c. j. SCHOOL PLANS
SPECIAL. MISSION
Foreign Service Students to
Make Study of New York
Port Facilities.

! 1t is possible that students of ship
ping at the Foreign Service School of
Georgetown University may visit
Philadelphia early this Spring to study
and investigate the port facilities of
| that city. Mayor W. F'reeland Ken
drlck has extended a formal invitation
to the Georgetown students through
DR.. Albert ii. ilaas. professor of ship
ping at the school.
rof several years past the Foreign
Service School students have been Wis
ting Baltimore as the guests of the
mayor and port commissioner. These
tours of the harbor have proved ex-
tremely valuable in giving the stu
uentS Cf shipping first hand knowl-
edge of practical conditions explained
by experts and harbor engineers. Ap-
proXimately 125 men from the school
made the trip to Baltimore last year.
Philadelphia is so easily reached by
train from Washington that the
Georgetown authorities are seriously
considering accepting Mayor Kend
rick S invitation to visit that city, in
Spect its custom house, domestic and
.oreign trade facilities and it's great
industries which feed its commerce.
An entire day has been devoted to
these inspections and in the evening
the business men of Baltimore always
have given a dinner to the George
town visitors. 1t is believed an eX-
ceptional opportunity awaits the class
in shipping through Mayor Hendricks
invitat on. and Philadelphia probably
will be put on the Georgetown list
also this season. In event the invita-
ton is accepted officials of the school,
in addition to Prof. Haag, would ac-
company the party.
