Chautauqua, July 24-Rainy weather has inter
fertd with some parts Of the Chautauqua programme,
but It has prevented the visiting members Of the
business Educators Association from pushing for
ward encrgcticaIly the work Of their twelfth annual
convention. Al 8 this morning they assembled in
the shorthand school, aud the session ascd until late
this afternoon. Professor E. X. FELTON,, Of Clcvo-
land called She meeting to order and made brief but
appropriate opening address.
"Oug worl," he said. Is to consult with each
other rs b. present methods Of teaching and TO discuss
new IDEAS How TO secure the greatest efficiency and
to eliminate the crudtcs which time exposes in the
management of our colleges Is problem calling for
the exercise Of sound Judgment and ripe experience
We no longer act ~ sCavenecrs the ordinary col
leges Indeed think the business educator To be at the
front of his profession, be harder student and
closer observer Of current events than the college pro
lessor or tutor The augmented volume Of busl-
ness within the last decade renders impossible inc
employment Of methods and appliances which were
formerly deemed adequate to all demands. Cash
registers and cash railways have appeared and with
them We have had to improve our own IDEAS 10
qualify young for life OF business acur!ty we
must not only teach him boohke ,png and arithmetic
we must teach him puncuality, ncatncs' OF dress ana
of person. and the value of sclfrehance and lnde-
pcndcnce of thought and action. / do not believe
there are any schools IN which greater oppoHuhlile9
exist than IN ours for moulding the Character anu
shaping the destiny Of the youth Of cur time ana tA'
