proper: but I respectfully suggest the following
as the outline of the system


The schools shall be established at such of the
old military Qualifications on the seaboard, as may
afford suitable accommodations, and as may not be
required by the War Department. &


The officers and teachers shall be supplied from
those actually in the naval service; and all nau5
teal instruments boats for practice, &c, shall De
furnished from the Navy. This will save nearly
the whole expense ofthe schools.


Instruction in the schools shall be given to can
didates for admission into the Navy, and to mid
shipmen actually in the service.


The admission of candidates shalfbe regulated
by law, as is done in regard to the West Point A
cademy.


No boy shall receive an acting appointment IN
the Navy, until he shall have passed a certain Pc
riod of diIigent study at a naval school; nor un-
less he shall produce the necessary certificates
from his officers and instructors of his good con-
duct capacity physical ability, and general fit-
ness


Among those who shall produce such certi6-
Gates appointments shall be made according to such
rule as Congress shall prescribe
Among the reforms the Secretary proposes "a
system of compulsory furlong," that is whenever
the Secretary Of the Navy shall be of opinionthat
an officer is unfit for the service, he shall be re-
qured to present his name TO the Senate for FUR
lough stating fully if required so to do, the rea-
sons for that opinion. Ii the Senate. after such


inquiry as it may choose to institute, shall concur
with him, the officer shall be put on furlough up
on certain proposition-say one-halt bis pay, and
be considered out ofthe service In this way,
the same power that appoints, will remove, and
the act, receiving the sanction ofthe Senate, will
be placed above the suspicion of injustice or op-
preston.


The creation of higher grades, such as Admi-
raj, Vice Admirals and Rear Adinirals, is re-
commended, and also an increase in the number
of Mariners and Marine officers of lower grades !
attention is drawn to the deprcdatons committed
on the navy timber belonging to the United
States.


F1e recommends the establishment of Navy
Yard, on the largest scale, on the waters of the


lower Mississippi


He thinks the mechanical labor in the Navy
Yards too dearly paid for-does not think a me-
chanic should work less hours or receive higher
wages when in the public employ than when in
private workshops.


The report next mentions the result OF expert
mcn!s made TO the test the quality Of metals, &C.
used in the construction of vessels. The Secre-
tary intends, in few days to lay before Con
gross cole ofrules and regulations for the Navy
prepared in obedience to their directions.
