ice school of Georgetown could

word concerning its secretary.
Thomas H. Healy, . Washington
man, "born and raised here" so
he assured F'lambeau. Mr..
Healy, who is athletic and of
distinctive personality, served in
France during the war with the
heavy artillery. And to this
circumstance he now attributes
great good fortune, for there
he met and married the charming
Mile. Michel. descendant of q IA
nous old French family, and
their son was born in France.
Now Madame Healy has ar
rived in Washington, which she
likes very much, and she is max
ing rapid progress in learning
to speak English, while Secretary
Healy has nearly perfected his
French, of which he scarcely
knew a dozen words when he
proposed to the bewitching
French girl, or rather to her
family, of course.
Madame Healy IL herself an
artist Of great ability in the
handicrafts, and it is probable
that she will have a deep inter
est in the development of the new
building for the school Of foreign
service, in the plans for which
the entire staff are cooperating
so enthusiastically.
UTILITY OF PLAN.
The director Of the Pan-Ameri-
can Union believes that the new
scholarships for Latin-American
students will have a far-reaching
influence. In acknowledging them,
Director Rowe wrote Secretary
Healy: THE establishment of
these scholarships is a most inn
portant step in the development
Of Pan-Americanism, and l feel
that every citizen Of this country
owes a debt of gratitude to the
school of foreign service of
Georgetown University for the
statesmanlike policy thus inau-
gurated."
And, of course, no resume could
be concluded without reference to
the students themselves, the num-
Der of whom has trebled in the
past year and a half.
How does one learn diplo-
macy?" Flambeau asked them.
Tell Baron Korff's story
they prompted each other. And
this was the instruction of their
professor of political economy, the
famous Baron Serge Korff. 1t is

No And when a diplomat says
No. he's no diplomRtP'
