THE KEYNOTE OF BUSINESS.
A Concentration of Energies Necessary in
Modern Enterprises.

Modern Enterprises
Capitalization is the keynote or all
successful modern business. 1t requires
an absorbing devotion and concentration
of energies in one direction TO carry
prosperous ending. A shining example OF
what can be accomplished in this dlrec-
ton among the dry-goods houses OF hich-
mond is the new house OF Temple. Pember-
ton. Cordes & Co. Although only few
years in business. they have gained the
confidence and esteem OF the majority OF
the Richmond trade, and not only OF the
Richmond people, but by their efforts they
have pushed their business throughout
and beyond the borders of Virginia. when
they started in business they realized the
fact that there was room In Richmond
for frst-class exclusively dry-goods
house.
with ample means at their command
they have presented for their patrons
selection such stock Of dry-goods and no
tons as can only be found in the larger
and better class of New York houses.
This spring they have outdone all pre-
vious efforts. Their shelves ana couh-
tiers are loaded with n bewildering array
OF the best goods foreign or domestic
looms produce. and II goes without say
ing that their prices are as low as the
lowest, as their ever-ncreasing trade
demonstrates. Each individual. MEMBER
of the firm enjoys the confidence ana
esteem of all who know. and their word
Is guarantee of good faith ana rair
dealing. They have In their employ
Mrge force OF very competent salespeo-
pie. and buyers are under the persohai
supervision OF members OF the firm.
Their motto is. Only the best, and TINS
not only In regard TO quality and style.
but applies also to price. We can see that
their already commodious quarters are
getting too small for the demand OF their
growing trade.

eXaminutiou
The ecretary's suggestions seemed
to man in his time, startling and rcvo-
lutionary. Even now To conservative
minds they would appear subversive
of the old order, There is scarcely
flower of the New Education whose
seeds have not been scattered by Hor'
ace Mann In his Sixth Report he an
ticipated Herbert Spencer's essay
What Knowledge is of Most Worth"
The true relation of sense perception
to all teaching worthy of the name,
the recognition of activity as the law
of childhood, the almost boundlcss
possibilities in geography well taught,
the need of complete literary works
instead of detached fragments for
school readers, the unilication of for
NAL and nature studies-all these are
clearly set forth in the educational
classics, his Annual Reports. He saw
that the mere ability to read and write
would do little good to the child who
had received no training in morals.
''The sentiments and passions" said
he, get more lessons than the intel
lect' and he insisted that neither kind
of lessons should be left to chance. He
saw that only as desire is awakened in
the mind of the child can that mind
acquire any real knowledge, that the
drill. sergeant is not the ideal teacher.
Thus he presented the Doctrine of ln-
terest, but without the use of the capi-
tai l.
We may almost claim him among the
founders of an American kindergarten,
since among his eighty thousand school
sand who were less than four years of
age.
In one of his reports he presents ar
guments to prove that compulsory ed
ucation is not inconsistent with the
highest political freedom.
His Seventh Report ought to be re-
published. His impressions of the
schools he visited in Europe, even after
the lapse of fifty years, are as sugges-
tiye as when they were first written.
Horace Mann lived to see normal
schools, teachers institutes and educa
tional conventions made, through his
influence, an important part Of sys-
tenn in his own state, and adopted in
many others. He saw town after town
grade their classes and found a high
school. New and better buildings,
constructed with some thought for the
health and comfort of the pupils, gave
substantial proof that he had awaken
ed the public conscience. IN these
buildings, black boards and other new
appliances were found. Under his de
rcctiou The members of The State Board
read and carefully selected books
which they thought worthy OF place
