others.
Therefore, in the acquisition
of knowledge, comes first and
fundamentally some comprehen-
sion of the Universe. AS a pre-
liminary and an accompaniment
to business training there should
be brief studies of the known
facts, first concerning the uni
verse itself, and secondly, of our
own globe. If one starts in ig-
norance of things which concern,
all life, there will be endless
cropping in the dark. Having
some knowledge of the world in
which he exists-Astronomy-
and of the globe upon which he
lives Geology he must next
know something of the things
round about hirn-Botany and
Chemistry. Then comes the,
even more necessary knowledge
concerning his own body-Phy-
siology; health stands first and
foremost in human acquisitions,
and health will not last long
without knowledge. Lastly some
understanding of his own mind
Psychology.
Do not say that these are the
advanced studies of the univer-
ssjfttMuand that there is no oppor-
nose y for them in a short busi-
a naycourse. They must become

of the business man must ever
remain confused. They enable
one to comprehend; they give;
the mower to see. The time will
soon be here when they will be
recognized as essentials in every
!. education-as preliminary TO al
