Since the President has stated that contemplated changes in public service would not require a large recruiting of new personnel, he will undoubtedly draft his diplomats from more ornate but less exacting service in European posts, to add prestige to South American embassies.

...inability of two parties to compete on unequal preparation is manifest, Princeton with a divisional system complete in two years. Yale with a system quite as dissimilar, Cambridge under a totally different conception of the curriculum, can scarcely compete with Harvard under a divisional plan in absolute accord with the terms of the competition.

Since the basic principle in which all educators are in accord is that the broad purpose of education is to fit the individual most efficiently to understand, appreciate, and better himself and his fellowman, Mr. Hawtrey has not only proposed a universally desired solution of a perplexing international problem, but he has also furnished a definite target for contemporary educators...
