REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS.

To the Commissioner of Education. The Commissioners of the Massachusetts Nautical School have the honor to submit their report for the year ending November 30, 1925, the thirty-fourth annual report. The Massachusetts Nautical School, created under an act of the General Court of 1891, is now in its thirty-fifth year of active service. Two thousand three hundred and eighty-five sons of citizens of Massachusetts have entered the school, 1,190 have completed the course and received diplomas, and of these about 95 per cent have served at sea in the merchant marine of the United States or are em- ployed in connection with shipping. The ship upon which the school is conducted is loaned by the United States Navy, and maintained in repair by the Navy. The Federal Government con- tributes annually under an act of Congress, the sum of $25,000 towards the main- tenance of the school. The Commonwealth appropriates the balance of the cost of maintenance, about $65,000 each year. The present ship, formerly the U.S.S. "Ranger," now the U.S.S. "Nantucket," has been in our service since 1909. The vessel, while in excellent sea-worthy con- dition and having this summer made a cruise of 12,600 miles, is admirably adapted to the purposes of the school, and would be good for another thirty years' service, if supplied with new boilers and motive machinery. The present equipment is obsolete and uneconomical, not the best adapted for instruction. The boilers must necessarily be renewed shortly. The Commissioners last year brought this matter to your attention and to that of His Excellency the Governor, asking that the Navy Department be requested to provide a new installation of boilers and engines. The Navy Department ex- pressed the opinion that the vessel ^ as worthy of this improvement and directed the estimates of cost to be prepared at the Boston Navy Yard. The cost being beyond the limit set by law for repairs under general appropriations for that pur- pose, special authority of Congress is necessary, therefore, the subject was brought to the attention of Congress through the cooperation of Hon. William M. Butler, Senator from Massachusetts, and who will again hi the current session of Congress ask for the authority of the law and an appropriation of about the sum of $250,000 for the purpose. As the Navy Department has no other ship suitable for the use of the school which could be loaned to the Commonwealth, it is of the first im- portance in the maintenance of the school and its efficiency that this matter should have the cooperation of His Excellency the Governor and the members of the General Court. Graduates of 1925.

During the past year, the school has graduated 48 sons of the citizens of Massa- chusetts, all of whom obtained from the United States Steamboat Inspection Service, licenses as either third officers or third assistant engineers, qualifying them P.D. 42. 3 for service on United States vessels. Below will be found the names of these graduates, their home town, and the vessels upon which they are now serving:

Richard G. Aaron 4 P.D. 42.

Mr. Wood believed that his success in life as a merchant was due in large measure to the training and discipline he received under Captain Whitman. This prize which will become available in 1927 is highly appreciated by the Commissioners of the Nautical School and worthy of the emulation and interest of coming classes. Mr. Wood was born in Canterbury, Connecticut, September 10, 1844, and died in Boston on June 21, 1925. The General Electric Company gives the honor graduate in engineering special employment, with the opportunity for practical and theoretical instruction in marine and electrical apparatus prior to service at sea. Admissions. Admissions to the Nautical School are made as the result of competitive examina- tions held in Boston and Springfield after due advertisement, and the number of applicants is from two to three times the number of vacancies available. Those who are appointed make a deposit of $130 the first year and $25 the second year, a total of $155 which covers the cost of uniforms and books, and such other items of clothing as they may wish to purchase from the ship's stores. Otherwise in- struction and subsistence on the ship is free and at the expense of the Common- wealth. It has been frequently suggested to the Commissioners that the appointees should pay in addition a portion of the cost of their subsistence, say $50 annually. Such an additional fee, if imposed, would raise a sum of $3,500 annually, and constitute about 14 per cent of the total annual cost of subsistence of $25,3S0. It has been stated that this is customary at other similar institutions of the Com- monwealth, and it has been suggested that the establishment of such fees might be accompanied with the authority to disburse perhaps 20 per cent of the amount so raised in the distribution of scholarships and prizes to deserving cadets. The Commissioners have given this subject careful consideration and have de- cided that the proposed fees are inadvisable and unwarranted in the Nautical School. We believe that the additional fees would deter a considerable proportion of our present applicants from attempting to secure the advantages of the school. We believe they are unwarranted in the Nautical School because of the unusual con- dition in a public institution of this kind that the cadets themselves do a very large proportion of the actual work of maintenance and operation. They serve as mess cooks and strikers in the serving of meals, the handling of mess stores, the cleanliness of the mess deck, the washing of dishes. They serve as officers of the deck, as orderlies and sentries while the ship is in port, taking the place of additional officers and watchmen. During the winter, they overhaul all the ship's running gear, and prepare it for the cruise. During the cruise they actually perform the daily duties of the subordinate officers and crew for the operation of the ship either in port or under sail or steam, and perform all the duties of firemen and oilers. The em- ployed crew of the ship is thus reduced to a minimum, and consists of 4 seamen, employed the year round, and 3 firemen, employed only when in port during the winter term. The value of the service which they perform is estimated at approxi- mately $18,000 annually. The Commissioners feel that the facts stated above are little appreciated, and believe that the services which our cadets supply in the operation of the school are a very desirable and necessary part of their actual instruction, and contribute largely to the well known efficiency of our graduates in actual service afloat. The 1925 Cruise. The "Nantucket" departed from Boston on May 7 and after calling at Province- town, proceeded to Ponta Delgada in the Azores, thence to Madeira for coal and St. Vincent, Cape Verde Islands, thence on its long leg principally under sail alone to Rio Janeiro. After an interesting visit in Rio, the ship proceeded to Bahia, and thence to Port of Spain, Trinidad; Bridgetown, Barbadoes; Fort de France, Martinique; Fredericksted, St. Croix; Hamilton, Bermuda; Nantucket and Prov- incetown, arriving at Boston on September 20, making a total of 12,600 miles. Commissioner Appointed.

On July 1, 1925, Mr. Clarence E. Perkins, of Winthrop, was reappointed a Com- missioner of the school for a term of three years. P.D. 42. Resignation of Navigator. Mr. John W. Thompson, a graduate of the Nautical School in the class of 1912, resigned as Navigator and Instructor in Navigation, on April 30, 1925, after eight years service with the school.
