EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS AT 

 WASHINGTON 



One of my first impressions when I 

 joined the Federal Bureau of Education at 

 Washington, in the summer of 1906, was 

 that of the cooperative friendliness of the 

 various executive offices with which I had 

 to do. Every door was open. My new- 

 found colleagues in the Department of the 

 Interior and its other bureaus, the higher 

 officials of three or four other departments, 

 with whom the business of my office soon 

 brought me into contact, the public printer, 

 the civil-service commissioners, the director 

 of the census, officials of the Smithsonian 

 Institution, the librarian of Congress, the 

 White House staff, and the President him- 

 self^ — all were not only easy of access, but 

 were prompt to welcome the newcomer and 

 to lend him a helping hand.
