GFPGRTUNITIES FDR EDU
CATION AT WASHINGTON
Washington, Nov. 5. To the
young man or woman who seeks to
obtain a college degree and a live
lihood at the same time, no city in
the country offers an opportunity
more attractive than that to be found
in the national capital. The sever
al universities at Washington pro
vide evening classes with hours ar
ranged conveniently for Government
employees, who ordinarily complete
their day's work at half past four
and all libraries, including the Li
brary of Congress, are open at
night.
For years thousands of young peo
pie have entered the civil service at
Washington with the main idea of
devoting three or four years to equip
ping themselves for a professional
or scientific career while supporting
themselves. Many of the young men
live at fraternity houses, coopera
tively conducted, thereby lessening
the living expense and also securing
a place where they can entertain
their friends.
In addition to the university
courses, the Young Men's Christian
association and private schools con
duct evening classes in technics, lan
guage, accountancy, stenography and
typewriting,- and the usual high
school studies.
Notwithstanding the drafts for
military service, practically all of
the schools in Washington showr an
increased enrollment this year. This
is due to the great influx incident to
the war. -Ten or - twelve thousand
new clerks and other emploj'ees have
been appointed in the departments
and his great civilian army is be
ing added to daily. Stenographers
and typewriters and mechnnical
draftsmen for the service generally,
and what are known as schedule
clerks, index and catalog clerks, and
clerks qualified in statistics or ac
counting, as "well as clerks qualified
in business administration for the
office of the Ordnance department of
the Army are in demand.
The representatives of the Federal
civil service commission at the post
offices in all cities are receiving num
erous inquiries from persons who
wish to be at the seat of govern
ment at this time of big events and
to have a part in the actual admin
istration of the Government's great
business. ' Women are finding in this
office work an opportunity to "do
their bit" in a very practical way.
