CLEWS ADVISES PUBLICITY
Prejudice Against Large Corporate
Undertakings Gould Be Dispelled.

In notable address which he was
unable to deliver in person because OF
illness in his family, Henry Clews, the
financial authority, said in part:
OF many improvements that might well
be introduced into our commercial prao-
tice, the one Of primary significance is the
adoption of intelligent methods Of account
ing and auditing by all corporations or
associations Of persons which employ
considerable capital. This need for re-
form and for scientific method is not
confined to any one group Of institutions
or any particular species Of business en-
terprise. u
It will not, however, be sufficient for
our business men merely to revise their
methods along the lines indicated. There
must be added a system Of publicity Of
accounts which shall convey to the in
weston, in sincere and unmistakable
way, every business detail that he has
any right to know. So far as relates to
public companies and their accounts, 1t
would be preferable that the information
should be voluntarily furnished to the
public than that it should be exacted
under forms of law.
There has been a remarkable growth In
the intensity Of prejudice and opposition
displayed toward large corporate under
takings, or trusts. The growth Of a habit
of furnishing such accounts will furnish
fund Of information that will go far
to dispe1 this ignorance and prejudice;
and it will meet growing public de-
mand half way. Fair and open state
ments, too will form the most reliable
safeguard against municipal ownership.
The banking community can do much
toward introducing sounder methods Of
accounting and better business prac-
tice But there Is another factor
that must be considered Of control
ling. Importance This is the prop
er education Of those who are to be-
come our business men.
Mr.. Clews maintained that more
careful scientific accounting and audit
ing would not only reduce bank failures
to minimum, but would lessen the
| danger of loss to banking institutions
from erroneous valuations of the secu-
rity offered fer, loans and unwise dis
| counts. He discussed methods of
making all banking methods as good as
| the best and described expert methods,
| particularly that suggested in a recent
/ address by James H. Eckles. He adj
visad some technical changes in the ma
tional banking system. ss..

Many Left Behind.
At O'Clock the streetcars started
and the fun began-except for the un.
fortunate ones who were left behind.
Some had never been in streetcar and
they were fascinated. Others decided
that the way to show their apprecia.

Finally. the singing, scrambling, noisy
mass OF humanity was unloaded at the
falls.
In five minutes the boys were playing
tag among the trees and splashing in
Minnehaha creek. The girls gathered
in groups and discussed the latest styles
in dolls dresses.
"IW wrassle you,'' shouted one
spindle-legged newsy.
Sure shouted another and they
were rolling down the green sward with

Some of the youngsters were inclined
to be little too frolicsome, but Ensign

Earlier proceedings Of United church on page
Union between the United Norwegian
Lutheran church and the Hauge Nor
Wegian Lutheran synod may not be far
away. Both organizations have signi-
fed desire for union, and as there
is practically no difference between the
two, on doctrine, there seems to be
no obstacle to the amalgamation of
these important branches Of the Nor
Wegian Lutheran church.
The United church today received a
telegram from the Hauge. synod, now in
session at Red Wing, announcing the
appointment Of a committee Of five to
consider the question of uniting with
other Lutheran bodies and expressing
the hope that the United church would
appoint similar committee. President
Dahl expressed pleasure over the re-
ceipt of the telegram and said that
the matter would be referred to the
standing committee on union, with in
structions to meet with the Hauge
synod committee at the first oppor-
tunity.
A Lively Debate.
A lively debate took place over the
BreviK, Of Wadena, MINI, and 6. j.
Edwards of Duluth, MINI, for member
ship in the United church. Both Of
these men have belonged to other Lu-
theran synods and have in some of
their actions been hostile to the United
church, it's affairs and the faculty Of
the theological seminary.
But when it was announced that they
had made apologies and had been for
given, both were admitted to the Uni
ted church.
Sixty-one congregations have been
admitted to- membership in the United
church at this convention thus far.

CLASS DAY EXERCISES.
Delighted Large Number Yesterday AT
ternoon.

The Goddard chapel was we'll filed
yesterday afternoon despite the rain,
and the Class Day exercises were very
much enjoyed by the alumni and friends
Of the school, The stage was decorated
with ferns and flowers, and on the wall
at the back Of the platform were the
class colors Of crimson and gold and the
class motto, "Certum Pete Finem," in
gold letters placed on heart shaped
shield. Beneath the letters were bow
and arrow.

the class, conducted the exercises.
The first number on the programme
was pianoforte solo, Prelude in E

had been offered by the Rev. G. G.
Conner, very interesting and carefully
prepared grafton on Athletics and Edu-
cation was delivered by the class presi-
dent. "As we consider the advancement
of the different lines of education we
see that more attention is being paid
to athletics" said the speaker, CAS- edu-
the common product of the people. He
named as three evils of athletics in
schools, recruiting, paying expenses of
players and the paid coach, all of which
were detrimental" he said, both to the
schools and to boys playing under such
condition"
In speaking of the good in athletic
sports he said athletics are strong
representative of college. If its ath-
letics are good the other branches Of
the school are good. He concluded his
grafton with this assertions "The stu
dent body is now alive to the situation
and will eradicate these evils. There
are other things to be considered besides
victory

given by Martin Eugene Briggs, Of Gran
vile, in his address to the Juniors. It
was a we'll written address. Following
piano solo, "The Butterfly" Lavalee,
by Edwina Halle Lane, Of Montpelier,
the class poem was recited by Miss

ford. The history Of the class was
