At one place, where the climate is mild, the boys sleep in barracks in bungalows with upper sides of canvas, which are rolled down to let in sun and air in fine weather and laced up against bad weather. At all training-stations there are mess-halls, reading-rooms, libraries; also gymnasiums, athletic fields, and ball parks.
Young officers, no doubt, will receive commands, and in general a thriving mercantile marine will be in readiness for operation when war ends. Our naval training-stations are models of businesslike precision and well-ordered proficiency. Herein are taught everything from bread-baking and cooking to engineering, gunnery, and other maritime accomplishments.
And with this constant outflow of trained men from the various naval training-stations of the country, the influx of newly enlisted reserves into these schools gives assurance that the Navy Department will never be embarrassed for lack of material wherewith to man its boats.
If a man has no trade the navy will teach him one. There are navy schools for electricians, shipwrights, ship-fitters, carpenters, painters, coppersmiths, ship's cooks, bakers, stewards, and musicians. When a young fellow enlists he is sent to one of several naval training-stations. Here they are quartered in barracks well-aired, well-lighted, well-heated buildings.
