DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, BUREAU OF EDUCATION, Washington, August 1, 1917. SIR: I am transmitting for publication as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education a condensed report of the proceedings of the Conference on Training for Foreign Service, held in Washington, December 31, 1915, on my invitation. Because of the timeliness of the matter this should have been printed earlier. The delay was caused by the fact that Dr. Glen Levin Swiggett, the organizing secretary of the conference, upon whom devolved the task of editing its proceedings, has until quite recently been fully occupied with editing and getting through the press the proceedings of the Second Pan American Scientific Congress. In transmitting this manuscript I wish to record my appreciation of Dr. Swiggett's valuable assistance, not only in editing the proceedings, but also in organizing the conference and in preparing its program. Respectfully submitted. The SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR. P. P. CLAXTON, Commissioner. 5 |
