FOREIGN SERVICE

cern Picks Students from Leading
Universities and Colleges for
Practical Courses
,everal years ago the National City
ik of New York established a sys-
x by which 30 or 40 young men are
ked yearly fror 20 of the leading
versities and colleges of the coun-
and placed in the bank's foreign
nch training classes, from which
vacancies in their foreign service
supplied with new men.
the opportunity is afforded a lim-
d number of students and graduates
ominended by selected universities,
prepare for positions of responsi-
fty abroad. These positions have
n created by this bank in its ef-
t to develop a foreign service suit-
.e to the needs of American busi-
ss.
[he development of American for-
'n commerce and its advancement
er the war, in face of the keen com-
;ition which may be expected, de-
tds that American business inter-
s in the foreign foelds be conducted
Americans. Years ago the Eng-
h and Germans recognized the prin-
le that a lasting foreign trade is
>endent upon the exportation of
n fully as much as as the exporta-
n of commercial products and cap-
. Most of all, the development of
erican foreign commerce depends
>n the character and training of the
n who are to carry on the work.,
Bank Needs Young Men.
'ollowing the successful example of
German ad English banks, the
tlional City bank, in the establish-
it of its branches in South Amer-
endeavored to select only young
ericans for its service. The dif-
lty of findingyoung men properly
fed. to fill these positions of re-
nsibility abroad was at once met
the bank's plan.
oung men are needed who are
ling to devote their lives to plac-
American foreign trade on a sub-
ntial basis, who know the language
1 the customs of the country where
y. will be stationed,' who can ac-
re the foreigners' manner of doing
iness and at the same time can re-
i their loyalty to the United States
1 develop American commerce.
.fter investigating the situation
efully the bank decided that it was
essarysto work out certain prac-
il courses of study and to create
it in effect is a school of its own,
the purpose of training young men
ng practical banking lines.
Plan Proes Successful.
'he success of the first two years'
erience in bringing a group of col-
s-trained men into the bank, has
to the continuation of the plan
reby the facilities of the National
f bank may be used in further co-
rating with the various py iver-
es of the country, in fitting young
i for the banking field.
he universities recommend an-
Mly, under some competitive system
will insure the nonination of the
qualified men, three seniors and
e sophomores or juniors to enter
bank's two training classes. The
:t classes will begin about June 20,
7. The selection of men by the
k is based on character, scholar
, personality, practical experience,
personal references. A knovledge
anguages and experience in bank-
receive special consideration.
. is the opinion of the bank that in
ging the men recommended, char-
r and personality should count for
per cent, and university training
practical experience 50 per cent.
,l selections will be made only
n those who have been interviewed
an officer of the bank, either in
v York City or in some other con-

lent place. Allapplications by
higan men for these positions must
presented to Professor George W.
vrie of the economics department,
not to the bank.
Students Apportion Time
tudents accepted by the bank will
ortion their year's time in the fol-
ing ways:
raduates will spend one continu-
year at the bank, beginning on or
ut June 20, 1917. Sophomores will
nd two summer vacations at the
k and the remainder of their train-
course will consist of six months
:he bank immediately after gradua-
n. Juniors will spend one summer
ation at the bank and will com-
te their course by spending nine
aths at the bank immediately after
duation.

with stereoptican views on the "His-
tory of the United States Navy," Wed-
nesday evening in the auditorium of
the Natural Science building.

-\r. H. H. Dow of the Dow Chemical
company will speak at this occasion

A new device for furnishing heat in
a boiler has just been completed by
Prof. S. E. Emswiler of the mechan-
ical engineering department. The in-
novation is being used in connection
with tests on the heat dissipation of
pipes, and consists of a modified form
of electrical heater which can be
placed inside a small boiler.
Owing to the fact that tests are
often conducted in places where it is
either impossiblo or undesirable to
use high steam from other sources,
this small boiler and heater can be
brought into operation on account of
the ease with which it can be trans-
ported and started up.
The final trial of the apparatus is
still in progress, but thus far the re-
sults have been very satisfactory and
there is little doubt that it will be-
come a standard device for testing
raidiators and heating pipes.

AT THE AlIWAt)E.

The first of E. 11. Sothern's pictures,
"The Chattel," will be shown at the
Arcade this afternoon and evening.
Mr. Sothern has agreed to appear in
three Vitagraph pictures, after which
he will retire to private life in Eng-
land, with his wife, Julia Marlowe.
Mr. Sothern will be supported by the
charming English actress, Peggy Hy-
land.
Blake Waring, a financier, buys
Lelia Bard like a painting. She didn't
know it until one night when he
called her his chattel. Then to clear
her name and the name of her father
she pawned her jewels and bought
her freedom.
Touched by this display of inde-
pendence, he sees his wife's sterling
qualities; slashes the priceless paint-
ing, "The Chattel," and replaces it
with a priceless oil painting of his
wife. True love had forged his iron
will.
Dramatic, only as Sothern can make
it, finished as his Shakespeare, "The
Chattel," is dynamically charged with
compelling interest.

A brisk and lively story, sparkling
in its humor and set to music that
fits its spirit and snuggles to its form
with a nicety not often seen in pres-
ent day musical comedies is a good
estimate of the charm of the delight-
ful musical comedy success, "The
Only Girl," for which Victor Herbert
has written some of his finest melodies
to a book that rattles with good fun,
the work of Henry Blossom, will be
the attraction at the Whitney theater.
The company that Joe Weber has
provided is one of unusual excellencej
and contains many fine singers and
comedians in Laura Arnold, Olga Rol-
ler, Adele Hassan, Marion Sitgreaves,
Nettie Velie, Ernest Torrence, Alfred
Fisher, Emanuel A. Turner, Richard
and Bartlett and Frank Coombe.
