At the conclusion of the war Mr. Lewis was asked to take the office of director of the savings division of {the Treasury Department, succeeding Frank A. Vanderlip in this position. He had been active in the liberty loan campalgns during the war. As_director of the savings division Mr. Lewis served under four secre- taries of the Treasury, Mr. McAdoo, Senator Glass of Virginia, Mr. Hou ton and Secretary Mecllon.' Mr. Lewis is a democrat and when the republi- can administration came in he te dered his resignation, but was re- quested by Secretary Mellon to re- main in office. His work as head of the division was not only administra- tive, but also largely along educa- tional lines—teaching the doctrine of thrift and also warning the people against “wild cat” investments of all kinds. In 1921 Mr. Lewis became chief of the education service of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the big clearing house for the cham- bers of commerce and boards of trade thoughout the courtry. Members of the chamber had come to realize that there was too great a separa- tion between the business interests of the work-a-day worid and the educational system. Closer Touch Attained. It was necessary to bring the two into closer toach for the best results, “his has been the job of the educa- tion service of the National Chamber of Commerce under Mr. Lewis and long steps have been taken, it is felt, in the right direction. The needs of a community are studied from business-and industrial viewpoints and adyice given as to the best means of obtaining from the schools young men and women cupable of meeting those necds. The cducation service has laid particular s more adequate Fuildings for the schools throughout the coun- try—to take the place, for example, such buildings as that which Le. came the fureral pyre of scores of children and their parents in South Carolina recently. It has laid particular stress upon the betterment of health and physical velorment ol the school children. he effort has been made to show the schools that the physical develop- rent should be for the rank and file of the pupils rather than merely for the foot bull, base ball or track teams, and that money should be ex- pended for the whole student body rather than for a rmall minority. Has Written Much. The new president of George Wash- {ington University is full of energy— dynamic is the word. He is well-as a teacher. He 1904 elected Readings Most Popular Novels. author of “Voices of (19 the “Liberty Loan Speakers’ Handbooks,” articles in the Ind pendent, the Analyst and other pub- lications. Some of his lat work as been done for the Encyclopedia Brittanica. He was selected as the American to write about economies of various kinds practiced during the war for the encyclopedia. In the course of his work as ex- ecutive officer of the national com- mittee of patriotic societies, as di- writer edited from the *" He the Our Leaders” in {rector of the savings division of the Treasury Department and as chief of the education service of the National Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Lewis has spoken to hundreds of organizations in all parts of the country. There not a state in which he has spoken, and comparatively few He married Miss Ruth Durand Lake Forest in 1906. They have one daughter. Mr. Lewis is a member of the S. A.

Slected Temporarily. “Upon the resignation of the late president he was unanimously called to the office of president during the period intervening between that resignation and the election of a per- manent successor—a period unex- pectedly extended to two years.

What is needed here in Washington is a type of institution _different from most ~other colleges.
