The work at the Officers' Material School, temporarily interrupted by the graduation of the upper class, the promotion of the junior class, and the en- rolment and formation of the entering class, has been resumed. The organization of the school has been definitely settled. The course will consist of two terms, each of two months' duration, and instruction will be given in navigation, ordnance, seamanship, and naval regulations. There will be a junior and a senior class, the former being on their first and the latter on their last two months of study. Every two months the seniors are graduated, the juniors promoted, and a new class started. Each class consists of 180 men, there being altogether about 360 men in the school. The present junior class will graduate in February, and is known as the class of February, 1919.

To receive the diploma it is necessary to pass in both all the prescribed studies and a government examination.

There will be no formal athletics at the school but ample chance for exercise will be furnished in Dunster Hall, which is being equipped with squash and tennis courts and a swimming pool
