the Thomas Y. CroWeu & Co, New
y ork. 1t is called Great Riches" 1t
is in the attitude of calm inquiry and
quiet judgment that President Eliot of
Harvard studies this nrOh1pT1 n
Great Riches" He notes the Obliga-
tons as well as the powers Of the
moneyed class; the praise which is due
the creators of honest wealth: and the
need Of publicity as a safeguard to
business. Finally his tone is optimis-
tic. 1T IS quite unnecessary he says,
'fto feel alarm about the rise of per-
1nanent class of very rich people. To
transmit great estates is hard. They
get divided or dispersed. With rarest
exceptions the rich men of today are
not the sons Of the rich men of thirty
years ago, but are new men. 1T Will be
the same thirty years hence" The
book contains many terse, quotable
sentences.
