Speakers Discuss Problems.
The chapters program has been
helpful to the students in many
ways. They have participated in
the work of the larger Washington
Chapter and in addition have held
a number of meetings attended by
prominent industrial and govern

celerated the interest of the student
members, many of whom are en-
gagged in practical work in the
Government or are preparing for
business or Government service.
Guest speakers address the stu
dents from time to time on praC-
tical phases of some of the problems
they are studying in the class room.

the Georgetown Chapter recently
are James G. Grady, correspondence
adviser to the Secretary of Agricul-
ture and expert on Government

gency Management.
