Ship Board Solves
Officer "Problem" •
Washington. The problem of j
finding American officers for ihe;
vast new merchant marine of thej
country has been solved, the United j
States Shipping Board states. The]
number of Americans skilled in sea- j
going and competent to serve as ]
deck officers or having mechanical j
knowledge fitting them to become
marine engineers who have come |
torward in response to the board s
calls for officers, has astonished the:
I most sanguine prophet in the Ship
ping Board's recruiting service. I
In anticipation of the demands fori
I officers lor the new merchant fleet, j
'his service began training officers in i
June 191". a 1 navigation and engi- 1
neeri'ng schools established for thej
purpose. The goal of the service
was then to secure 10.000 students]
for these schools in eighteen months..
This total was passed early in Sep-1
tember and this week the total !
reached 11,000. The present attend
ance at the schools is 1,662 students.
1 The engineering schools lead with
865 and tire navigation schools are
coming strong with 797 There are
thirty-two of the schools.
Application for attendance at
these schools have come from all
sections of the country, front Alaska,
the Far East, Hawaii and the Canal i
' Zone Those from the latter place]
have been equal to the attendance]
-it some of the schools. A majority i
of the applicants, and all the slu-i
dents accepted, are American citi-1
Z6l ln all the vessels being built for I
the great emergency fleet simplicity j
of living quarters is imposed by war i
conditions: yet these quarters would]
appear palaiiul to the early Ameri
can sailing-ship sailor.
On a 5,000-ton freighter-—this]
being a moderate-sized vessel as]
freighters go—the captain has a]
suite of his own on the lower bridge,.
reached from below by a gangway'
from the bridge deck. His bedroom
has a liberal built-in bunk with chest,
of drawers beneath or in some ships
a brass bed. Off this is a. bathroom
with porcelain tub, and toilet.
The captain also has an office,
with table, arm chairs and roll-top
desk, where he conducts the ship's
business and receives visitors. These
quarters are steam-heated against
wlter'B cold and have screens and
fans if the ship is running in south
rrn waters
The first mate shares the mealn
deckhouse with the captain, having
a room directly under the bridge.
This is often twelve feet square, with
white iron or brass bed. built-in
couch with drawers- under it and]
ample clothes lockers and shelf
space. The mate usually also has a
private bath. The second and third
mutes and each of the engineers have
a good-sized stateroom with a com
mon bathroom for each fating.
In the main deckhouse is the din
ing saloon or messroom. Here the
officers, from eight to ten in num
ber. have their meals. On the new
ships this is a bright and cheerful
room, finished in oak or some other
hard wood varnished, having a side-I
board and iouther upholstered chairs]
' and lockers.
