WITH THE FLEET.
LIFE ABOARD H.M.S. "EMPEROR OF INDIA."
It is a man's job. There is hard work and plenty of it, but the boys are looked after well-mentally, physically, and spiritually. They have a good career in front of them, and facilities for reaching comparatively high ranks in the
service."
An officer of the battkship Emperor of India, thus summarized the effects of the present system of training boys in the Royal Navy Six months ago the Emperor of "India and her sistars-the Iron Duke (now fingship of Rear-Adml. R. "R. C. Backhouse). Benbow, and Marlborough-were detached from the Mediterranean Fleet to form the Training Squadron as an addi- tional squadron in the Atlantic ⚫Fleet.

of a fighting ship.
Proportion Of Boys. This is remarkable. Each ship's complement 细 1,100 in raund
figures, and of this number 400 are

eleaned and looked after-and the Emperor of India is as smart and clean as any warship afoat--by a crew argely formed of boys who are learning their job.

It will be readily appreciated that the lads do not get much time for the development of their or
"school, dinary education, apart from
their professional education. Four hours weekly are devoted to school, but the know- ledge imparted is arranged in such
a manner that the boys and silting at a desk and listening to a school master is welcome change from ship duties
Good General Education.
The "school" is regarded more in the nature of a pastime than the drudgery with which most shore boys would consider school at the age of 17.
Therefore they as similate readily, and are capable of answering questions of general, political, geographical, and his torical knowledge that would as- tonish
