in the tramping trades, get their training either from Tokyo or Kobe Nautical Colleges, or from one of the Government secondary schools which have a maritime side and which are situated in various seaports dotted round the coast. There are eleven of these, and when the youngster has gone through their course he is to go to sea in one of the two naw ships, while the Nautical Colleges keep their own as before. Both sides are entered through an entrance examination In the general schools, and in each case tho training lasts for between five and a half and six years.
The first three years of this course are spent at the schools on theoretical work, at the same time improving the lad's general educa. tion on the subjects which he is most likely to use in, a nautical career. They are, in fact, compar- able to the Worcester, Conway or the Pangbourne - Nautical School:
