Dee, 6, "Among the nuy things Mr. Root has done for this country daring his public career one of the greatest and most abiding is the new Mgime he has introduced into the consu lar seroce," said, the other day, one of the best known citizens of the District f Columbia. "Much yet remains to be done and doubtless the Secretary would gfadly have gone iurther if Congresa had given him the authority, but he haa at tary rate made more than a great begin ning." That this country is even yet laggard ja providing for an intelligent well-edu-cated consular service is a conclusion that has been strengthened in the mind f DrJUcbarJ D. Harlan, former presid ent of Lake Forest University near Chicago and eldest son of JusUce Harlan of the United States Supreme Court, who has been making a tour of England and France in the interest of the George Washington University of this city. WJien Dr. Harlan went abroad Jat summer he had in mind particularly ta investigate two schools in England nj France which have acquired a wide reputation for their practical methods of preparing young men for diplomatic mreew.. These are respectively, the great Bcole des Sciences Politiques, Paris, and the London School of Econ omics and Political Sciences, which, in many respects, must serve as models for the organized school of .Nplomacy which has been in proce?. 01 upbuilding in this ty since 1898.. In speaking of the Paris school Dr. Harlan says: "The story of the Ecole 4ta Sciences Politiques makes one of the Tightest pages to recent French history At the close of the Franco-Prussian war the ne thought upper-most in the minds f every intelligent patriotic Frenchman was, What can be done to lift our coun- Special Reduction ON Japanese Goods AT Yokohama Bazar All kinds of Japanese goods, including China wares, baskets, silk handkerchiefs, brass wares, fans, toys, bamboo furni tures, etc, etc. Some goods at naif pries. 626 Commercial Street try out of the dust and make a new France. "It came into the heart of Emile Bout- my that the 'beat way for him to help his country was to found a ehool where her sons might acquire a better know ledge of the nations of the world (France included), of diplomacy, history, social questions and the political science.' With this end in view. Bout my founded Ecole des Science Politiques, in 1871, and gave generously of his means and all his ener gies and time to its upbuilding. "The success of this school was in stantaneous. It now employs fifty pro fessors and instructors and has I.OUO students. So important has been its ser vice to France that d urine the paat ten years all the appointees to the French foreien service, whether diplomatic or consular, iwith only three exceptions, have been graduates of this school. "Its diploma helps not only to open the door to the public service, but has enabled its graduates to carry off many of the richest prizes in large commercial enterprizes in France, and Emile Bout my's name will always be remembered aa one of the benefactora of modern France. An equally enthusiastic account is brought back of the successful working of the London School of Economics. This institution was founded in 1893 for the purpose of giving young Englishmen training in the sciences particularly ap propriate to governmental service at home and abroad. It was overcrowded in the first year, and larger quarters had to be secured. It happened in 10X) that the University of London, composed of various schools of the higher education, had to be remodelled, and with it the School of Economics was affiliated. Lord Roseberry in 1902 presented the build ing now occupied in Clare Market. The school had a total of 1,633 stu dents in 1906-7. It is independent of government control, though a subsidy of from $12,000 to $15,000 is granted by reason of special service to the State. Each season the institution receives 400 students nominated by eight of the lead ing railway companies of Great Britain from among the more promising of their employees. The Secretary of the.flritish War Department has also undertaken the training of thirty selected officers in some of the subjects offered by the school. Many important private corpora tions of the Briaish metropolis now send their best clerks to the School of Econo mics after business hours as a means of increasing their efficiency. In accordance with the reforms insti tuted by Secretary Root, young men in all the leading colleges are now being urged to consider the diplomatic service as officering a fieldfor a career. It is, how ever, generally recognized that even the best equipped graduates of universities and technical schools need specialized training for the particular calling which they are going to undertake. This is the kind of training which they would secure as a matter of course in Great Britain or France, and which is beginning to be recognized in this country as nec essary, provided Uncle Sam is to be bet ter represented abroad than he has been in the past. During his tour Dr. Harlan had occasion to interview hundreds -01 business men, both Americans and fore igners, and he discovered that almost without exception they say that the tlniteil States consular service is still far from being up to the mark.
