CANADIAN NAVY
. NEW SYSTEM OF ADVANCEMENT. OTTAWA, October 16. Officers trained for the Canadian Navy through the new lower deck system of advancement are now being graduated weekly in groups of as many as twenty-five. Experience indicates that the new officers are better trained than other war time graduates. Under the lower deck system every prospective officer must enter the lower deck as an ordinary seaman following, under close observation, a training routine and practical experience for approximately one year before emerging as a sub-lieutenant. It replaces the former system, which called for direct entry as probationary sub-lieutenant upon the recommendation of an Examining Board and four months training at Halifax Naval College.
