STRATTOX.The table on next page shows the classifi­cation of the enlisted men and petty officers ofthe navy into four branches. The rating ineach branch (except messmen) varies in gradefrom third class seamen up to chief petty offi­cer. Opposite each rating is given the pay permonth, also the number of men with thatrating on the U. S. S. Texas as an illustrationof the composition of a ship's crew. Thisnumber would vary with the kind of ship andnumber of men available in the service.In time of peace the crew given as an exam­ple might fall as much as 20 per cent. belowthe number allowed as 'the full complement.Men between the ages of eighteen and thir­ty-five, of sound health and who can read andwrite, may be enlisted in the service for aperiod of three years; they have the privilegeof re-enlisting in periods of the same length aslong as they are fit for active duty, and have asufficiently good conduct record. There is aslight advance in pay above that given in thetable for each rating.The rating given at first enlistment dependson the recruit's previous occupation and educa­tion, but may not be higher than seaman in theseaman's branch, or machinist first class in thearti ficer branch.Boys between the ages of fourteen andeighteen years are enlisted as apprentices thirdclass; they must be able to read and write, andhave their parents or guardian's consent to en­list. All boys enlisted as apprentices sign anagreement to serve in the navy until twentyone years of age. They are sent to one of theU. S. training ships where they receive instruc­tion qualified to fit them for the seaman branch of the service. They are transferred to sea­going ships as they become proficient and theirservices are required. Upon completion of thecourse in the training ship they are advancedto second class, and to first class after servingone year in a cruising ship of war as a secondclass apprentice. On account of their earlytraining and long service the ex-apprenticesform the best material for petty officers in theseaman branch.The name given to the ratings indicates inmost cases the duty. The petty officers aredirectly over the men and see that the ordersof the executive officer and officer of the deckare carried out. For example, if the officer ofthe deck wished a boat lowered or any workdone by the deck force (men in the seamanbranch, not petty officers) he would give hisorders to the boatswain's mate on duty at thetime who would select the men for the workand assist in superintending them.The senior master at arms is the chief ofpol ice of the sh i p; the other masters-at-armsare his assistants. He exercises a strict sur­veillance over the conduct of the crew, hascharge of the messes, makes arrests, has chargeof prisoners, preserves order and cleanliness inall parts of the ship.The quartermasters assist in the navigationof the ship. They have charge of the wheeland look out, attend to the signaling, and arevirtually the eyes of the ship. A ship is neverwithout a quartermaster on duty who keeps asharp lookout from an advantageous positionand reports every thing of consequence to theofficer of the deck.The gunner's mates assist the gunner in theTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY208Rating and Pay per Month of Petty Officers and Men in the United States Naval Service.Chief Petty Officers.Pay. ·NoSpecial Branch.Pay. *No.Seaman Branch.

These forces are divided into twoequal parts called the starboard and portwatches. In port comparatively few men areon duty at night, hence all men are on dutyduring the day, the night duty and liberty. (days off) being distributed according todifferent plans on different ships. At sea thestarboard and port watches alternate with eachother in periods of four hours each, one ofwhich each day (four to eight p. m.) is dividedinto two periods of two hours each. If thiswere not done there would be an even numberof periods and each watch would have thesame period day after day.'For convenience of drilling, men of the sea­man branch are divided up into four divisions,each in charge of a commissioned watch anddivision officer who instructs the men daily inthe use of small arms, drill at the great guns,cutlass drill, physical exercise, or boat drill, orany of the various drills a seaman is requiredto know.Men of the artificer branch not included inthe engine room force together with those ofthe special and messmen branches constitutethe powder division which is in charge of thesenior watch and division officer.

First, that the judges enclosetheir decisions in an envelope and send themto the presiding officer, instead of retiring toconsult. Second, that the judges indicate theirdecision, by the order of precedence in placingthe names on the slip of paper, rather than byfigures. Third, that the members of the facultyconnected with the public speaking department,be declared ineligible to act as judges, if theyhave previously drilled any of the contestants.There is a trite saying, ., thereThe is honor among thieves," whichKleptomania may be extended to imply thatQuestion. the members of an organizationare loyal to each other. Thisbelief is apparently dispelled by the way inwhich students pilfer the gymnasium lockersand surreptitiously appropriate articles in thevarious University buildings. The practice isso prevalent that one is tempted to inquire intothe conditions and motives.These are found in psychological rather thanin sociological conditions. For stern necessitywould scarcely justify the purloining of sweat­ers, gymnasium shoes and stockings, minorarticles of apparel, note books, fountain pens,etc. Again, the surroundings of the averagestudent are not such as to enable him toexplain his theft on the ground of defectivetraining, insufficient education, pauperism,alcoholism, bad associations, etc. His mentalattitude, though possibly the product of a pre­ceding environment, is the pre-disposing factor.This being true, the students committing these21() THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY\tbe 'Ulnivereit\? of (tbicago 'Wleekl\?EDITORIAL BOARD."VIT.UAI\1 BUHGESS CORNELl..

