Highfiyer ' in 1913 and at Keyham since the outbreak of war. It contains a record of the entries—complete except for the High- flyer ' term—and a series of group photographs for the successive terms, together with articles on the Highfiyer ' and on the develop- ment of the Royal Naval College at Keyham. Captain Mansell, the head of the College, says in his Preface that the staff " have been delighted at the good reports received from the captains and other officers in the Fleet, and we have every confidence that this will continue." There is, indeed, reason to believe that the Special Entry has proved a great success, and that the Admiralty acted very wisely in appealing to the Public Schools, as well as to the Prepara- tory Schools, for candidates for commissions in the Navy. Experi- ence has shown that the two classes of Midshipmen, from Dart- mouth and from Keyham, merge quite naturally when the rank of Sub-Lieutenant is reached.
