H., pu.,., largely training
schools for the
ministry. The course of study related
to those subjects presumed TO be of
special interest and value to the clergy.
AS the professions of law and medicine
developed and took higher rank they
proved peculiarly attractive to young
men and majority of college graduates
entered professional life. Now the over
crowded condition of the so called pro.
fessions has caused young men of am
bition and energy to seek successful
careers in other lines.
The modern era of consolidation, the
bringing together of vast capitals under
co,s.,,,..,. single manage
Consolidation ment, increases
rather than lessons the demand for intelli-
gent young men. AS industrial organiza-
tion progresses and becomes more COM
plex the demand for trained minds is en-
larged and this increased demand for
brains should increase the demand for
the product of our universities, that is,
providing the product is properly finished
and put upon the market in an attractive
and useful form. The mind must be
trained and not unframed for CONNER
cial pursuits. The stern question put to
the college graduate by the business man
is not, what have you studied? but what
can you do? AS the faculties of our
universities yielded to the supposed re-
quirements of the professions in train.
ing young men for professional life, so
now they should give heed to the neces-
stiles Of the commercial world in the
preparation of young men for industrial
activities.
Our commerce is no longer confined
to the boundaries of our own country
but is world wide.
Many industrial
enterprises organized in the United
States are represented in nearly every
civilized country. This means increased
opportunities for employment as man.
ayers or clerks in foreign territory. But
for these positions a knowledge of the
language of the country is essential.
How few of the young men from our
universities are competent for this work?
Simply because German, French, Italian
and Spanish are studied as an accom-
plishment rather than for use. In our
great manufacturing establishments
chemists and other scientific specialists
are required. How lily prepared the
average graduate is for these positions
those in charge of such enterprises can
testify. Would it materially detract
from the merit of chemistry as brain
refner. if, in addition to the aesthetic
purpose, it were taught with view to it's
practical application in the laboratories
of the business world This is the problem

prepare one for the activities or life, to
teach how to live, not in q narrow,
but in broad and liberal conception of
the word. What is it that most contrib
utes to this end? Or what knowledge
is of the most worth? Herbert Spencer
says it is that knowledge which directly
contributes to self-protection and self
maintenance. The accumulation of
those objects essential to elf-protection
and preservation precedes then, the
acquisition of that which charms only
the aesthetic nature. Tt is a positive
evil to cultivate desire and an undue
appreciation of pleas objects un
less with it is obtained that knowl-
edge which will make their acquisition
possible and afford opportunities for
their enjoyment. One must be fed,
clothed, and housed before he may enjoy
the beauties of art. Moments of leisure
are essential for the pursuit of those OBJ.
jects and studies which develop the
finer nature and this leisure is only
possible after the accumulation of the
necessities.
Therefore that knowledge, which fits
one for the industrial activities of life,
for some one of
the many depart
ments of the worlds commerce or
business, is of primary Importance.
While that which prepares one for the
enjoyment of those things which are
obtainable only after successful bust
ness or commercial career, is secondary
Judged by this standard have our COL
leges and universities trained men chow
to live?" Is it not true, to use homely
figure, that we have placed the cart be-
fore the horse? Have we not in the ar.
rangement of our college curricula
placed secondary subjects before primary
ones? Have we not, as suggested by
Spencer, sacrificed the useful to the
ornamental? Have we not clothed our
minds as the savage clothes his body,
more for decoration than comfort or use
Let it be admitted that many subjects
contribute to give one polish and ele-
gance of manners, but that does not
justify their acquisition at the expense
of things of vital Importance. "As
they occupy the leisure part of life," to
use the terse language of Spencer, " SO
should they occupy the leisure part OF
education"
1t has become a trite saying among
business men that, "The college educa
ton units rather
than fits men fol
affairs" In commercial life, rigid dis
cipline, thoroughness, and careful at.
tention to details are required. The
training afforded in many of our univer
sites makes impossible the acquisition

