 TO BE LEADER

Washington, July 12-DeclarinG "the world is looking to the United States to assume the responsibilities of leadership in education and in science made vacant by Germany through the war, Commissioner of Education Claxton, in a letter to col lege and university presid ants, made public today, asks that steps be taken by American schools to attract stu dents from Europe.
 Apparently Germany expects to regain the influence which she for merly eXerted over foreign nations by means of her universities, technical schools and scientific institutions MT. ClaXton's letter says, pointing out that there is no immediate prospect that Germany can make a successful appeal to the students of Great Britain, France or Italy. However, this letter says, the cause of proXi- mity, Germany may be able to draw students from Czecho-SlOvakia, Jugo- Slavia, Russian. Rumania and west Asia, but American schools through t..e offering of scholarships should be able to counteract this advantage.
