ACADEMIC NAVAL ACADEMY
CADET no longer—long live the
the officer!
When the cheers died away
Friday, June 6, Annapolis had
passed through one of the
most brilliant weeks since the Hon.
George Bancroft, secretary" of the
navy under James K. Polk, founded
the Naval Academy In 1845.
Friday terminated the cadet week
of work and play. When the cadets
were lined up, glistening like dia
monds in the afternoon sun in their
dress. uniforms, to receive their di
plomas and lißten to the address of
the Hon. Josephus Daniels, secretary
ot the navy, It was the last dress
parade on the old grounds for many,
for on the morrow the uniform of the
commissioned officers replaced the
garb of the cadet. The day marked
an epoch In the Uvea of these boys
who have spent four long years of
study, a day the pleasant memories
of which will come back to them In
the cold dim watch of the midnight
hour.
This year was the second In the an
nals of the academy that the cadets
graduated as commissioned officers.
Official Reception.
At 10 o'clock the board of visitors
arrived and the entire morning was
devoted to an official reception. At
4 o'clock In the afternoon the board
of visitors gathered at the superin
tendent's quarters, where another re
ception was tendered them. Then the
cadets were drawn up, resplendent in
their dress uniforms, to go through
the evolutions of dress parade. After
the parade the awards were made.
The professional prises, open to any
member of the graduating class, last
year went to Midshipman Howard E.
Saunders. They are: Class of 1871
sword for practical and theoretical
gunnery, cup offered by National So
ciety Sons of Revolution for excel
lence In practical gunnery, cup offered
by Col. Robert M. Thompson of New
York and graduate of class of 1888 for
practical navigation.
On Monday night the Mastiueraders,
an organization made up of midship
man, presented their annual play.
On Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock
there wjis a street riot and skirmish
drill by the first battalion. At 10:45
an artillery drill by the second bat
talion At 2:30 the board of visitors
Inspected the buildings and grounds.
At t> o'clock dress parade. At 8 o'lock
the superintendent gave a dinner to
the board of visitors, and another per
formance by the Masqueraders was
held at 8 o'clock.
Wednesday morning at 9:15 the ca
dets took part In a competitive artil
lery drill, and In the afternoon at 2:30
In another competitive drill In sea
manship At 6 o'clock the cadets
formed for dress parade. At night
the cadets gathered their mothers,
sisters, sweethearts and friends at a
garden party given to the members
of the graduating class by ths super
intendent.
On Thursday a competitive infantry
drill was held In the morning at 9:15,
torpedo and gun drills and exercises
In practical engineering at 2:30 and
4:30 in the afternoon. After ths dress
parade at 6 o'clock the presentation
of colors for gensral excellence took
place. The right to carry those colors
1l an honor which Is keenly fought for
by the cadets. The annual alumni
dinner was held at 8:30 on Thursday
night and from 9 to 1 the member?
of the first class again gathered their
friends at thetr german
On Friday graduation exercises took
place, and Josephus Daniels, secretary
of the navy, addressed the cadets.
The farewell ball started St 9:30 and
at 12:30 the farewells were said.
Society Stars There.
The social gayety of the week is
one ot its biggest features. For
months the bellee of all the big oltles
in the east and many In the west live
in anticipation of the Joys awaiting
them during "June week" at the fa
mous training school. Her* fair fem
ininity holds court foe Ave days. Along
the promenades of the romantic
grounds and In the ballroom she Is In
absolute command. The poor "clt"
who acts as her escort while the mid
shipman Is at drills or attending his
many other duties fades into the back
ground when "the boy of the sea"
sails into view and relieves him of his
precious charge
On Saturday the cadets embark for
the yearly cruise for practice, while
the graduate dons his "clt's" suit and
leaves for a short visit to his home
before he goes to jea under orders
to begin his real life work for Uncle
Sam.
TOO BUSY FOR LONG TITLES
Germans Sensibly Abbreviate Names
Which They Reslixs Cause Much
Wasts of Time.
Long-winded German names are
something of a trial to the world Ht
Inrge, but the Germans themselves ap
pear to have found the remedy, says
the Scientific American. In 1909 an
International aeronautical exposition
was organised at Krankfort-on-the-
Maln. Its full name In German was
"Internationale LuftschlffahrtrAusstel
lung." After being abbroblated to "I.
L. A.," this ultimately became "11a;"
and as the "lis" the exposition has
since been universally known. In tike
manner the "Allgemelna Luftfahrtxeug-
Ausstellung" held last year In Berlin
was known a« the "Ala;" and now we
hear of the "Damnu," which, to the
busy man, Is a happy substitute for
"Deutsche Auaachusa fur den mathe
niatlachen und naturwlßsinsehaft
llchen Untorrlcht" "Imuk," which ■if
nlfles Internationale mathematlsche
Unterrlchta-Kommlsston and "Datsch,"
a condensation of Deutsche Auaachuaa
fur technlache Schulen.
Of course, this method of syncopa
tion has Ha limlta! since many combi
nations of Initials are unpronouncable,
while others might be* too grotesque
to be palatable. On the other hand, It
aeema likely that In future the nameß
of many expositions, aocletles and the
like will be deliberately selected with
reference to such abbreviation.
Mental Originality
Anatole Franc«khae coined a phrase
which may have of life In It.
