To have had Il few years a secretary under Sir

maxim exceptions prove nothing in either way
Having attained the dignity of world power
the United States should be ably represented al
every of the civilized globe One often hears
contemptuous remarks made about the useessness
of foreign diplomatic representation. They ernanate
from men who have real conception of the duties

You could not convince such a person that the
Secretary of State has not stenOgraphers enough
in his office to conduct all the necessary 'diplo-

writing a letter, putting stamp upon it and allow

meet any diplomatic need.
Nothing, however, could be more absurd than
such an attempt 10 conduct negotiations with

the diplomatic service of Edward VII, dstin-
gushed from the consular branch, is received with
the understanding that he is entering upon his
lifes work He is assumed to have college and
often a university education before he presents
himself because he must stand examination IN
the regular branches of academic education.
He must be able to speak and read at least three
languages. Especially must he be a student OF
history and appreciate the achievements, com

that of experience must light his of action.
