business of government-will be dis
cussed by high Government officials.
There will be three days of round
table discussions of the business Of the
Government, so that university and
college teachers will get at first hand
and from the sources the various gov
ernmental problems.
President Lewis has consulted a
number of university presidents on
the conference and has received en-
thusiastic support.
Comment by President Lewis.
Our mission in this conference,
declared DIR. Lewis, lis to place before
those who are teaching various sub
jects having to do with the Govern
ment the authoritative information
ers in social sciences will have an OPP
portunity to come in close personal
touch with those who are actually car
rying on the business of the Govern
ment in it's various phases.
''On the other hand, the conference
will give the Government heads the
opportunity to present. their points of
view to those who are teaching gov
eminent and it's phases throughout
the Nation"
The preliminary program for the
conference is under way and the pro-
gram will be announced later. In the
meantime various colleges and univer-
sites will be invited to send repre-
sentatives. Informal invitations sent
thus far have been well received. The
project has been heartily Endorsed,
and from indications will ably serve
it's purpose.
Progress i'm Teaching Predicted.
From the various discussions fol
lowingSthe various speakers consider.
able progress is expected to be made
in the various lines of teaching. 1t
will be the first time in the history
of education that such an opportunity
has been offered the leading educators
in various lines of governmental
teaching. In the same manner 1t will
allow Government heads to state con-
cretely before the leaders of govern
ment teaching their views and
problems.
As soon as DIR. Lewis returns from
the Pacific Coast, January 1, the en-
tire program for the conference will
he gone over. Responses obtained
thus far warrant the prediction that
the conference will be one of the most
interesting in the history of education.
Information and invitations are be-
ing sent to governmental heads far
enough in advance so that they may
make room for the conference on
their schedules or delegate the proper
authority. All sessions of the confer
ence will be held in the university
buildings, probably Corcoran Hall.
