Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from American Institute of Civics, Register of Its National Body of Councilors, 1900: Including Faculty Associates in Higher Institutions of Learning and National Corps of Lecturers
There is no diplomatic service of the United States. There is a diplomatic establishment. The Government appoints Ministers from time to time to given parts. These appointments are made from the ranks of our citizenship, but not from a body of men constituting a service.
The European Governments select young men for their diplomatic Services, as signing them to duty first in their foreign offices or legations and promoting them step by step for merit. In other words, they adhere practically to the methods which we follow in our Naval and Military services. Our plan permits each President to name whomsoever he pleases for the highest as well as the lowest places, the choice being made usually without regard to prior service.
