Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 2l.-The dis
cussion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of ally
ing Harvard university and the Massa-
chusetts Institute of Technology in
certain branches of their work has
brought out very strikingly the fact
that educational institutions are be-
coming more and more business con-
Germs. Nowadays ability to conduct
a college is supposed to include some
thing more than book learning in the
old fashioned sense, and the man who
directs a great university must be
more than a scholar, which was once
considered the only qualification neces-
sary. The so-called academic course
has been modified to meet the demand
not only for men who can read Greek
and Latin, solve problems in higher
mathematics, discuss literature and
talk in foreign languages, but for men
whose general intelligence has been
sharpened and who have been taught
to use their faculties beyond the mere
application of classroom and labora-
tory knowledge.
One of the chief supporters Of this
modern idea of education has been
President Charles w. Eliot of Harvard
and the further Harvard progressed
toward turning out men well-trained

ton Of its new system of registration,
adopted methods which are last be-
coming familiar to the business Worll,
and was thus pioneer in the move
ment for simplicity and cleaness in
business accounting. In fact, Mr..
Chamberlain, who is now the manager
OF the New England Audit company,
cas- found his Harvard experience OF
great value i'll working out new sys-
TENS of bookkeeping which he has ORR
ginated, the verlfcation of accounts
and methods Of keeping them.
In present-day industrial conditions
an auditor is quite different sort of a
person from what he used to be. His
work brings before him constantly
comedies and tragedies, romances and
sordid stories of Wrong-doing as much
stranger than the tales told in books
as the truth of the proverb is than fic
ton. That he must first of all be
skilled in the understanding of figures
goes without saying; but further than
that he must have an intuitive under
standing Of men, an almost instructive
jumping to conclusions logged per-
sistence, incorruptibility, and, withal
the tact and gentleness that often
bring confession of things so well con-
cealed that even ON suspicion they can
not be discovered.
An auditor of wide experience will
tell you that the world increases in
honesty, burt that many business
loss is caused not by criminal intent
but by ignorance. There has been
universal change in every branch of
misunderstanding, selling, manufacture
ing, and all the rest-eXcept account
ing. There more than in any depart
n1ent, Old-fashioned methods cling, yet
there is where the large scale OF mod
transactions are carried through now
adays, the close profits and the intri-
cate payroll have most effect. Over
and over again it is found that fall
ing off in profits can be traced to
losses in manufacture, or insufficient
cost allowances, which are so buried
and confused in the intricate extern
sions of old-time account methods
that they escape notice for years, it
may be, until a complete overhauling
of books brings them to light. On
the other hand, the strenuous com
petition of the new century has been
known to lead perfectly Well-intention-
ed officials into seemingly innocent
Misrepresentation of affairs through
the charging of items one one account
when they belonged on another which
there is a temptation to make look

cial failures could be prevented if pre-

Germs misunderstanding it's own bust
ness in these ways cannot be calcu-
lated, burt it is safe to say that it would
be surprisingly large.

ual had it's own card and burt one card.
The cards themselves were OF unusual
size, necessarily, but every item OF a
students account with either dlscl-
plinary or teaching officers could be
entered on the same sheet, both sides
Of which were employed in order to
separate the different kinds of entries.
What had formerly been the most cum
bersome and troublesome work OF the
college office at once became the SIM
plest and easiest, and the plan devised
fifteen years ago is still in use with
very slight notifications, while the
general method has been adopted in
all the large educational institutions
of the country.
So successful did the Introduction
of the business man into student man
agement prove in this particular that
it was given further trial. Mr. Cham
berlain was made secretary OF the
Lawrence scientific school, which is
Harvard's department of training in
theoretical technology, and then OF the
Harvard summer school. Both these
branches of university work were
small at that time, but in ten years
they had grown to twelve or fifteen
times their original size.

