INTRODUCTION TO THE BASIC MECHANISMS

---

Concepts are not perceived by the senses nor are they learned by an accumulation of facts. rom the data of perception and the interrelation of facts, one abstracts his own concepts: therefore they cannot be directly taught but must be insinuated into the mind by the attitudes and perspective of the teacher. This course is only one cog in a four ycar whcel that should develop a concept of the significance of the student's vocation. To contribute to the ability to do constructive thinking is the principal aim of this course.
In light of this aim, the author sets forth three main objectives: (1) To show the student the importance of definitions and distinctions among terms, (2) To insure understanding of the various basic mechanisms and their variations, combinationg, and interrelations, and (3) To show the relationship of this course to the total training of an officer, who must perceive relationships: must select, evaluate, and organize pertinent data, and must anticipate problems and their solutions. These reguirements apply to professional efficiency and the relationship between officer and subordinate. This latter condition involves the teacher-student relation, as well as the situation hinging upon obedience to authority. Just as a shoeshine does not create dignity, so superficiality does not constitute efficiency. Respect of subordinates is commanded not by words but by knowledge and poise.
In order to furnish a textbook to meet the needs of Midshipmen of the Third Class at the United States Naval Academy, and yet to provide a general perspective of the principles involved in the mechanisms related to their future work, the author has attempted to prepare the text so that it would show the interrelationships among the various types of mechanisms with reference to those principles involved. Applications have been used only for their illustrative value: no attempt has been made to examine all the varied mechanisms dependent upon the principles explained.
Although the course in Basic Mechanisms at the United States Naval Academy is of nine weeks duration, this text has been written to meet the needs of a full semester course. Chapters I, II, and III are basic. The other chapters may be included to suit the course. However, chapters IIS, IV, and V and chapters VII and VIII form seguences.
The author wishes to expross his sincere appreciation to his wife for her suggestions and crilicisms in bhe preparation of this text. He is grateful to Captain Robert B. Madden (USN) for his interest and en
