POST GRADUATE COURSES SUGGESTED Importance of Time to Study. Devoting More REQUIREMENTSOFADMIS SS ee SION The repert of the board of visitors to the aval Academy was made public the Department today. The board, con- sisting of Representativ S. G. Hilbern, Irving P. Wanger, Charles E. Munroe, Ch < jer, A. dC. Hin ne Lamps H. E. . John M. Boyer, me Naval Academy May 30, and organized, ting Representative Hilborn, president; Mr. Charles E. Munroe of Washington, D. C., vice president, and Lieut. C. M. Stone, U. S.N., secretar: Recommendations of the Board. The board makes the following recom- mendations: (1) That the appointment of candidates be made by July 1 of the year preceding their examination for admission in order to permit them to be more fully prepared. (2) That those cadets who pass into the line and engineer corps be required, on the completion of their first three years’ cruise, to return to the academy and pursue a two years’ course of advanced studies in either ordnance, marine engineering, or electrical engineering. (3) That the department of seamanship be provided with a set of models of mod- ern men-of-war, one of each type. (4) That the department of steam engi- neering be supplied with modern tools and j machinery. G) That the board approves of the gen- eral plan for the rebuilding of the academic buildings, and believes that if it be faith-j fully carried out the result will be befitting the dignity of this great nation. (6) That a continuing annnal appropria- tion be made for rebinding, in half or full morocco, valuable books in the library. @) That the efficiency of the board of visitors will be increased by the appoint- ment of a portion of the board for two or more terms, so that at least a portion of the board may be familiar with the du- ties which the board is expected to per- form. Standard of Admission. The committee cn the conditions al- missions to the academy strongly advocate such a standard of scholarship as a test of admission n be acquired at the publi schools, instead of raising it to a point at- tainable only to those boys who have th= of a college course. On this tm- portant subject the report say “The committee finds that : of applicants for admis the beaefit of instruction in = chools, the branches on which are such only as are taught in the common schools, and the Naval Acad- emy course begins where the common school course usually ends. “Academie brar.ches and drills occupy the cadets for three years, and the strictly pre fessional work is taken up for the m part in the fourth yecr. Here the instruc- tien given by the academy ceases, although the cadet returms after two years at seu and is examined upon the studies pursued and work done by him while afloat. “In view of the rap!d changes ard de- velopment of modern naval construction rfare, ard the rapidly increasing artments of knowledge in which a com- petent naval officer mrst now he an adept, in view also of the number of years taken y our technological schocls in educating as ci advanta ile a large they are ar work and with whom they be compare 1, it is evident that an incre: aniount of time should now be prov for the instruction of our naval offi it how shall this be doe? The stand. for admission might be raised, but ur pec ple seeia to have determined that ever Loy should nave a chance to enter the Mii- itary and Naval Academies, and only the common seaools are within the reach of a large majority of our sons. “Still more, the best seamen have ai taken to the water ycung, and the dril land vigorous discipline which are needed | to put the cadets into shape are most ef- fective in the years of age between fifteen and twenty. Indeed, it is doubtful whether such discipline should ever be carried much beyond the age of twenty, and the navy should have control of its boys before the average age of high schcol graduate: “Again, we might lengthen the present ccurse from four to six years, abolishing the two years as a cadet at sea, which every one now concedes has outlived its fulness. But instruction at the academy goes fast, and rightly. The commander must learn to see at a glance, to read as he runs. The leisurely, digestive, critic- producing methods of the university are out of place here. Unity and solidarit: not individuality are the needs of the sit- uation. Four years of this rushing, ac- companied throughout by the vigorous and necessary discipline, are all that the service seems to require or that the young officer will cheerfully undergo. Obligatory Post-Graduate Course. “It remains only to add a post-graduate course obligatory on all officers, and this being made freely elective and allied more ctosely to university methods, might well come at the end of the first cruise of thrce years, when, after some experience of the service and with more maturity, the young otticer could select those branches in which he felt himself to be deficient or for whieh he had disecvered a natural bent. “Time for this additional work might be obtained by relieving the department of the necessity of detailing young officers to many positions which are chiefly clerical. “A post-graduate course in naval con- struction has been recently instituted and is now in successful operation at the acad- emy, and courses in marine enginecring, in ordnance and gunnery, and in electrical en- gineering, might now be readily added. “Our first ‘and chief recommendation, therefore, is that in some way, and pref- erably by a post-graduate course, more time should be allowed for the instruction of young naval officers. “in general, your committee approves of the use made of the time now allotted for instruction, and finds all departments weil conducted ‘and, upon the whole, fairly equipped. We recommend, however, that the cadet practice cruiser Bancroft be re- turned to the academy as soon as it can be spared, and especially tnat the academy be furnished with a model of each of the types of warships. And we suggest that the time has perhaps arrived when Spanish should be introduced as a compulsory study for all cadets. “We recommend that the maximum age of admission he reduced, and that all cadets should be nominated by July 1 and admit- ted in May following, recommendations which have been made in substance by sev- eral preceding boards.” The committee cn grounds and buildings reports that the grounds are in excellent condition, but calls attention to the anti- quated character of many of the buildings. Discipline and Drill. The report of the committee on discipline and drill says: “We are well pleased with the discipline and administration in so fa: as we have been able to observe. The discipline is ex- ceedingly severe, but, in the opinion of your committee, none too severe for an institu- igned to produce officers competent to commind a modern battle ship. To this rigid discipline we are largely indebted for the develorment of those superb qualities which distinguish the American sailor, and which enabled him to astonish the world by his opcrations in Manila bay. The tine bearing and physique of the cadets furnish ample proof of the excellent results obtain- ed in the department of physical culture. The gymnasium is in fine condition, and appears to be equipped with all the neces- sary appliances.” ——_——_+-0+__. CUBAN WAIF. Jose Eulofio Placed in Charge of Board of Guardians. The board of children’s guardians got its first Cuban charge, a boy aged nine years, this morning and the superintendent of charities, Herbert W. Lewis, Agent Park- man and Chief Clerk Douglas are taking more than usual interest in the little un- fortunate. The child, whose name is Jose Eulofio, was found wandering about the B. and O. station and was taken In charge by Acting Lieutenant Lombardy of the sixth precinet. He can speak no English, but fortunately the sergeant was able to interpret what he said. The boy told Lieut. Lombardy that his parents had been starved to death near Santiago (of which province he was a native) before the arrival of the Americans.

