Entry by Nomination In Navy. Tho writer of an artlclo In Pago's Mngazlno on Lord Selborno's new Bchcmo for tho training of British naval officers makes somo pointed remarks re-marks on tho present methods of entry en-try to tho navy. Ho states that tho proposed modo of entry by nomination nomina-tion Is n relic of admiralty pntronago, which tho board Is unwilling to relinquish; re-linquish; but, whether tho admirals llko It or not, It must soon go tho way of all such antiquated privileges. Open competition Is suro to comb within tho next fow years, Tho ro-suit ro-suit of this entry by nonilnntlon will bo to keep tho naval servlco as far ns tho olllcors nro concerned In tho fnmlly circles of tho admiralty and their friends; so thnt parents without Influence. Insldo of that charmed clrclo will have no chnuco of getting tholr boys Into tho navy, however desirable tno boys themselves may be, or how-aver how-aver ready the parents may bo to in-mr in-mr tho heavy expense of educating tholr bojs for tho servlco of their country.
