The Rothschild System

1t IS a great mistake, says an
exchange, to suppose that the great
Rothschild firm of financiers has
risen to its present great eminence
through mere transmission of the
money-making instinct. AS mat
ter of fact, when a Rothsehild rea-
ches the age for entering business
he Is put through thorough APP
premiership. If he shows no talent
for finance, he is pensioned Off
paid to keep out of the business, one
might say. On the other hand, he
is advanced in even proportion to
whatever ability he may show
Rigid observance of this system has
kept the Rothschild wealth and
strength unimpaired to this day.

taches to the arrival on the Oceanic OF
G. r. Parkin. president of the College
of Upper Canada. Toronto, who has been
entrusted with the details OF organizing
a system for the selection of English
speaking young men who are to receive
the 200 scholarships Of 81 500 each year
endowed by Cecil Rhodes. Mr.. Parkin
also has suggested that it would be
good plan for some wealthy American
or group of Americans to establish a
fund for the education of 100 young ma1
of Great Britain in the universities of
the United States. He had several con-
ferences with J. p. Morgan on the way
over, and the fnancier is said to be
much interested, not only in the Cecil
Rhodes scholarships. but in the plan
which Mr.. Parkin proposes for recipro-
eating the offers made under the will of
the South African leader.
Mr.. Parkin said that his object in
coming to this country was to visit var
ious seats of learning. and to talk with
educators and men of affairs Under
the provisions of the will OF Mr.. Rhodes
each state and territory in the United
States is to have a scholarship. Mr.. Per-
kin will arrange for competitive exami-
nations or some such means for select
ing those who are to receive scholar
ships. He win then visit Canada the
West Indies and the Australian and Az
rican colonies.
