Full Report of CapitaPs
School Facilities to Be Pub
Iished in Book.

The WASHINGTON Chamber of Com
merce will launch campaign next
week. the result of which, the officers
hope, will place Washington before
the country as the educational center
of the Nation.
The chamber will undertake to en-
courage the enlargement of all exist
ing universities here and will welcome
all new educational institutions, ana
under the direction of the committee
on colleges and private schools a sur.
vey of all educational institutions Will
be made.
Ouestionnaires will be sent to all
schools and colleges in the District of
Columbia by the chamber this week.
These ouestionnaires will ask for de
tailed information in regard TO each
institution. the size of the school or
college, its entrance requirements. ITS
standing with respect to other cot
leges, its curriculum. degrees awarded
and other details.
$50 Institutions Here.
There are already approximately l5o
educational institutions of all kinds
in the National Capital ranging from
universities with more than 80 build
ings 10 private colleges. girls sem
inaries and institutions dealing in cor
respondence courses. All these insti-
tutionS will be reached in the cham
ber'S survey.
Added to these schools and colleges
will be the various research depart
ments of the Government, the libraries
and the various Federal scientific eX-
perimental stations. All these educa-
tional features Of the National Capi-
tai will be compiled in a book and
sent throughout the country. They
will be sent to the various Chambers
of Commerce and similar organiza-
tions, and to those making inquiries
in regard to the facilities of Wash
ington.
1t is expected that the gathering of
the detailed information will take a
considerable amount of work and time
to accomplish. The officers of the
chamber, however, feel that Wash
ington has educational facilities that
cannot be had in other cities and that
it is the logical educational center of
the country as well, a center that
should attract foreign students.
