George Washington University an- nounces, through President William Mather Lewis, a conference on public administration to take place here on the dates of March 24 and 26. The conference will be attended by mem- bers of the faculties of universities and colleges throughout the countr Questions of political science, eco- nomics, commerce, foreign service, business administration, taxation and transportation—in fact, the whole business of government—will be dis- cussed by high Government officials. There will be three days of round- table discussions of the business of the Government, so that university and college teachers will get at first hand {and from the sources the various gov- ernmental problems. President Lewis has consulted a number of university presidents on the conference and has recelved en- thusiastic support. Comment by President Lewis. “Our mission in this conference declared Dr. Lewis, “is to place before those who are teaching various sub- jects having to do with the Govern- ment the authoritative information | direct by Government heads. Teach- ers.in soclal sciences will have an op- portunity to come in close personal touch with those who are actually car- ving on the business of the Govern- ment in its various phases. “On the other hand, the conference will give the Government heads the orportunity to present their points of view to-those who are teaching gov- ernment and its phases throughout the Nation.” The preliminary program for the conference is under way and the: pro- gram will be announced later. In the meantime various colleges and univer- sities will be invited to send repre- sentatives. Informal invitations sent thus far have been well received. The project has been heartily indorsed, and from indications will ably serve its purpose. Progress in Teaching Predicted. From the various discussions fol- lowingsthe various speakers consider- able progress is expected to be made in the various lines of teaching. It will be the first time in the history of education that such an opportunity’ has been offered the leading educators in various lines of governmental teaching. In the same manner it will allow Government heads to state con- cretely before the leaders of govern- ment teaching their views and problems. As soon as Dr. Lewis returns from the Pacific Coast, January 1, the en- tire program for the conference will be gone over. Responses obtained thus far warrant the prediction that the conference will be one of the most interesting in the history of education. Information and invitations are be- ing sent to governmental heads far enough in advance so that they may make room for the conference on ! their schedules or delegate the proper authority. All sessions of the confer- ence will be held in the university ! buildings, probably Corcoran Hall.
