however, as essential as any other

The presence of elderly men who have been refused promotion, and who are kept on board to perform functions for which they have not been trained, would be deplor able. The suggustion that they might be employed to replace combatant, ollicers at a pinch will not stand examination. They lave outgrown junior work, and have been declared unfit for the higher. They have no place on a ship. Nobody propuses that Doctors should take a watch, except in the sick buy, or command a battery, or lead ahuding party. Where there is intrinsic difference of function, good order r: quires corresponding distinctions in the men. The result of throwing masses of accountant work on the officers of the Army has not been so good that we should wish to mee the example followed in the Naty.

The case as regards the Naval officers, the Marines, and Engineers is by no means, BO simple. They do, indeed, discharge radically different functions, but their attributes overlap, with the result that there is conflict and discontent in the Service, as well as some regrettable jarring in the execution of werk. These collisions and rivalri. s am most acute as between the Naval officers and the Engineers, A social element which we touch with reluctance, hat which cannot be iguured, enters into al complicates the case. It is fur, worse as it appears in the complaints of parti- sans than in reality, but it exists. The Engineers entered the Navy somusixty years ago as mere cagine drivers. It has only hon by derees that they have attained to the position of officers, while it is idle to affect to ignore the fact that the reception given then has not always been gracious, They have suffered from those. pin- pricks to self-esteem which, as every one who possesses an elementary know- ledgo, of human nature is well aware, often cause more pain and leave a inore mnkling memory

than a substantial injury. Indeed, they cannot be even yet said to have fully attained the position of officers. They do not possess by right disciplinary powers in he engine-

But their officers suffer from the same limitation of power when on board ship, the Engineers, and they have far less share in the work when at sen, since their men are mingled with the sailors at the uns and the discipline is mainly in the hands of the sea officers. It is a grievance with them that their ambition is limited by the Colonel Commandantskip at Walmer and Chatham, Portsmouth and Plymouth.

They all have in different ways, the fault of proposing to put the corps of officers through a Medea's cauldron, in which all distinctions would disappear, and on body wonid remain to do the Nival, The Engineering, and Marine duties.

So

Authors of these plans, all in their several degrees, overlook the fact that they would introduce new, and possibly fatal, causes of diversity into the Navy. It would be soven, if not ten, years before the officers trained on the elaborate scale which they suggest could ho coming into active sor vico. Meanwhile, vacancies must bo Gill. ed, and there would have to be two sorts of entry into the Navy. When they did! come, it would be at the bottom of the Ind. der, and a generation would pass before the amalgamation could be complete. Such a training, tou, would deprive the Naval; officers, who are to be navigators and sea- men of that early familiarity with the sea which is still obtained, though not Floroughly as it once was, by servingas,

Wo Midshipmen in commissioned ships believe that the Admiralty has no int、ition of making changes of these wholesale and inischievous proportions. It will endes.' vour to secure that similarity of social: position and unity of sentiment and chincter which ought to exist among its- officers, by requiring all of them, except the Doctors and, perhaps, the accountant- line, to go through the Britannia together. At present only the so-called 'exceu tive, that is, seamen al navigating offi.: cers, receive this schooling. They enter between fourteen and a-ball and fifteen and after eighteen months go to commissioned ship. Their education is etinued on hoard, which interferes with their practical training, and complaints are made of want of thoroughness produced by a patchwork system of instruction. According to the new model. the age of entry to the Britannia will be thirteen, and the course will be con. tinued till seventeen or eighteen. By this time it will have been possible to give a sound foundation of technical knowledge.

The identity of professional feeling which the Admiralty wishes to secune will hardly buobtained if the young officers are separate immediately after the Britannis course is finished. We may, therefore, expect with confidence, to hear that they will begin their active career together at sea as midshipmen. *Specialisation,' as it is called, will come at some later period. It is here that the main difficulty of carrying the scheme out fully will probably be found. By the nature of things, there is, and must: be, an inherent difference of functioni separating the officer who directs the course of the ship on the bridge, or the fire of the batteries, from the other who controls the In the motivo power in the engine-roon. Merchant Service nobody proposes to throw : the navigator and seaman into hotchpotch with the engineer. But there is no 'social question there, and in the Royal Navy there is. When that is removed, as we may trust it will be by the common train- ing, and similar early service of all ranks, abalance may be expected to be obtained in the Navy also. It is, again, an inevit- able consequence of the conditions in which a Navy works that the liber direction must rest with the officer whose place is m

The Marine officer, who will pass from a third to a half of his service on shore in barracks, will he even more obviously disqualified for high ! Naval command. Both must look to be compensated for whatever they may sup

To make the engine-room and the Marine Barracks the refuge of the wenry and the disappointed would not tend j to the good of the Navy. Some nice md- justment will be required to adapt the existing status of officers to the new rules, but the Navy has always been an elastic institution, and we may look to see it con- form itself once more to the necessities of the times.
