The training is graded for the three .years of the Annapolis course. For example, in swimming, the first year’s requirements are to be able to swim for five minutes, using, breast, aide snd back stroke; In the aecond year a speed of three minutes and thirty seconds is reguired for 120 yards, al- ao diving and raising of an object from the bottom of the tank. In the third year a speed of 4 minutes and 30 seconds is required for 100 yards, using breast, side and back, and either trudgeon or cnwl strokes for forty yards each, and also a demonstration of the proper way to rescue, carry and resusicitate a drowning man. The Navy department has provided two schools for preparing enlisted men for the Naval academy; one at Annapolis and one at San Fransisco. This gives the boys in the regular Navy the same chance to prepare for the Academy that appointees from civil life enjoy at the private prepara. tory schools, at their own expense. The course is for three months Con- gress provides one hundred appoint. merits a year for the enlisted force. This will probably be increased. due to the high type of students already passed through the Naval Acam from the enlisted men.
