...duty of the faculty to make certain that students pass only through actual ability. To this end more stress should be put on work done during the term. Regular work can be insured by frequent quizzes. Examinations, too, should be such as to demand familiarity with the course and a working knowledge of its subject matter rather than painful retention of precise details. And it would be helpful if each instructor concluded with a complete resume of the ground covered.

But the demand for high grants of money does not end with the flying division of our navy. Admiral Fullam describes the submarine service as "practically negligible and woefully behind that of other major powers." Yet Admiral Fullam wants more than submarines. Very recently he came before the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs. He said, some-what abruptly, that the fleet must be united, drilled and organized for immediate action; that...
