Fifteen Apply to Navigation School in City
Fifteen applications for admission to the school of navigation to be opened here August 6 had been received at the office of the Inspector of Hulls Henry O. Lueders before noon today from men who have followed the sea for three years or longer. He said applications were coming in rapidly and he expected a large enrollment, with many from Mobile territory coast points. Pensacola may send many students, and Tallahaska Florida to Gulfport Miss were noted as distant points. Lueders said this opportunity was unprecedented as instruction previously cost hundreds in tuition and was unavailable in the South. He cited high salaries for American ship officers, noting sailors earning $50-$60 monthly now earn $200-$350. He predicted many course graduates may command merchant vessels by war’s end earning perhaps $5,000-$6,000 annually.
