Annapolis Weeds Out
All Civilian Teachers
ANNAPOLIS, Au^. 13.—The big
cut in the number of civilian teach
ers at the Naval Academy, a result
of the policy of financial retrench
ment in the navy, is felt keenly here
and strongly .resented by the large
number of instructors who lost their
employment and many others.
Not only is the blow a severe one
to those directly concerned but there
are indications that it is the begin
ning of a policy of ridding the insti
tution as far as possible of civilian
teachers and a return to the old pol
icy of having practically all the in
struction given by naval officers.
23 Have Been Dropped.
Twenty-three civilian teachers, out
of a total of seventy-two, r.ot includ
ing those in the department of physi
cal training have been dropped and
the number included several who had
been connected with the teaching
force of the academy as long as 20
years. The reduction mounted to
I practically one-third of the whole
force.
Ten of those who failed to reap
pointment were attached to the de
partment of modern languages, seven
to that of English, four in mathema
tics and one to marine engineering
and naval construction. One instruc
tor in the department of physical
training also was dropped.
There is no doubt that an appeal
will be made to congress in the mat
ter, particularly as it is claimed that
the standard of education will lower
at the academy on account of the

drastic cut in civilian instructors,,
who are trained and experienced
.teachers.
An old controversy is revived in
the matter, there being navy of
ficers who hold that as much instruc
tion of midshipmen as possible should
be by naval officers. Those opposed
to them hold that in the general
branches better instruction is given
by trained teachers.
In 1914, following an investigation
of the system of instruction at the
Naval Academy a large number of
civilian teachers were installed, and
the number has been increased from
time to time. Now', it is feared, the
force will be cut to such an extent
that it will exert little influence in
the education of midshipmen.
Rear Admiral Henry B. Wilson,
superintendent of the school said the
reduction was made necessary by the
decreased appropriation made by con
gress for the payment of instructors.
He also said the selections of those
to be retained were made for the
best interests of the naval academy.
Confined to Civilians.
It will be noted, however, that the
decrease in the teaching force ap
pears to have fallen entirely upon ci
vilian instructors. As far as is now'
known there will be no cut in the
number of naval officers assigned
here as instructors.
It is also claimed that the cut in
the teaching force is out of all pro
portion to the decrease in the num
ber of midshipmen. The decrease in
the number of midshipmen is entire
ly in the fourth, or l.ow'est class,
which is about one-third of the usual
number. However, the teaching force
of civilians has been cut about one
third.
On the other hand, it must be said
that the practice at the Academy is
to have small sections and intensive
instruction, while a larger proportion
of civilian teachers has been assigned
to the fourth class than to any oth
er.
The teachers who have been drop
ped feel the blow very keenly. Many
of them have acquired homes in An
napolis and are closely identified
with the activities of the community.
Steps already have been taken to
lay the whole matter before congress
and there is every indication that a
bitter fight is impending.
The Brosius garage is being re
moved today to a point near the Al
aska Transfer barn.