This condition of affairspoints to the fact that so far as public speakingis concerned, we do not need an auditorium atthe University which will hold two thousand2.50THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLYacts must recognize in themselves some of thefollowi ng :There must exist a certain degree of moralinsensibility. This may be combined with adesire to gratify vanity, which means certainsocial requirements must be met and certainexternal appearances presen·ed. IIence thestudent's concept of himself depends upon howothers regard him. The student may possessonly that sense of honor and regard for honestywhich is necessary for display but not for use.His commandment must be: Do all things untoall men providing no one seeth you! Loyaltyto one's fellow-collegians may be expressed byswiping your quarter-back's overcoat in orderto attend the game; a fountain pen in order towrite an exultation over some victory; a lacehanrlkerchief to flutter at a debate; but loyaltyis not tested by its moments of enthusiasm.The sense of responsibility- the regard forthe rights of others-University life shoulddevelop, not subvert; and yet the lack of these,and that carelessness which intends to borrowbut forgets to return, are potent causes.These acts imply, too, the incapability ofrelating the act to its result. If relating an actto its consequence is an indication of highintelligence we must assume an inferior intelli­gence, for only the most depraved individualwould continue his acts if he realized he wasdisgracing and imputing a thieving reputationto the student body of which he is a member.A few of these thefts may have their originin the desire for running risks-the necessityfor release of superabundant energy taking thisform. But this is rather a channel for thepsychical force. Revenge upon a fellow stu­dent may also enter as a minor element. Mostmen by preference will steal fr0111 one theydislike.Student life favors these thefts in one way.Many do not commit crime solely through fearof the penalty. But the student feels a certainimmunity, for he know s that if he is caughtonly disgrace and not prosecution will follow Thus �e does within the University what hewould not do without it, failing to realize he ISlegally a criminal, though not apprehended.Most of these thefts are justified upon theground of "swi pes for souvenirs," and fromthat become indiscriminate. ..

The programs have alreadybeen circulated on the campus. These confer­ences are not mere theological discussions, norsectarian controversies, nor dogmatic assertionsof rash and contradictory doctrines, but whatthe name implies,-Conferences-in whichevery student may have the privilege of ask­ing questions upon those vital subjects whichfundamentally concern all our daily relationsto each other and our whole outlook upon life.The subjects are stated in the announcements.(Copies may be obtained at Haskell Museum,Room 16.) Who of us does not daily meetseeming contradictions between assertions fromthe Bible and the teachings of modern science?And then there are the moral difficulties.How are we to carry out the evident teachingof Jesus in the Spanish War, for instance, andin the fierce com petitions of the. modern busi­ness world? What has "Modern Ethics" to sayon these things? What is the "Point of View"'of Modern Ethics? And what can we thinkon that old troublesome question of"Miracles?" What are they anyway? Andthat want and inspiring "doctrine of Evolution."-What is it in Nature--in our own natures;­in history the development of nations and theprogress of peace and morality;- in the Bible?How are we to belive? what is the truth weneed today on these tremendous subjects?And again what is inspiration? Is it of noconsequence to our lives that we should know?We know that is not the case. Is it a livingthing in the movement of history that is sweep­ing us on ?-whither? Is it in our own thoughtsand acts? Is it in the recorded events of theBible? How?"The Literary Form of the Bible,"-of thatbook which has so powerfully influenced thecurrent of the worlds civilization,-is surely ofmoment to us all. Its orations, and poems,and songs, and polemics are surely worth ourearnest study and imitation. They have con­fessedly stirred more thought and action in human history than any other equal mass ofliterature. We do not hesitate to affirm thatthese conferences offer the greatest oppor­tunity for interesting and practical discussionand thought that has ever been presented bythe University to the students.The Settlement.One club of little girls was taken down toArt Institute to see the pictures last week.Our. neighborhood residents, Mr. and Mrs.A.

Thetraining received by the girls in these classesis one of the best features of the settlement.The Settlement's Woman's Club continues itsearnest practical efforts. It is working to se­cure kindergartens in four of the publicschools of this vicinity: to secure the closing ofdeparment stores on Ashland avenue four even­ings in a week; for vacation schools and play­grounds; for the Tenant School Bill; and foran institution that is reformatory instead ofpenal at the Bridewell for the young offendersof the law.

A. con­ference to be held in our city on Friday, Satur­day and Sunday of this week at the Woman'sClub rooms, Fine Arts Building. This confer­ence is a movement among the colleges in andabout Chicago, and the College alumni in thecity.Prominent and interesting speakers havebeen secured for the meetings and it is hopedthat every woman in the University of Chicago _,.1_will rally to the support of this conference and /-make it a power for good in the University.

Harris, Johnson and Zimmerman, willbe held at Rosalie Hall next Saturday, Marchthe fourth, beginning at two-th irty. Gold­smith, as usual, will furnish the music. Theprevious assembly informals have been a pro­nounced success. The scarcity of the everpresent and sorrowful looking "stag" has beenespecially noticable. It is to be hoped that theinformals next year will be as enjoyable and aswell attended as those of the present havebeen.Note Book.The Oratorical Contest-took place last Fri­day night. Mr. Arthur E. Bestor won the firstprize ot $50 and will represent the Universityat the Northern Oratorical League Contest atOberlin, O. The second prize of $25 was wonby Mr.Lawrence Merton Jacobs. There was nota large crowd present, but those who were therewere entertained by an unusually good pro­gram. The only unfortunate feature connectedwith the contest was that the audience was keptwaiting a half hour after the time scheduledfor the programe to commence because outof the five professors asked to act as judgesonly one appeared and he was a member ofthe faculty connected with the public speakingdepartment who had previously drilled some'of the contestants. Moreover no professorscould be found in the audience. It therefore became necessary to send a committee to lookabout the campus and to try and corral twoprofessors and persuade them to come andact as judges. The committee finally succeededin finding two professors and the contest com­menced after a half-hour delay.CALENDAR.FRIDAY, SATUI,DAY AND SUNDAY.
