N.Z. CADETS FOR ROYAL NAVY
This year six cadets from New Zealand will be sent to England to undergo training which will fit them to become officers in the Royal New Zealand Navy. In outlining this scheme, which has as its ultimate object the staffing of the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy by New Zealanders, the Minister of Defence, the Hon. F. Jones, said that the British Government had agreed to it, and that a certain number of young men will be sent Home each year for training. The six who are going this year will train for the executive, engineering and accountant branches. Candidates must be between the ages of 17 years and 18 years and eight months for cadets: between 17 and 18 years for entry as cadets (E); and between 19 and 24 years for entry as probationary paymaster sub-lieuten-ants. Candidates must be unmarried, and must have passed the University entrance examination. They will be required to present themselves to an interview board, pass a medical examination, and undergo an educational examination. Full particulars for the scheme can be obtained from the Naval Secretary, Army Headquarters, Wellington.
