The world is expected TO pause in
SORROW over the dreadful calamity
that has befalIen humanity in the
West Indies while the wise men
draw their deductions as to cause
and effect. just now. however. there
* a wide difference of scientific
thought on the subject of volcanic
disturbances. While we are told on
one hand that eruptions of this ma
ture cannot be foretOld. there are
those who say that there are abund-
ant means that appeal to the intelli-
gent mind Of fixing in advance just
about when they are likely, and one
scientist has gone so far as to fix a
date in June when Mount Pelee will
again belch forth death. The public
is not now so much interested in why
and wherefore as in what has occur
red and in relieving those who have
passed through the disaster.

Training for Business.

The University of Illinois has just
issued n circular describing its new
courses of training for business. In
the opening paragraphs of the circu-
lar the university authorities state
their belief that modern conditions
make il necessary for those who
would be successful in business 10
have special training. The new work
is an attempt on the part of the uni
versity to offer college course which
will furnish this special training.
These courses are planned 10 furnish
general training for business. training
for banking, for service in railway
offices. for journalism. and for insur-
lance. Students in all of these courses
must take certain amount of work
in mathematics. English and foreign
languages, commercial geography.
English and American economic his
tory. principles of economics, ele-
ments of commercial law. and bust
ness correspondence. After doing
this work they select courses specif-
ically adapted 10 their own purposes.
The work i'm all the courses is so
arranged that most of it can be TAX
III tOuTStS lot
the bachelors degree. Provision is
made. however, for postgraduate
work. and students are advised TO
take this when they can. Opportun-
tiles for graduate work in economics.
both theoretical and applied, in his
tory and the political sciences. are of
Il high order in the State University.
and show marked development in the
last few years.
One noticeable feature of the new
courses is the requirement in what is
called mechanical technology. Every
student who takes any one of these
courses must learn something of the
modern methods of generation and
transmission of power. These are not
mechanical courses. but are intended
TO give such general knowledge of the
subjects as every well educated man
today should have.
The training offered by such
courses of study as are described in
the circular is certainly of as high
grade Internationally as that of the
old-fashioned college or university
course. The work offered in these
courses furnish Il liberal education as
truly as does that of the old classical
courses; for liberal education is one
that brings students into touch with
the civilization and life of their age.

spain,s Great Statesman.

Senior Praxades MateO Sagasta. the
Spanish premier. has completely
broken down in health. His malady
is catarrh of the stomach, and be-
sides that his hard life of political
anxiety and activity has tended to
shorten his days. He is II years old.
Forty-eight years ago he was elected
TO the cortes and almost at once he
became conspicuous. He has been a
leader ever since The story of his
life would be vivid history of Spain
for the last half century. Poor Spain,
suffering under the curse of popular
ignorance: ever i'm financial strIits;
geographically placed so as to be un-
important from Il stragetic stand
point and hence regarded with indif-
ference by the powers of the world.
poor Spain has crumbled from mis-
tress of the world to a fourth-rate
power. The country is oveFrun with
political agitatOrs and these are con-
stantly forming new combinations to
embarrass the government. There
are the Carlists and their reverend
ing claims to the throne, and the re-
publicans. who have been able to
seize the government but not to hold
it.
With his only foothold the quick
sand of a tickle and ignorant people,
Sagasta has averted crises and ward
ed off threatened catastrophies with
out number. Time and again he has
rescued Spain from danger and hui
initiation. but he has lived and work
ed over a political volcano all his life.
When the little King Alfonso was
born his father had been dead several
months and Spain was in chaos. Sa-
gasta, then i'm his prime. was in a po-
sition to seize the government and
administer it. To have done so
would have been to wipe out the Carl
lists and tie friends of the reigning
house: il would have won the repub-
licans; it would have given Sagasta.
