatory to a study of medicine, this course is invaluable. The entire course consists of four semesters of one month each and, by consistent hard work, a man may make the rate of First Class Pharmacist's Mate. After the prescribed period of sea duty he may return to the school and take the examination for Chief Pharmacist's Mate.

## ELECTRICAL SCHOOL

The electrical apparatus aboard our modern ships embrace nearly every device for which electricity is used. The Navy electrician must be able to understand the construction, operation and repair of everything from searchlight to spud peeler. To meet the demand for these experts, the Electrical School of Hampton Roads offers a course covering thirty-two weeks. By means of lectures and practical laboratory work, the student becomes familiar with the workings of the different appliances that he will later be responsible for.

The U. S. S. Electrician, an exact replica of a United States Man-of-War, is used to give the students a practical working knowledge of Naval electrical equipment. She is a land ship, riding at permanent anchor in front of the Administration Building. Here the embryo electrical expert may become familiar with all the equipment of a modern battleship under sea-going conditions, minus the pitch and roll of the briny billows.

## MESS ATTENDANTS SCHOOL

The mess, quarters and belongings of officers are attended by men of Negro birth or Filipinos.

They are carefully trained for the work they have to do by a course of lectures and practice that covers two months work. This includes the art of serving at table, care of clothing and the like. After the student has finished this course, he is not only fitted to be a valuable man in the Navy, but should he return to civil life will have a profitable profession that he may follow.
