A battleship is per haps the most perfect laboratory In the world. All its machinery must be the best of Its kind and to maintain the high standard the United State* navy has set, It is necessary that the personnel be highly trained. Education proved to be a deciding factor and to further their policy, the Navy depart ment has provided enlisted men with a correspondence course system that is perhaps the most completely organized project of its kind In use. It Is com prised of 126 courses, prepared by the leading universities of America.
