LONDON, Dec. 25. The admiralty have published details of a new scheme of naval education, under which cadete tor all branches of the service will get the same training. The earl of Selborne, first lord of the admiralty. In an explanatory article, argues that modern developments of the navy require a change In the personnel of offi cers, snd adds:. In the old daya It sufficed If a naval offi cer was a seaman; now he must be a sea man, a soldier, an engineer and a man or science as well. Today more knowledge and study la needed than In the past and tne nignest type or naval omcer is tnat in which great Drofeaslonal knowledge is added to force of character. The danger within the navy Itself Is less Insufficient importance should be attached to the re sults of study and lest the value of what Is called practical character should be placed higher than It deserves. The scheme will become operative next July. For the first seven years all cadets 111 receive Identical training In every branch of the service, special attention being given to scientific study, but there after from the age of 20, the cadets will be drafted Into the different branches and will begin to specialize. The scheme enables speedier promotion, provides for revised rates of pay, the dis appearance of engineers' disabilities and promotion to the rank of commander by selection. While the newspapers this morning gen erally commend the scheme as a courageous attempt In the direction of a necessary reform, It Is expected that It will meet with considerable opposition. Its principal de fect, as pointed out In editorial articles, is that engineers and marine officers will still be debarred from attaining flag rank, and that all cadets, therefore, will want to enter for the executive branch. The Standard says: We do not blame the admiralty for hesi tating to follow the United States, In whose navy executive and engineer offi cers have been combined, with dubious re sults, but the admiralty haa gone so far that it certainly will be compelled to go further.
