studies, according to q consensus
expressed at the recent meeting
at the University Of Minnesota, at

and Federal executives.

A Report Forthcoming
The conference, called by the
university, was for general dis
cussion Of the relation between
college education and Government
service, particularly the profes-
sional work of the Government.
The results of the conference
will likely be put in permanent
form and submitted to the Ma
tional Council on Education.
The university invited the Fed
eral officials to attend the confer
ence 50 the latter could outline
what opportunities Government
work offers to highly educated
and specializing college men.
The college heads expressed
surprise at what they learned Of
Federal service opportunities in
q professional way.
According to DR.. Edison, chief
examiner of the Civil Service
Commission, the great field Of op-
portunity in Government work for
college-trained men made a ire
mendous impression on the educa.
tors. -

yates particularly for Govern
ment careers, or encouraging Un-
dergraduateS to neglect general
cultural subjects for SpecialtieS in
line with some Federal career,
neither the educators nor the
Federal officials sanctioned this.
They all unanimously agreed
that the general education was
more essential than specializing
before graduation.
AS for the general run of non
professional Federal positions, DR..
Edison reminded that educational
requirements are getting more
strict all the time, and that the
relative weight of education as

Sees Gains Ahead
He is firmly Of the opinion
that college graduates can achieve
success, high position, and all
that go with these. in Federal
service the same as in any other
field.
He believes that when these
and other educators spread among
undergraduates the facts about
real opportunities in the Govern

ESSEX TOURNEY
IN SEM|F|NALS

MANCHESTER, Mass, July %.
Little Dorothy Weisel, the pretty
California girl who rose to tennis
greatness in such spectacular
fashion last summer, is provided
with an opportunity to add
further to her laurels here this
afternoon, when she meets Mrs.
Helen Wills Moody, worlds cham.
pion, in the semi-final round OF
the Essex Country Clubs annual
invitation tennis tournament.
Mrs. Moody has been dynamit
ing her way through her opposi-
ton so far this week, beating all
her foes in straight sets. Virginia
Hilleary, of Philadelphia, went
out by a 60, 60 score yeSter
day in the quarter-finals.
Plays Super-tennis
If Miss Weisel can take a set
from Mrs. Moody-nobody con-
cedes her even an outside chance
of beating her-the little Cal
ifornia star will be definitely
established as one of the leaders
of the group who trail behind
Helen the first. No American
player has turned that trick since
1926.
Mrs. Moody played superior
mis- against Miss HilIeary. At
the baseline or UP at the net,
Miss Hilleary was rOundly out
played, the champion mixing
chops very cleverly with her
smashing drives to tire the
Philly star out very quickly.
Miss Weisel's place in the pen
ultimate round was gained by vir-
tue of a Ga victory over Joseph
inc Cruickshank, of Santa Ana.
The latter had Al lead in the
second set, but Miss Weisels ex-
pert lobbing soon dissipated that
advantage.
The other semi-finalists are
Mrs. Lawrence A. Harper and
M1dge Morrill,. They will play
their match tomorrow. Mrs.
Harper beat Mary Greet and Miss
Morrill, disposed Of Sarah Pal
frey in the quarterfinals.
