is too moderate. It would be less than

ngton.-Conyinced that one of
the results Of the present European
war will be to interest foreign stu
dents in opportunities for education in
the United States, DR.. p p. ClaZton,
United States commissioner Of educa-
tion, has authorized the immediate
preparation and publication Of a spe-
cial bulletin describing, for the use Of
foreign students, the facilities for pro
fessional and collegiate study in high
er institutions Of learning in this coun-
try. The bulletin will be printed in
several languages.
This is Americas opportunity" de.
clares Commissioner Claxton. Thou
sands Of students who have been at
tending universities in Europe will be
obliged to look elsewhere for higher
education, not only this year. but per.
haps for years to come, Many foreign
students are already coming to us,
many more will come as the result, di-
rect and indirect, Of present events.
We have now supreme opportu-
nifty to demonstrate our capacity for
intellectual leadership, Whether the
war continues three months or three
years, our opportunities and obliga
tions to take the lead in education
and civilization will be the same, and
America should respond by offering
the best opportunity in the world for
her own students and for those who
may come from other countries,
In the case Of South America this
student migration will be facilitated
by the opportune opening Of the Pan
ANA canal, Students from the western
coast Of South America will find 1t al
luringly convenient to 90 via the canal
to educational centers In the United
States.
Within the last two decades the
increase In opportunity for graduate
study and research, and for profession.
al and technical education has been
very remarkable, much greater than
most people even In America realize
The recent raising Of standards and
the better equipment OF medical
schools, the large endowments and ap.
preparations for all forms Of engineer
ing, the marvellous growth Of our col
leges Of agriculture, the development
Of colleges and schools OF education,
and the rapid increase in income Of
all the better colleges make It pos.
slbe for this country to take the lead
In education In way that would have
been impossible even at the beginning
