TRAINING FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE Recent developments in the field of public administration in the United States (national, state, and local) have enlarged the opportunities for college and university graduates. A number of educational institutions have made special provisions for training students for such positions by offering special courses and special curricula for some classes of positions, and in several cases have established a distinct school for this purpose. This section has been prepared to call attention to the opportunities available in the field of public service and to the facilities now offered at the University of Illinois for training for such positions. Positions in the public service for which college and university training is a useful and often a necessary requirement may be grouped in three main classes: 1. Technical positions requiring training in engineering, agriculture, or in the physical or biological sciences. 2. Positions requiring training in the older professions of law, medicine, and teaching. 3. Administrative positions requiring training in accountancy, economics, law, and public administration.
