NAUTICAL KNOWLEDGE IN THE CLASSROOM AND BOOKS ASSISTS ENSIGNS - TO - BE IN PLOTTING THEIR COURSE ASTRONOMY Yes, the boys in the bell-bottomed trousers may be able to navigate a row boat around the quarry very deftly, but when it comes to handling a little larger craft, for instance, a battleship, we will turn them over to celestial navigation class with a sigh of relief and a plea for assistance. Navigation as the blazed trail for the unexperienced and the experienced sailor, alike. Through nav, the Wesleyan V-12 learns to chart his course by studying the stars. After giving much concentration to learning the positions of the celestial bodies as seen on the pages of a text book, the nautical understudies of Professor Babrovnakoff are tak- en to peer at the real thing through the laboratory tele- scope. Modern science has brought a few new instruments into the picture, as astronomy has become an exact science. Thus the sextant and the compass and other mechanical devices are given careful consideration and the skill in their use is developed. Coastlines and currents, cloud form- ations and winds are charted by the future ensigns, until every lurch of his vessel can be predicted with precision by him. Star-gazing is no longer an idle fancy for passing time on crisp winter evenings or balmy spring nights. The pat- terns of stars, making the heavens a virtual picture album, are not only decorative gifts of nature, but are also yard- sticks by which boats may purposefully plot the course to their destination. Any astronomy addict can furnish num- erical descriptions of twinkle, twinkle little star, we know just exactly where you are. Peering Through Telescopes Translates Charts of the Heaven
