A Premature Course.

Two eastern universities that some
years ago established diplomatic
courses intended to fit graduate stud
ents for the American diplomatic serv-
ice have proved a failure. Only one
student, il is reported has taken the
examination thus far.
The explanation offered now might
have occurred more readily when the
course was being considered as an ar
gument against establishing It, This
is that personal and political influence
have more to do with appointment
than individual merit or record. In
fact, it was truer then than now when
an effort is really being made to make
qualification and Individual merit the
basis for appointment and promotion.
If it was thought advisable to estab-
lish such a course then it should be
more so today.
But the fault is deeper than this ex-
PLANTATION, weakened by the present
improved conditions. 1t was too am
bilious. II the course had been to in
struct aspirants for places in the cor =
sular service as a stepping stone to
the diplomatic branch it would have
offered wider opportunities. That is
the method adopted by the most eff
Glen OF other countries in ira ming
embryo diplomats. They begin at the
bottom and work up.--Pittsburg Dis
