Consul ship '.or the asking; but you need to j:o to school to capture one these days, lust at present the demand for men luulilled to enter the consular service ot the I'nited State exceed the aupply.

Political Influence liecomes k and le a feature of consular ore- dent in kv The element o'( jeroiial worth incivan- under thi atluiiuintw tion. To help along the movement for bet ter prepared Mnul the Stato Depart ment, by authority o( Secretary Root. ha Just granted mrmision to John Hall (tM)rne, Chief of the ltureaii of Trade Relations of the State Department, to accept a position on the faculty uif the wlleae of iKilitical scheme connected with the George Whinj;toii I'nivernity. Mr. GMkorne will henceforth be a lec turer on the consider service. This appointment, i particularly im portant in view of the fact that wt the present time the chief function of our conuU abroad U to fo-tcr American comnieice. Originally the main object of the service was to protivt American sliippii which a century or more ago played it prominent part in our foreign tmde. i liut while the American mer chantman has almost disappeared from the seven .cas, our foreign commerce in crease year by year. Mr. 0lnnie is one of the younger men in imjMirtaiit governmental xmt a graduate of Yale in the chus of 'SJ, who served his ap prenticeship an tnited States consul at (ihent, Belgium, from 18H1I to 1S15 and who was joint secrvtarv of the ileci- proeity Commi-'sion between I8i7 and 190.1 Mr. Osborne' connection) wiljh tihe College of Politk-al Sciences n'inforces the idea which for muny years has pre vailed among stmlent of the wnsuhir service that sooner or later the political science deportment of George Washing ton I'niverdty will be ollk-inlly recog nized a a school of diplomacy and ex aminations now held at the olliccs of the State Department will be held at the University. Hon. John Itarctt, formerlr United States minister to Kiuui and now at the head of the Interstate j'.ureau of Ams-ricnn Rilpubllcs, gave considerable prominence to this idea soon nftcr this school was established. He advocated, in effect, the abolition of the State Department system of exami nations and the substitution of at lcat a three-months couise nt George Wash ington University which was then known In the eductational world as Columbian University. The State Department ex amination continue, hut it is well- known here that the College of Political Science is as yet the only fcIiooI in the United Stales for those intending to take up u diplomatic career and thai the graduates of this school, political influ ence nside, stand the best chance of se curing the most attractive posts of the -ervicc. There lias been a great deal oT erili cisin on the conulni' service founded on no better observation than that of the woman who on returning from I'lirope complained in a letter which she sent to a New York newspaper that the consul in Kiirope Mas not a scholar -and a gen tlcmun. 'Why," she Hiked, "cannot all our con-ulai' positions he filled by men of the Sir Juliau I'uiuicefote tvpc'" It evidently had not occurred to the fair critic that men lit to be umbissn.lors are not likely to he holding down fjil.VM) a year joins in sonic town that has seen better days. However, then; was abundant, cau-e for much of the ci'itieism passed upon the service, but the times have changed ind the service has changed with them Today it takes n man with a pretty fair knowledge t)t several mpoitant sub iccts to qualify for the service. The candidates that took the examination just finished at the StuU; Department had to pas m French, German or Span ish ; on the natural, industrial and com mercial resources of the United States; political economy j international, mari time and commercial lawj American his tory) government and its different in stitutions; political and commcricnl geo graphy; arithmetic, and the. history of Kiirope, South America mid the far Fast since, 1850. The examination wail conducted un der the personal RiipcrvMon of Chief Kxnmiiwr Kecgnn of the Civil Service Commission. The percentage inquired to pan was 80, which is ten points high er than that usually required in compet itive examinations for government posi tions. Many of the candidate were umn bulun-s men.

Jeffrey ltoche, Uie poet and lil torlan, who occupies one of the Italian posts. Times, In many ways, have changed since the ronular service w conducted on the prluclple so boldly enuneintvd by rresident Jucksou "To the victors be long the sil." In the early days of the republic, the only consuls under sal ary were those lg"d to the several posts in the Iktrbary State on the nor thern coast of Afrka. Such other con suls a th President u ill to appoint, with the udvlca and consent, of the Sen ate, ivcvived 'lee or conuulMlon. As lute as 1HA3 there were only ten pots in the consular service who occupants revived annual alaries; namely, the tlnx-s- iu the Harbary Slate, three more in China, end the consulates at London.

Today, under Secrelary Uoot, the puriMise of the state department, which since the beginning hit controlled the consular serivce, is to make the exain- untion more searching than ever, and in lh' way to enhance the effective ness p; the service, At tlrst the examination or proba tionary period wa upHM'd to lat frum two wei'ks to a month. The candidate n ported at the office of one of the si-tant secret uies of tate, -howed his notice of appointment, received a copy of the Service Manual, uiid, If the man iu charge happened not to be ill good hu mor, was ake a lot of grammar school questions. Sometime the appointee went tMlgbt to his pnt without bothering about these formalities, paying hi own way, of eoure, a all conuls do. Thu it came about that a good many unlit men still go into the service. But nowadays there i uo ecape from the ex amimitioiis, during which the aparuncf and character of the caiidiate are studied a carefully u bis intellectuul capacity. Consequently the tone of the eervice is being raised rapidly. Although the consular and diplomatic service is not yet on a permanent basis, the organized school of diplomacy under the auspice of the George Washington University ha been In existence since 1808. It was 0Mned In the presence of President McKlnley, and a large gath ering of Amerlcun and foreign diplo mat under the name of The School of Comparative Jurisprudence mid Diplo macy. This was the firat school of political science in the new world. Since 18118 this preparatory school lor diplo mats bus been greatly enlarged and strengthened, so thit today, under its new uauiu of the College of Political Science, it is to all intents und purpo se a recogniwd adjunct of the State Department. This national training ground for dip lomats of high and low degree seems, n far as its I'jculty is concerned, like a government institution.
