FINANCE
By
WILLIAM SHERER,
MANAGER of the New York Clearing
House.

It seems to me that the striking
feature in the financial history of
the limited States for the year 1905
Is the record made by the Clearing
House Association of New York.

attempt TO give a brief explanation

clearing house year, the transactions
in the New York clearing house ag-

10 progress. That is the true
purpose of education, and one OF the
chief features of the present year
has been, as | saw il in England and
upon the Continent last summer.and
as | have seen it revealed in various
ways in the United States, better
understanding of what the funda-
mental purpose of education is.
The Washington times., 1905-12-24


3 the year 1905 has made new
records. The international
commerce will probably ex-
ceed $4,000. .OOO. 600. little more than
one-half of that being represented
by exports from the United States.
The crops as a whole were never
exceeded. and the domestic trade in
volume, in healthfulness, and in the
prompt payment of obligations has
made a new record. But there have
been other developments in the year
1905 which, from one point of view,
are even more impressive than any
which can be represented by statis-
teal figures.
in the fields of education, of di-
plomacy, of finance, and that higher
field which is occupied by those en-
gagged in the work Of religion, there
have been some new and encourag-
ing features showing how sympa-
thetically the advance in thought,
in philanthropy, and in the higher
intellectual activities has kept step
with the advance in material things.
President Nicholas Murray Butler.
of Columbia University, had al op-
portunity during the summer for
personal investigation into the edu-
cationa1 activities of Great Britain
and the continent of Europe He
was there recognized as one or the
foremost American authorities In the
work of education, and possibly the
foremost in the science of pedagogy.
DR.. Butler during the year has
noticed that there is a better under
standing Of the purpose of those who
wish to take the American college
out of the ruts of tradition and stiff
the college serviceable through the
facility with which II accepts and
adopts the changes that are all
about us. DR.. Butler speaks of this
better understanding as one of the
striking developments of the year in
the field of education. Furthermore,
he says that the chief object of real
education is more and more under
stood TO be the proper training OF
the country's youth to bear we'll
their part as citizens of the republic.
Prof. John Bassett Moore, who
was secretary Of the Paris Peace
Commission, and who is the highest
authority upon the history OF Amer
lean diplomacy, speaks of the Rus
sian and japanese Peace Commits
sion that met in this country as not
only the foremost work of diplo-
macy during the year, but also as
illustrating the new and unconven-
tionaI methods which the diplomat
lists have at last adopted. He cites
the meeting Of the commissioners at
Portsmouth. where, without excess
I've formalities or any red-tape pro-
ceedings. these representatives OF
their respective nations met around
table as illustrating the ne"
method of diplomacy. That he re-
CARDS as one of the conspicuous fea-
lures of the year.

RELIGION
By
THE HON. THOMAS L. JAMES
Former United States Post
master General.

Some ten years ago. after a con-
ference with several cIergymen rep
resenting as many denominations. /
was persuaded 10 establish a foun-
dation at Colgate University where
by a series of lectures or sermons
were TO be delivered to the students
Of that institution. My chief pur-
pose in that foundation was TO show
what are the common grounds upon
which all who profess the Christian
faith. whatever be their denomina-

tlement of the vast issues involved.
and settlement. too. upon what. upon
the whole. seemed wholly reasonable
bases. was the method of procedure.
Anyone who reads Macaulay's de-
ecriptiOn of the complicated and
greatly detailed formality of diplo-
matte etiquette, especially in his
descriptions of the ceremonies at
tendant up the treaty of Rhyswick,
must be greatly impressed by the
change that has taken place in the
way of simplifying diplomatic
methods. Then the formalities were
SO excessive that il took six weeks
TO announce with due etiquette ana
ceremonial the death of the King.
Everybody in diplomatic circles was
compelled by etiquette to pretend 10
the profoundest surprise and sorrow
on learning of a fact which every
one had known unofficially six weeks
earlier
When the japanese and Russian
commissioners had arrived in the
United States purely informal and
personal request was made of some
of those who had had part in the
Paris meeting so that it might be
known what formalities. what eti-
quette, was adopted at that gather
ing. And these inquirers were told
that there were no formaliies, and
no other etiquette than that is al
wavs associated with the meeting OF
gentlemen. In 1871. when British
and American commissioners met at
Washington for the purpose or ar
ranging. if possible, a treaty. as they
did draft the great treaty OF WASH
ington. which provided for four dis
tinct arbitrators, it was proposed at
the meeting of the commission that
a president be elected, and one was
in fact named. The commissioner
thus named. however, declined. say
ing that he thought the proceedings
of the commission would be carried
on with greater ease If there we're
no formaIities of that kind. The
suggestion was adopted. and the
members of that greatest commits
sion ever assembled. from the point
of view of the work done, carried
on their business with the utmost
simplicity and with perfect freedom
from technical formalities which had
formerly characterized diplomacy.
When the commissioners appointed
nv the United States and Spain met
in Paris they simply sat around the
table discussing. as board OF d.
rectors do, the proposition that was
before them
That is exactly what was done at
portsmouth. The japanese eommls-
cioners and those who represented
Russia gathered with delightful in
formality around a table, and while
of course there were certain formali-
ties which were essential, neverthe-
less the whole proceeding was free
from the red tape and scrupulous
formality that before were deemed
so essential a part OF diplomacy. IL
Russia and Japan, two nations that
are punctilious in matters OF eti-
ouette. can agree that the best etI-
ouette is that which is the simplest
and that the great questions OF diplo-
macy can be discussed with the sim
plicity which characterizes business
mon who are discussing important
nroblems. then it seems as though
diplomacy between civilized nations
hereafter may have the characters
tics of simplicity and directness.
