nie’ about halfa hundred boys are pass- ed into a. soagoing shi p to serve a certllil ,_ length of time. Here they receive their first practical acquaintance with the ac- _ tual duties ol their proessiong, as do our naval cadets; but wh' n the English ca.- ilets have served, at most, a year, they are examined by the captain of the ship and her utlicers; those who pass are rated midshipmen~a grade we ` no longer have in_the United States navy.

After serving tour and a. halt years

as midshipman. the promotion to sub- lieutenant follows, It thus takes about seven years from thi time of entering the ‘Britannia’ to receive a commission, the boy being about twenty or twenty- one years of age. Our youngest eneign 'possible would be twenty-two years old, our oldest twenty-six years._ Further- more, a sub.lieutenaiicy, the grade of ensign being a lower one, and more like, in the duties to be performed, that of a midshipman. Our cadets at sea on the postigraduate course perlorm pre- cisely the duties of an English middy-

older.

During the four years and a hal! ol

sea service the midship' man is examined twice ayear on theoretical as well -as practical subjects, uaving to attend school at sea. usually under the charge of-the chaplain ot the ship. . i __

It is on this long tour, years and ai

halt of sea service that professional :training is acquired. Whether this training is adequate under the English system is diilicult to satisfy the answer, much being said tor and against it- Nevertheless the tact stands that asa sea- _man the English naval otiicer cannot be i surpassed, even though tie may not be, as a general rule. quits as well up in all branches as naval men 'in some other services.
