es, designed to prepare men for
| this career.
II young man is to hope for
success in this field he must

bracing these various subjects,

only the theory but also have
had long practical experience.
Georgetown now has 60 special
lists on its faculty, practically all

teal experience in this field.
For young men who have the
~
successfully this preliminary uni

| the foreign service career is a
brilliant one.
AS a whole, the field is not as

tremely interesting. 1t brings
its men into contact with the
intellectual. political, economic

and gives them a place cf high
standing in the communities in
which they work.
There is q vast range OF
positions in export and import
trade. international shipping. in
ternational banking, interna-

consular and trade commissioner

excellent today. but all iBdica-
tons point to the fact that it
viii become more important
every year and therefore offers
more opportunities for men who
are properly trained to carry on
this work. The Georgetown
School of Foreign Service, which
Is inaugurating its tenth year,
has had unusual success in
placing its graduates in every
corner OF the globe. The records
of the school show that they are
now located in over so foreign
countries. holding responsible
positions. representing either pri-
waite or public interests.
The unusual success Of the
school has spread its fame in
many lands. so that today its
| student body includes men from
EVERY State and from about Is
| foreign countries. One of the
principal reasons for the success
| of the Georgetown school is it's
location in Washington. which,
more perhaps than any other
city in the world, offers extraor-
binary facilities for training for

However much silverstein disbelleyed

phone in the back of the store and called

Silverstein asked him excitedly TO come

The courthouse was near. Within five

the rear door open for Goldie and her
mother. and then eased his vast bulk in
the front beside Silverstein.
They soon reached the Mason residence.
Gran'pop had already moved with the
sun. His old, battered chair was tilted
back against the front porch foundation
and his little. shrunken figure was re-
Taxed in it.
He opened n eye as the auto stopped
in front. Then. as Goldie, her mother,
Silverman and Abner Seebins came up
the front walk, he opened the other eye
and dropped the chair down on it's front
legs.
They gathered before him.
Abner looked down and there was gen.
uine affection in his voice as he said,
"Silverman here says he bought a brooch
from you yesterday for a hundred an

Gran'pop nodded with satisfaction.

fruit gathering than any other type OF
labor. Americans would avoid orange
