Excerpt from Training for Foreign Trade Educators throughout the land in ever-increasing numbers have turned to the Department of Commerce for material and advice in teaching the methods and facts concerning foreign trade. The Department, from selfish motives, is keenly interested in bet ter foreign-trade education, although the number of persons employed by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce at home and abroad 18 small as compared with the number that will find private employment in our national foreign commerce. It is constantly brought to our attention in selecting men that education and train ing of this nature is absolutely essential, either before or after enter ing the service Of the Department. Encouragement of education and vocational training for foreign trade is therefore distinctly a function of this Department. To stimulate this education is the purpose, in its larger aspect, of the cooperative plans of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, and the United States Shipping Board. This educational movement was initiated by Bulletin 24, Commercial Series No. 2, on Education for For eigh Trade and Shipping, written by the authors of this pamphlet and published by the Federal Board for Vocational Education in the fall of 1918. Many educational and commercial institutions have already put its suggestions into actual practice with success. This bulletin, now revised and enlarged, is prepared to meet the needs of those who organize and instruct classes, by assembling, systematizing, and organizing literature of foreign trade with ref erence to the best methods for instruction in the technique and character of our foreign commerce.
