 Originality has characterized hIs every movement. ana success crowned his every effort. He began by disAard- ing the listfess. llfsless methods of teaching bookkeeping by mere copy methods, and substituted actual busi- ness practices: Study was no longer sA burden, but a pleasure; sptritless f1ake-b believe book-keepIhg was sup planted by real, vital accounting. and inusty methods gave way to lucid, logi- cal, practical demonstrations Of mod ern methods in the science of accounts. The results were little lass than magi- cal. Instead of drudging for many months through incoinprenensibl de- tails, the student entered at once upon actual book keeping, so that now one can accomplish more in one month un- der the Dfaughoh system Of teaching book keeping than can be accomplished in three months nuder the systems taught in other business colleges.

Its aims, methods and re- sults are frankly different from those of the older or classical type of college education. Its object is not to give culture alone. which, charming ana rood as 1t Is. has been descrfbeu by one as being often selfish luxury, pro ducing men who retire into their eie- kant pursuits and give themselves to self-cuIture with no further object On the contrary the aim of the new edu- cation. openly avowed, is to dignity la bor. and fit men for the practical bus hess of life. It does not disparage the educational value of the classics. or the humanities as they are called, which treat of man and his ways; but 1t ac- centuates the value of the natural sciences that treats of things and their forces. and their immense value for the comfort and the grace of human life.
