A. Degree Offered. 1 i The degree of bachelor of arts in library science will be offered by the . division of library sciences for the first time during the coming term. Tie general requirements for this degree include two years' work in basic aca- demic subjects with a concentration of onal studies in the final two yea The various facilities for the | advance of knowledge which Washing- ton, through the Federal agencies here, offers to students will be used at length in development of this course. A new reading room has been equipped at the university during the past Summer to sccommodate 100 additional readers, thus offering further facility to<the students in this course. Beginning with the school year 1928- . 29 the School of Education will super- ise the work of all students, graduate . as well as undergraduate, whose major " Interest lies in the field of education. Two important changes have been made in Columbian College, the under- graduate school of letters and sciences, in the establishment: of a system of honors and a special course leading to the degree of bachelor of science. The new course includes .a survey of the natural sciences and specialized study in a major field. Students taking this . course are required to possess a read- ing knowledge of French or German before entering upon the work of the Junior year. Columbian Honors. Columbian College also will provide < systems of honors during the year ! mbout to begin. In addition to the gen- * eral honors referring primarily to the graduate work gained by the student during his entire course, there has been established a system whereby a student maintaining an exceptionally high grade during the early years of his! course may be graduated with honors in his subject by taking additional work | in his special field and passing an ex- amination offered by the department.| To receive such honors, a student must rank in the upper third of his class at | graduation. In the field of general honors, not more than two students in any one year may be graduated “with | highest distinction.” Not more than | one-twentieth of the graduating class | may be graduated “with high distinc- tion.” and not more than one-twentieth of those graduates ranking after the students graduated with high distinc- tion may be graduated “with distinc- tion.” The School of Pharmacy will offer | to full-time students only a four-year | course leading to the degree of bache- for of science in pharmacy, and a three- year course leading to the degree of | graduate in pharmacy. The division of fine arts hereafter will offer two courses in the department of architecture: a four-year professional course leading to the degree of bachelor of architecture, and. in the department of zraphic arts, a course leading to the f*grrr- of bachelor of arts with a major n art.

Haycock, assistant superintendent in charge of THE SUNDAY FOREIGN SERVICE SCOPE OUTLINED Profession of Diplomacy and Consular Work Now Taught as Newer Branch. BY THOMAS H. HEALY, PH. D., Assistant dean, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University. Within a few days thousands of high school graduates will enter professional schools to train for their life carkers. Only a few of them will have a clear- cut idea as to the scope and possibilities of the different professions and hence be able to make a wise choice to fit their individual cases. Some memr are admirably adapted to certain pro- fessions and yet would make a mis- erable failure in other professions. Most of them will have but a small idea of their chance for placement after they finish their professional study and in what particular branch of the pro- fession they have chosen and with what prospective remuneration. Every year a large number of students enter special schools for which they are not f | adapted and find this out too late and only after a waste of time, effort and money. This is particularly true of the newer professions, .among which is found foreign service. Hence a few words as to the scope of the foreign service profession may be helpful to students contemplating this career. Foreign service is a profession in- volving not only diplomacy and con- sular work as most people believe, but includes such other important fields as export and import trade, international shipping, international banking, inter- national law, foreign relations and trade commissioner work. With a foreign trade rapidly approaching the startling sum of $10,000,000,000 a year and with financial, economic and political inter- ests in every corner of the globe, the United States offers a rich field for work in foreign service in its broader phases. Within the past few years we have reached the point where we have the greatest export trade of any nation of the world, with the greatest wealth of any nation in the world, with assets estimated at over four hundred billions of dollars, with an annual international shipping expenditure of $800,000,000, with private investments abroad esti- mated at thirteen billions and with our international political influence second to that of no nation in the world. These far-reaching international in- terests, which are developing rapidly every year, require highly trained, com- petent men to carry on the work suc- cessfully, Both the Government and private interests in the United States have shown by their recent unprece- dented activities in foreign trade and foreign affairs that they realize the essential importance of a development of foreign service if the prosperity of the United States is to continue and expand. Our leading industrial firms. with vast preduction records, are forced to seek an outlet in foreign markets. The unrivaled concentration of capital in the United States has led necessarily to large American investments abroad The remaining departments of the | with the corresponding problems aris university, the Graduate School of Let- ters and Sciences, the Medical School, the Law School, the School of Nursing | ~ and the School of Engineering, will con- tinue to offer courses similar to those | 1510 H Street N.W.

The scientific and educational associ- ations, foundations, and agencies, ut- tracted to Washington by the unsur passed activities of the Federal depari- ments and independent establishments, are doing effective work in their re- spective fields. Among these associations are the National Education Association, Institute for Government Research, Na- tional Geographic Society, Brookings Graduate School. National Research Council, Haskin Bureau of Information, Newspaper Information Service and many others. The National Education Association. with a membership of more than 160,000 classroom teachers, principals, supervisors, college presidents and pro- fessors, research workers, and superin- tendents, has its headquarters at 1201 Sixteenth street, where it publishes a monthly magazine, the Journal of the National Education Assogiation; a re- search bulletin, a bulletin for elemen- tary school principals and a year book. This association, which was founded about 70 years ago, holds annually two conventions. Its department of super- intendence, which is composed of a ro- table body of educators actively en- gaged in public school work, studies problems in school administration and the like, of great value to the educa- tional interests of the Nation. The Na- tional Education Association has up- ward of 17 departments investigating educational problems, and its publica- tions are available to the general public. Promotes Science. The Carnegie Institution of Wash- ington, which was endowed by the late Andrew Carnegie, has its headquarters at the Nation’s Capital, but its labora- tories are distributed in the places where their special investigations may be best carried out.
