rooms, in the gun turrets. The shots that count in 

 battle are the shots that hit. 



We have reason to be satisfied with the rapid in- 

 crease in accuracy in marksmanship of the navy in 

 recent years, and I congratulate Admiral Glass and 

 those under him and all our naval officers who are 

 taking their part so well in perfecting that work, and 

 I congratulate the enlisted men of the navy upon the 

 extraordinary improvement in marksmanship shown 

 by the gun pointers. 



Applaud the navy and what it has done. That 

 is first-class. But make your applause count by 

 seeing that the good work goes on. Besides ap- 

 plauding now see to it that the navy is so built up 

 that the men of the next generation will have some- 

 thing to applaud also. 



AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKE- 

 LEY, CAL., MAY 14, 1903 



President Wheeler; Fellow-Members of the Uni- 

 versity: 



Last night, in speaking to one of my new friends 

 in California, he told me that he thought enough had 

 been said to me about the fruits and flowers; that 

 enough had been said to me about California being 

 an Eden, and that he wished I would pay some at- 

 tention to Adam as well. Much though I have been 

 interested in the wonderful physical beauty of this 

 wonderful State, I have been infinitely more inter- 

 ested in its citizenship, and perhaps most in its 

 citizenship in the making.
