A Spontaneous selection.

The nomination of Governor Coolidge
for vice president may be truly said
to have been the result of the most
united and spontaneous movement in
the proceedings of a convention that
had an unusual array OF differences to
overcome II came not as the result
of any compromises or side arrange
ments between delegations or leaders.
On the other hand, it was an open field
in which for the first time the dele
gates could express themselves without
being under instructions or pledges, or
subject to any of the conditions that
divided the forces in relation to either
the platform or the nomination of the
head of the ticket.
Nor did the Coolidge nomination
come from any thought of expediency
in geographical arrangement IT did
not follow that because Ohio had been
honored with the first place that the
second should 60 to Massachusetts.
Nor was there thought apparently
of more definitely recognizing elements
in the convention contending for
strength or control Nor did the final
impetus for the choice of the Massachu-
setts governor come from the faithful
band of Massachusetts, delegates that
stood by him while the leaders for the
presidential nomination were being DIS
posed of.
The truth is that the Coolidge nomi-
nation came as general, sponta
neous and prompt expression of the tenn
per of the whole convention of deleg-
ates East and West The far West
Joined with the East in the opinion
that Calvin Coolidge had become a
strong man in the party and with the
people by the simple artless process Of
meeting squarely and fairly the prob
lens of his own job, without thought
either of promoting his own political
strength or of gaining the support of
any particular class of the party or of
the people. The convention was look
ing Tor strong man to put on the
ticket with Senator Harding and by
general consent Coolidge was the man.

School for Intensive Study of Subject

summer school, or "plattsburgh," as il
is called, for the intensive study of
Pan. American and other foreign com
merce. which is to be held in Washing
ton. D. C., July 10 to August p in
elusive
The movement for the school was mi
tiated by Director General John Bar
rett. II is the result of various con
forences, which he has held since the
war with foreign trade interests and
educational experts representing the
principal commercial centers of the
United States. The plan is endorsed4by
the department of commerce of the
United States and many of the foreign
embassies and legations. II is assured
of the support of not only the leading
exporting and importing, financial and
shipping interests of the United States,
and Latin America but also of repre-
sentative educators of both continents.

viii open the way to new field OF ac-
tivity and employment for young men
and women of both North and South
America. and will satisfy a long felt
want of firms interested or engaged in
foreign trade to send members of their
staff for foreign trade study without
long absence from duty
Director General Barrett will serve
as chairman OF. the advisory board, and
Tho staff of lecturers will be headed by
Dr. r. $. MacElwee. the new chief of
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce. Other lecturers will include
trade exports of national and interna-
tional repute.
-Four main conditions inspired the
organization of this school; first, the
unprecedented critical conditions facing
United States trade, especially in Lat
in America and also TO considerable
degree. in other parts Of the world;
second. the actual need and rapidly
growing demand from representative
firms engaged in foreign trade for men
and women trained and equipped for
the field of foreign commerce especially
i'm Latin America; third, the wish OF
such firms to send their own young
men and women for intensive study
without prolonged absence from duty;
fourth. the desire of young men and
women whose time is limited, to attend
tor brief period some intensive school
which will prepare them 10 meet this
need and demand. The school will be
omen to both men and women. with
both on the same basis Of study and
opportunity.
