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, 1926, the thirty-fifth annual report. The Massachusetts Nautical School has been maintained at its maximum capacity throughout the year. Instruction is given in the science and practice of navigation and marine engineering. The applications have numbered 193, and 80 have been appointed to fill existing vacancies as the result of competitive examinations held in Boston and Springfield. Two thousand four hundred and sixty-five sons of citizens of Massachusetts have entered the school since its organi- zation in 1893, 1,231 have completed the course and received diplomas. For the last twelve years 90% or more of the graduates have taken employment at sea in the merchant marine of the United States. On May 10, the Secretary of the Navy, Hon. Curtis D. Wilbur, made an official inspection of the Schoolship "Nantucket" at the Navy Yard, Boston. At the conclusion of the inspection he spoke briefly to the cadets.

Graduates of 1926.

During the year the school has graduated 41 sons of citizens of Massachusetts. Below will be found the names of these graduates, their home towns, and the vessel on which they are now serving. The demand of the steamship companies for the services of the graduates exceeds the supply.

Practice Cruise. During the summer the Schoolship, the U.S.S. "Nantucket," made a cruise of about 11,000 miles at sea, 1,500 miles under sail alone, visiting Provincetown, Ponta Delgada, Plymouth, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Oslo (Christiania), Bergen, Emden, London, Gibraltar, Madeira, Bermuda and Gloucester. The officers and cadets were especially received and given instructive visits to all merchant marine activities by the port authorities in Hamburg. The Commissioners deeply regret that Cadet George H. Guy of Saugus, a member of the 1st class, was lost overboard on May 17 while the ship was in latitude 40° 18' north and longitude 59° 28' west. The "Nantucket" was three days out of Provincetown on the way to the Azores. At the time there was a moderate gale with an increasing sea. Every effort was made to save him including the launching of the lifeboat which was done at considerable risk. The sad loss of the cadet at sea, the first one in the thirty-five years' history of the school, was in no way attributable to any defect in the ship's equipment or any neglect on the part of officers or crew. :

4 P.D. 42. European Nautical Schools.

During the cruise, visits were made to the following European nautical schools Thames Nautical Training College, Kent, England; Nautical Training College, Amsterdam, Holland; Oslo Nautical School, Oslo, Norway; Bergen Nautical School, Bergen, Norway; Hamburg Nautical School. Thames Nautical Training College.

This private school trains and educates officers for the British mercantile marine. It was established in 1862 and is conducted on board the "H.M.S. Worcester," 4,725 tons, a stationary training ship anchored off Greenthwaite, Kent, port of London. Boys are received between the ages of 11 and 16 and the enrollment is about 130 cadets. The ordinary course is two years, but the length varies with the the ability of the cadet and the age. The tuition is about $600 per year. The two years served on board the "Worcester" count as one year's sea service and the cadet must serve three years at sea before he is qualified for examination for a second officer's license. Amsterdam Nautical Training College.

This public school prepares for officers and captains in the mercantile marine and in the Government Navy of the Dutch East Indies. It was established in 1785 with 40 pupils. Applicants must have had three years in high school or its equivalent, and for these applicants the course is two years. Applicants who can show that they have had five-years course in high school with satisfactory marks are admitted to the one-year course. The cost to the student is $240 per year. After having successfully passed two years in the school, the students spend the last year of the course at sea as mates' pupils with one of the steamship lines. After completing a year at sea with a good record, they are granted a certificate as third mate. Third mates are eligible to a course in the school for a second or first mate's license. In 1785 the school was presented with a ship built on the grounds of the school. The Amsterdam Admiralty provided the rigging for a full rigged ship. The stu- dents on the grounds of the school each year rig and re-rig the vessel, and make any necessary repairs. Occasionally small vessels are placed at the disposal of the school, making it possible for the cadets to make short practice cruises.

Norwegian Nautical Schools.

Norway has fifteen public nautical schools located in different parts of the country and three nautical training ships which make a cruise of five months each year. About 300 cadets a year are trained on board the schoolships. One of the school- ships is a full rigged sailing vessel carrying 200 apprentices. The Oslo Nautical School with about 130 students is provided with a modern four-story brick building occupying a commanding position overlooking the harbor. In addition to many and roomy classrooms, there is a room fitted up for compass adjustment containing, besides magnetic compasses and models for adjusting them, a Sperry gyroscope and repeater and also an Anschutz gyro-compass and repeater. There is also a room containing models of ships and one fitted as an engineering laboratory with models of engines of various kinds. The Bergen Nautical School is provided with a modern up-to-date building with observatory, and the school is surrounded by attractive grounds.

Belgium Nautical School.

The Belgium Nautical School is" conducted by the Belgian Maritime Associa- tion on board the stationary training ship "Comte de Smet de Naeyer," and the cruising schoolship "L'Avenir," both being full rigged sailing ships. The latter is used as a cargo carrier and accommodates about 50 cadets. The school has an enrollment of about 100 cadets, 50 being under instruction on the stationary schoolship and 50 on the cruiser. The "L'Avenir" has recently made a cruise to Melbourne, Australia. The school receives aid from the Belgium Government and the Province of Antwerp. :

P.D. 42. o Hamburg Nautical School.

The school has a fine building with accommodations for over 300 students. The students at the school have served at least 50 months at sea, of which 36 months have been spent on sailing vessels. Upon completing the course students are examined for a chief mate's license. It is necessary to take another course in the school before one can be examined for a master's license. The school has laboratories fully equipped with working models of the most modern type for instruction in physics and mechanics. At least 50 per cent of the school work is handled in laboratories where, with their excellent equipment, everything may be demonstrated with working models or graphically. A thorough course is given in the operation of the gyro-compass, automatic steering device, and radio direction finder, in a laboratory provided for the purpose. There is a thorough course in ship construction with complete equipment for han- dling the subject. The curriculum includes instruction in radio telegraph, as deck officers on board German freight ships must act as radio operators.

Commissioner Appointed.

On July 1, 1926, Capt. William E. McKay was reappointed a Commissioner of the school for a term of three years.

Death of Former Commissioner.

Lieut. Comdr. John C. Soley, U. S. N., who served as Chairman of the Massa- chusetts Nautical School Commissioners from August 7, 1891, to July 7, 1894, and who was active in the work of establishing the school, died in New Orleans in August. He had been in charge of the Navy Hydrographic Office in New Orleans for 22 years prior to his death.
