DANIELS RUNS A
NAVYSCHOOLBELL
.
Enlisted Moo Not Well Ground
ed Most Attend Classes.
TO EXAMINE ALL SAILORS.
Points Out That Such Work Would In
crease Efficiency of Jackies—Junior
Officers From Naval Academy Will
Act ae Instructors—'Will Aid Men at
Expiration of Service.
Washington.—Secretary of the Navy
Daniels has Issued an order making
it compulsory for all enlisted men of
the navy who are not well grounded
in the common school brunches and
have not yet completed two years’
service lu the navy to attend the serv
ice schools, which will be held aboard
ship and at training stations and
yards. Junior officers only recently
out of tbe Naval academy will act us
Instructors. Instruction In reading,
writing, arithmetic, spelling, geogra
phy and history will be continued un
til each man has attained "a satisfac
tory standard.
Academic Instruction will be limited
to three-fourths of an hour each day
and the remainder of the study period
will be devoted to technical and naval
subjects. Men who do not need the
academic course will devote the whole
period to other branches.
The routine aboard ship will be ar
ranged so thut tbe following general
principle as regards the employment'
of the men may be followed as far as
possible: All bands to, 9:15; cleaning
und shlpwork; 9:15 to 11:45, drills and
routine duties; 11:45 to 1:15, dinner
and recreation; 1:15 to 2:30, Instruction
and school daily except Saturdays,
Sundays and holidays; 2:30 to 4:30,
drill, work and recreation.
The instruction will be under the
general direction of the commanding
officer. The executive officer will have
Immediate charge, assisted by all com
missioned officers and by such warrant
and petty officers as may be necessary
in the different apartments aboard
ship.
Division officers are directed to ex
amine nil men under their supervision,
noting the deficiencies of each man,
the amount of instruction he may have
received at the training station, the
branches In which further instruction
is most needed, the fitness of each
man for promotion, the branch for
which lie Is best suited and tbe per
' sonal preferences and ambitions ot
! ench lu order that classes may be
formed to secure progress nnd im
provement In the mental and technical
training of men in every branch of the
navy service.
Whenever the weather or the circum
stances of service of any particular
ship or ships are such that additional
times during the day may be given tc
instruction, commanding officers are
urged to Increase tbe periods of in
struction and to encourage night class
es when practicable.
Secretary Daniels points out that tbe
Idea which prevails in some quarters
that this instruction will Interfere with
strictly man-of-war work appears to
be groundless, Inasmuch as more than
three-fourths of the order is devoted
to the consideration of strictly techni
cal and naval Instruction along lines
that will tend directly to the Increased
efficiency of a man-of-war.
The Nava) academy is to be tbe cen
ter for the preparation of handbooks
to be used by beginners. Provision is
made for the gradual supply of the
necessary, books needed In both tbe
academic and professional branches of
Instruction. It Is required that a com
plete record of each man's progress
shall be permanently attached to bis
enlistment record and that be shall re
ceive a certificate of proficiency at the
completion of his term of service In
the navy.
Secretary Dauiels, by instituting this
! educational system, makes It possible
for every young man In the navy—and
of tbe whole enlisted personnel more
than 30 per cent are young—to obtain
commissions in tbe service or a pro
fessional training which will enable
him to enter on even terms with civil
ians In professional ljfe outside the
navy.
. The whole scheme follows tbe Idea
of Secretary. Daniels that the navy
should be a great school as well as a
working Institution.