the institution than the faculty and re-
gents. Possessed of this very erroneous
idea he enters the business world, not so
much with the idea of working for his
employer as to act as confidential
adviser and show him how to run his
business. And it frequently happens,
that too much freedom is permitted in
the choice of subjects and in attendance
at lectures. AS consequence the
student takes those things he likes best
without regard to their value. And
often his likes are determined by the
ease with which the subject may be
mastered. In the event of an error in
judgment and the selection Of some
thing more difficult than intended he is
apt to make lightning change to sub
ject more promising in point of facility
of requirement. He is thus encouraged
in habits of vacillation, difficult to over
come. He leaves the university with
little knowledge about each of variety
of subjects but with complete learning in
none.
Mr.. Chas. r. Flint, who is recognized
as one of the foremost industrial leaders
of the country, has
had wide expert
ence in the employment of young men
| from the universities. For this reason
his opinion on this subject is of special
weight. In recent paper, read before
the Outlook Club of Mont Clair, New
Jersey, he discussed the subject: lis a
College Education Advisable as Prepar
alton for Business Career?" and among
other, made this interesting observa-
tion:
"While much depends on the youth,
much depends on the college. In some
colleges, judging from the young men
who enter our offices, infer that the
discipline is lax. Many of our educa-
tional institutions seem to have gotten
two far away from the system of discip-
line that does so much for the cadets at
Annapolis and West Point am in
formed that in many of our colleges a
young man may study what he wishes,
} may attend lectures when he likes, and
may play when he pleases. He spends
his time under conditions that present
the most violent contrast to the condi-
tions he must face when he enters busi
ness. In the counting room punctuality
and application are demanded as matters,
not of election, but of necessity. The
shock that comes with the transition
from the easy going methods of college
life to the stern rules of a business
office, is very apt to prove irksome and
unendurable. It too often breeds dis
content, and kills interest. The young
man finds he cannot do as he elects, but
must do as he is told. He pays sharply
the penalty for system, under which,

says, he is permitted in college to float

To Punish Assassin,

A dispatch from Frankfort, Ky,
says as result Of a conference Of the
Democratic legislators on the proposed
reward bill a substitute for SIN .tor
Fergusou's bill was drafted. The new
measure provides for the election Of
6ve commissioners. viz: John Z.
Hendrick Joseph II. Lewis, John D.
Clark, William NJ. Moore aud B. W.
Bradburn, to have charge Of a fund of
$l00 900 appropriated out Of the state
treasury and to expsnd so much there
of as they deem necessary to apprehend
and convict the assassin of Governor
William Goebel aud co1spirators re-
spousible for the act Of the assassin.
1t provided that not exceeding Sl5,U0O
be voted to the preliminary work f,he
commission. The commissioners shall
offer out of the fund whatever reward
they deem necessary for the apprehen-
sion Of the assassin, and each c6nspira,or.
The bill provides that not cent of the
fund shall be used in the employment
of counsel and that DO order expending
money shall be valid except by the
unanimous consent Of the conmls-
siouers,

trusts, and that tue nation is becoming
weak and bloodless under the burden.
But they also know that Mr.. Hanna
expects to get twenty-five million dol
lars from tue trusts to be used in keep
ing the administration in power. The
attorney general refuses to enforce the
antitrust law, and the president will
not compel him to do it The resul,
of my investigation in New York and
the middle west during the past few
weeks is firm conviction that for the
first time the country is aroused to the
real peril to Republican forul Of gov
ernuent arising from the trust system,
which Mr.. Hanna SAYS is good thing!
This is the supreme Democratic issue.
No leader or combination of leaders
can increase It's power OF importance.
It is changing votes every hour. There
may be difference of opinion regard
ing legislation on the subject, but every
man have met seeus 10 understand
that with a president and cabinet free
from the control Of the trusts, the coun
try has better chance to strike at he
giant crimes Of the trusts than is posi-
bic when the president and the cabinet
place the whole power of the govern
ment behind the criminal combinations.

The first trade to follow the fag in
the East. it appears, is the liquor trade.
The Chicago Chronicle reports: ''rhe
trade in strong drink has outstripped
all other lines of American commercial
enterprise in Manila. There were but
three saloons in the city when the first
American troops arrived; now there are
four hundred. If one picks up an
American paper published atthe metro

practically all the advertisements set

What they Heed.

In his speech in the House on the
Porto Rican tariff bill Mr. Swanson, OF
Virginia, ''araued the injustice of per-
mitiing the 800 0OO tons of sugar in
Hawaii to be admitted free of duty,
while at the same time the bill imposes
heavy customs duty upon the 6O, 600
tons Of sugar from Porto Rico; that
the difference 10 this treatment resulted
from the fact that the sugar interest of
Hawaii was owned by few million
aires, while that Of Porto Rico was
owned by several thousand small farm
ers." The Porto Ricans should get
some of the trusts interested in their
products. They would have no more
trouble then, except, Of course, to pay
the trusts for their services. and

Tried to Walk q Trestle,

horse Wednesday, which had fatal
ending for the horse. The animal, a
6ue gray, owned by Mr. J. j. Thur
mond, was turned loose and was grazing
near the railroad trestle at Hawks gul-
ly. This treslle is about thirty feet
high and a hundred feet l3ng. The
rails are laid on sawed trestle ties, about
foot apart, and without plank run
ming lengthWise between the rails. The
horse started to walk across this trestle
and actually made about one third the
distance safely Here he made mis-.
step and slipped through the ties,
breaking two of his legs. 1t vas neces