"What Is madneaa, after all," he aaya,
"but a Bort of mental originality." He
wrlteß that Charlea Dickens always
liked madmen, and cities among the
umdmen good Mr. Dick. In "David Cop
perfield," whose Innocence is described
with such tender grace. "1 believe,"
writes the great Frenchman of letters,
"that Dickens had more feeling than
any other writer. 1 believe that his
novels are ae beautiful as the love and
pity that Inspired them. I regard
'David Copperfield' as a new gospel. I
believe, lastly, that Mr. Dick ts a 'sen-
Bible' madman, because the only rea
son left to him Is the reasoning of the
heart, and that Is hardly ever re
ceived. What matter If he does fly
kites on which he has written some
reflections concerning the death of
King Charles I.? He Is benevolent,
he wiebes 111 to no one; and that Is a
piece of wisdom to which many sane
men do not so easily attain as he."
Quinine Msds Hsr Deaf.
In an earlier day It waa by no
means an unusual thing during the
fever and ague season In Indiana to
meet persons who apologised for tem
porary deafnesa by saying that they
had been taking quinine. The New
York Medical ournal reports a caae
where a girl alxteen years old In the
course of IS minutes took 30 graina of

of Intenae headache and severe ringing

GOLDEN TEXT—"Blessed are the pure
In heart for they shall ses God." Matt
tX
Last week we learned that Moses
bad a vision of a great need; In to
day's lesson there la revealed to
Moses the other half of the lesson,
vis.. One who coold meet tAt need;
One who could supply all that was
lacking when Moses made bis first
111-advlsed attempt to free his kins
men. ;
Bush and Voiee.
I. The Manner of MOMS' Call.
Hit call came In the midst of his
labor as a shepherd. God does not
set a premium upon idleness and his
greatest revelation came through two
very common agencies, a bush and a
▼olce. There were probably many
other such bushes on the back side
of the desert, but this one is distin
guished by the presence of Jehovah.
Moses turned aside to see this "great
sight." Why was it not consumed?
Because it was divinely lighted. Hav
ing secured his attention Jehovah
spoke to Moses, called to him out of
the midst of the bush. When men
pause in the faithful discharge of
the common tasks of life and consid
er Qod It will not be long before they
will hear his still, small voice. God's
call la never to the idler and Is gen
erally through the common agencies
and experiences of life. The time Is
ripe for deliverance. God had tested
Moses for forty years. Now God is
ready to reveal himself here upon
Horeb, the mountain of Godj Je
hovah's presence Is symbolised by the
Are (see chapter 13:21, 22 and 19:18).
The lowly bush suggests the Incarna
tion. In Jesus humanity was on Are
with the presence of God. fet was not
consumed.
11. Th# Purpose of Moses' Call.
This was two-fold: (a) Deliverance
from sorrow, oppression and the task
masters of Egypt (type of sin) 9,
10, 17. (b) Deliverance to freedom,
a better land, to service, worship and
riches, vv. 8. 12, 21, 22. Moses made
ready response to the voice of God,
saying, "Here am I** (r. 4). He had
not grown cold and cynical during his
shepherd days, but rather was more
keen and teachable. He bad, how
ever, another lesson to learn, vli.
the majesty and holiness of God. 8c
It was he is halted and commanded
to remove his shoes (v. 5). The
Christian can draw nigh with bold
ness (Heb. 10:19) but he must re
member to do so with "reverence and
«we M (Heb. 12:28, 29).
God's Answer.
111. Tha Credantlala That Accom
panied Mom' Call. As haa been
au(|Mttd, thla call came by meana o
two very common agencies, via., a
buah and a voice. While Moaea DO
longer depends upon hla own strength
yet he lacks that assurance and
those credentials that will justify, In
his own sight, a return to the court
of Pharaoh. "Who am I that I shouiu
go?" God's answer Is, "tJertalnly 1
will be with thee." Moses need havo
no fear, nor need the Christian
(Matt. 28:30). "If God be for ua who
can be agalnat us?" Our commission
which Is from Ood Is certain of ulti
mate success. There could be no pos
sibility of failure for Moses la told
that when deliverance la accomplish
ed "ye shall aerve Ood upon this
mountain." Tet Mosea Is not satis
fied for he remembers his previous
experience with his kinsman (lt.lß,
14), what shall he aay to them? In
answer God gives Moses a name by
which he shall be known "I am that
I am," and further he Is to tell them
that he Is the "Jehovah, the God of
their fathers- M God doea not aet be
fore Moses a primrose path to fol
low. He plainly states that Pharaoh
will object and that their deliverance
will be wrought by a mighty hand.
IV. Mosea' Response to the Call.
We have seen that thla call earns
"In" the midst of the oommon duties
of daily toll; that It was "tor" a defi
nite, a specific purpoee, deliverance
from and deliverance to; thla call
came "by" God. A God, past, present,
future. Ood a person. 1 am." God,
a power, 1 will," bat the call wa
"to" an agent God works hla par
poses through man, "I will send
thee." Thla agent had assurance,
proper credentials, and waa promised
power, sufficient aid. Moses aa this
agent was a man of (1) humility (v.
11); (t) lacking la knowledge (▼.
13); (S) lacking In confldsnoe (Ch.
4:1); (4) lacking eloqaenoe (4:10).
V. The Teaching. We thus have
presented a wonderful revelation of
God. The ua consumed buah appealed
to Moaea. filled to fullness with the
flaming Are of God's glory It waa
a till unconsented, a suggestion of
what the presence of Ood means
either In a man or among a people.
Ths visible Is followed by the audi
