THE GRADUATES.

An army of young men have received theiI
degrees within the last week from various col
leges, and go forth with high hopes of useful
ness and honor. They do not always meet with
the instant success which they are sure to think
their years of training should insure Indeed,
the college graduate so often proves unfit at
first for the work he undertakes that it was
only recently declared, in public statements by
many successful business men, that a college
education did not in their judgment help man
in business life. Others, perhaps less numerous,
had a contrary opinion, believing that in the
end college training Helped in business as in
any other avoCation.
The young graduates and their critics arc both
likely to be mistaken as to the purpose and
meaning of college training. 1t is not a prepa-
ration for the church, the bar, or for medicine,
because either of these avocations requires some
years of additional and special training. Neither
is it preparation for life as an engineer, sci
enlist, an instructor: 10 succeed in every such
capacity further years OF training are necessary.
Why should anybody imagine that for business
life alone the college graduate has obtained a
complete education? The truth is that he needs
especial training for success in that as in any
OuhCl culp!OyHcHl ne college, lbs only ldlu
a foundation. Upon that he has yet to build
whatever sort of structure he chooses. The
blunder so often made by graduates and By
critics springs from careless phrases, such as
He was educated at Yale" or "IIe has COM
pleted his education" and the like The edu-
cation has not been completed. 1t is as vet
only preparation for the especial education
that any chosen employment will require.
The superficial critic sometimes answers {:
Then it is of no use; the young man AaS his
business yet TO learn, and he has wasted the
best years for learning in the requirement of
knowledge that will be of no use to him in
business" But that is not the fact. The boy
Of sixteen who gees into business house and
spends four years at Its training will indeed

A GREAT JEWISH PHILANTHROPIST.

Baron de Hirsch's project for alleviating the
sufferingS of the exiled Russian Jews has been
watched in this country with profound interest
by Jew and Gentle alike. The present des-
potic oppression of the chosen race in Russia
is so Numerically opposed to Western ideas
that its champions have been unusually numer-
! Gus and outspoken, and in establishing a fund
for aiding the distressed victims the Baron has
only acted in conformity with the desires Of
every humane and enlightened Christian. His
methods of applying the fund have, however,
called forth some criticism. The article in
The North American Review for July in
which he succncty sets forth his ideas is there
fore particularly timely and forms a fitting
cOrOllary to the series on the "Obligations of
Wealth " contributed by eminent philanthro-
pists of the Western World.
In this paper, Enthusiastically short and
pointed, NJ. de Hirsch displays a remarkable
concurrence with such men as Mr.. Carnegie in
his notion of the management of fortune
"There is in my opinion" he says, ono posi-
bility for doubt that the possession of great
wealth lays duty upon the posseSSOr." What
an advance in moral enlightenment these words
signify They show, not only that the thick
crust of Old-World conservatism which formerly
seemed inseparable from property has been
broken through, but that protesting Hebrews
are acting in prasewOrthy obedience to what
we consider the peculiarly characteristic tenets
of Christianity. This, indeed, has previously
received abundant exemplifcation in the case
of Sir Moses Montefore and other conspcuously
benevolent Jews. Nevertheless. it has re-
NAMED for ". de IIirsch to acknowledge
specific sense of obligation and the confession
reflects no less lustre on him personally than
|. on the people he so worthily represents For
centuries the Jewish disposition to help Jews
has been proverbial. Although the stress of the
Russian exodus seems TO have tested their ca
pacity severely, yet it is known that this par
ticuar philanthropist never stops to ask whether
a cry for aid emanateS from coreligionist or
not. Like Diderot he relieves Suffering HUI

lie to earn their own living as tlers of the

benevOence The Jews are often unreason-
ably blamed for refusing to earn their living
by the sweat of their brow" In this country
and in England, where prejudice against them
is virtually extinct, they tend Enthusiastically to

The Marine Bank failure was far more disastrous
TO depositors and the business community at
large than the temporary suspension Of the banks
wrecked by Simmons, Pell, and their associates,
but the operations of the later Spectators have
been more severely punished. James d. Fish,
the president Of the Marine Bank, was the only
person directly punished for its failure, the con-
viction of Ferdinand Ward being on an outside
transaction. Simmons, Pell and Claassen have
all now been tried, convicted and sentenced to
long terms OF Imprisonment. Such examples of
sure, if slow, justice should deter bank-wreclers
in the future from attempting their operations in
this city.