Tumelty, a well-known bus!- hess man of this city, died of heart failure yesterday morning at 5:30 o'clock at his residence, 1021 22d street. The deceased Fad been fll for ¢ 1 weeks. He was seventy-two years of age, and a native of Ireland. He cume to this country when quite young, and for nearly half a century had been in business. For some years past he conducted a wood and ccal yard in the first ward, fronting on Pennsylvania ave- nue, near Rotk creek. He enjoyed a large cirele of acquairtaaces, and had the confi- dence and esteem of all. He was a member of St. Stephen's Church, and. belonged to the conference of the Society of St. Vin- cent de Paul, attached to the church, as a member of which he succeeded in doing much good to the poor and needy.

THOUSANDS' CHEERED 2 sre “That's the first drop of stre-enough cof- fee I've tasted since I enlisted,” said a tall, broad Pennsylvania volunteer as he smack- ed his lips approvingly over the edge of a capacious mug down in old Potomac Hall at 11th street and Marland avenue south- west one day last week, A chorus of approval greeted this an- nouncement, and it came from scores of other Pennsylvania volunteers. Their long train bearing 600 of them had come lum- bering over the Long bridge and had pulled up at 11th street and Maryland avenue to give the tired and hungry heroes a chance to partake of the hearty hospitality of the Ladies of the Pension Office Relief Associa- tion, and the appreciation expressed by the big man was only an echo of what thou- sands of soldiers who had been entertained before had said with equal emphasis. Ail over the country the memories of volun- teers will ever retain the most pleasant rec- ollections of their treatment in the same way, because since the war closed every trainload of soldiers, whether regulars or volunteers have had their hearts and stom- achs gladdened by the generous ministra- tions of the pension office ladies. Some Startling Statistics. Some idea of the enormous amount of good work done at the headquarters, in Po- tomac Hall, may be gained when it realiz= that in a single day of twenty-four hours, 3,300 soldiers were fed, and all had plent Upon one occasion 1,100 were fed in two hours, and during the steady return of troops from the south, which continued until two or three days ago, the average number cared for each day was about 900. A Star reporter initiated into the ysterles of the admirable establishment ay by Mrs. S. A. Cornwall, the active changel of the ministering band, on duty at the hall. The entrance is on the Mary- land avenue side of the building, and a flight of stairs leads to a commodious hall on the second floor, containing tables in readiness to accommodate 100 soldiers at a time. Everything is clean and neat, and sweet. On the floor above is another hall similarly equipped, capable of accommodat- ing 100 more soldiers. The ladics in charge are kept posted as to the time soldier-bearing trains will arrive and they are promptly met. If the men are allowed to leave the cars, as they usu- ally are, they are taken to the hall, if not they are provided with plentiful supplies of coffee, sandwiches, milk and fruit on the cars. The sick and the weak are given soups, broths and and other foods gratify- ing to invalids. Coffee Deserving the Name. Mrs. Cornwall is the coffee maker. Per- scns who have visited the French market in New Orleans always remember the su- preme strength and flavor of the coffee sold there. Mrs. Cornwall's coffee is as much like it as if it was poured out of the same pot, because a Star reporter, who knows the New Orleans coffee, drank a mug of Mrs. Cornwall's today, dipped out cf a boiler where it was in readiness for any soldiers who might come. Fifty to sixty gallons of this coffee are aiways on hand to cheer incoming soldiers from the south, and when a train is ex- pected there are from 7,000 to 10,000 sand- wiches in readiness, needing twenty big hams to make them. The ladies of the pension office have been loyally assisted by the ladies of South Washington and other sections in this admirable work. The attention to the hospital trains is, of course, characterized by the sam? care and earnestness. These trains, usually arrive in the wee small hours, but’all are met by Miss Carrie A. Dent of’the hosp tal corps. She is tireless in her good work. and has been autkorized by Major,J. V7. Bayne, surgeon, U. 8.

At a special meeting of the Capital Cam- era Club, held at the club rooms, 1010 F strect, last evening, resolutions of sympa- thy and condolence were passed on the death of the late Thomas C. S. Maddux, private,in the District volunteer regiment, who died of typhoid feyer at Montauk Point on the 7th instant. Private Maddux was but seventeen years of age and the young- est member of the club. Feeling addresses were made by Chairman Wallace C. Bab- cock and by Messrs. Fairman and Le Breton. — ++ A Local Patent. A gatent has been ‘sued to John M. Fischer of Washington, D.
