THE GOVERNMENT SERVICES.

In printing the editorial referred to in Mr. Grew's letter from Berlin, the CRIMSON was attempting to express the interest which certain College men had shown in regard to the Government services. If our belief that employment in them was not permanent was wrong, as it seems to have been, it was only, because that belief was prevalent.

To help in correcting the impression which so many have had of the Diplomatic and Consular Services, we should like to add, regarding the latter, that the popular idea that it can be entered only examination is false. A college graduate can go directly not the clerical staff of the Service without preliminary examinations and loan work from there to the official staff. The Government, moreover, is very desirous of getting more college men into this department, which makes it even worth while for those who have ever considered its possibilities to learn, its details by inquiry at the Employment Office.