1or any prancn OF the worlds business,
as distinguished from one of the pro-
LESSONS, the palmer it became that the
college itself must adopt new methods
In the conduct of it's own affairs.
While it was introducing courses in
finance and banking, for example, it
was keeping its archives in practically
the same old way that has been in
vogue for ESQ years, and with the
growth of the institution, which has
IN it's various departments and schools
more than 5000 young men, there
came a time when an up-to-date bUs1-
ness system for keeping track of them
was imperatively required.
President Eliot appreciated that for
such reorganization OF office machin-
cry as he had in mind the trained busl-
ness man needed, and Montague
Chamberlain, an expert accountant
and commercial organizer, was select
ed Tor the task. Mr.. Chamberlain
not only was not college bred but at
that time he was not even an Amer
lean citizen; in fact, he made his start
III life as messenger boy in a Cana
dian telegraph office. Having taken
UP expert accounting when most lads
OF his age we're going to school, how
ever, and risen by degrees to have
large industrial interests OF his own,
he had a special sort of training that
would enable him to see uefectS in an
academic system which the profess
sional collegian would not be likely to
detect
Mr.. Chamberlain was probably the
first business man to have a share in
the executive administration Of great
university. The wisdom of the policy
that selected such person for the
somewhat peculiar task that was SET
him-primarily the reorganization oil
the method OF keeping the records OF
students-soon appeared. Mr.. Cham
berlain stipulated at the outset that
he should be allowed three months Tor
investigation of the Feasibility of de-
vising such a system as was desired be-
fore taking up the work more perman-
emily; in the end he stayed eleven
years.
When he undertook his work the
newly created recorder, as he was call
ed, found that in order to get at a Har-
ward mans college record it was neces-
sary to search at least ten large vol
umes and to pick out the information
about the individual in question from
the whole mass of statistics. There
were the books covering the entrance
examinations and those for each of
the four years in the regular course
for a degree. If a student went be-
yond that to the graduate school, or
to one of the professional schools, sew
eral more thick tones were added to
those scattered.
These archives, containing the sum-
mary not only of a mans scholarship
but of his behavior, SO far as it con
cerned the college authorities, had to
be referred to constantly, of course,
and the labor involved in their use
was enormous. The inacademic burt
very practical solution Of the difficulty
was little more or less than a huge
card catalogue in which every ind1Vid-

till arise every day, of course; but the
custom of having firm and corporation
accounts gone through by an expert at
least once each year, just as a bank is
periodically examined, is increasing
rapidly 1t is no longer regarded as
a reflection on mans character when
often, but it is held to be as much of a
protection to the individual as to the
interests in his charge, and probably
this spirit of business discretion has
been fostered more by the broadening
OF the accountants profession than by
any other one influence.

NJ MBER KILLED
STILL UNKNOWN

TRINIDAD, Colo, Oct. 29.-At 6
o'clock this evening the number of min
ers killed by the mine explosion yester-
day in Tercio is still indefinite. Local
officials of the Rocky Mountain Coal
and Iron Company declare that so far
as they know there were only twenty
one men in the mine at the time of the
explosion. Reliable miners employed in
the camp say that there were between
thirty and sixty men in the mine.- The
regular force numbered eighty, but it
is said that about thirty of them went
uralization papers preparatory to elec-
ton. The reason the number at work
is not positively known is because the
men are checked off when leaving the
mine instead of when going in. The
number of dead will not be ascertained
until after the mine is thoroughly ex-
plored. The men are foreigners who
had been recently imported to take the
place of strikers. and their names have
not been learned.
Hundreds of other miners from other
camps are working in three-hour shifts
in the effort to reach the bodies, but the
work is slow and extremely dangerous
on account of the formation, the ground
constantly sliding and caving in. Three
bodies, so badly burned and mutilated
as to be unrecognizable, were taken
out at 5 p. m. They were found near
the first air shaft. Most of the other
dead are supposed to be in rooms "A to
30 about 1000 feet farther in the tunnel.
The mine is completely wrecked. A
great fall of rock blocked the entrance,
and it took nearly all day to block up
the pit mouth sufficiently to permit the
rescuers to- venture inside. Almost every
prop has been blown from the inside of
the mine and the whole entry was
blocked by huge rocks. The mine Is on
what is known as a pitching vein and
there is only one entry-a tunnel run
