TOO SPECIALIZED
Augustana Professor Says HUI.
manityis Becoming Race
of Monstrosities.
TENDENCY Is LIMITATION
People Fail to Develop All of Facul
ties, and Do Not Examine
the Other Side.

'The Other Side of the Question"
ture by Professor A. w Kjellstrand
before the Adelphic society OF Angus
tana college, last night. Professor
Kjellstrand held that the modern age
is fostering a narrow minded and one
sided policy in the tendency toward
specialization. in all fields of human
thought and effort The views of men.
the speaker declared, should be broad
eried instead of narrowed.
MANY people of our day said Pro
fessor Kjellstrand, are afflicted VITA
a certain narrow-minded conservatism
which makes it impossible for them to
look upon any of LIES phenomena
from any other point of view than that
which their great-great-grand
considered the right one. With their
faces turned to the days of hoary an
tiquity with all it's antipathies and
superstitions. and with their backs
turned to the future of hope and
achievement, such persons believe that
all who pass them by are going down,
not up; backward. not forward along
the pathway of life.
The tendency of our times seems
in many respects to lean toward 4 one
sidedness. The desperate struggle and
cumpetitiOn among all classes Of so
ciety and within every sphere of
human effort seems to drive man with
a compelling force in this direction.
Our age is, therefore. an age of spe-
Cialists. A certain natural bent or apt
itude is fOstered and developed at the
expense of all other talents to such an
extent that if this tendency continues,
he who lives 1000 years from now
will see monstrous sight indeed
Race of MonstroSities.
"One has so developed his intellect
that he is all head, with scarcely
enough body for the necessities of life.
AnOther's right arm is larger than his
left. A third is all ear. y fourth is
all eye 4 fifth has the body of a
giant, but his head is only as large as
fair-sized goose egg. In a word, hui
mainly has developed into a race Of
monstrositiesi' ,-...a-... --.-.--..--.
"The specialization tendency" said
the speaker. lis more apparent in the
medical field than in any other pro

Enormous Expansion in Loans
Last Two Weeks Is Shown
in Statements.
THE SURPLUS is DECREASED
Shifting of Funds from Out-of-
Town Institutions to Local
Banks Explains Change.

NEW YORK, April 21-Further re-
markable increases in the loan and de-
posit accounts OF the Clearing House
banks were shown In the weekly bank
statement yesterday. The increase in
loans as reported yesterday amounted
$26,501, 500 These increases. coming
n week after the phenomenal and rec
ord breaking increases in the two ac-
counts last week, furnished an inter-
esting topic OF conversation yesterday
as to the sources and causes OF the
changes. 1t will be recalled that the
bank statement last week showed an
increase in loans Of s3s,9ss. 600 and de-
posts increased to the extent of $751;
$4,000. The increases in these two
items for fortnight have amounted
to $4,000. 900 in loans and s7l,50o,o0o
In deposits, showing which has
never been equaled.
Not Yet Explained.
Excepting the payments on the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company bond underwriting, which in
volved s30,000,000, there was no i'm
portant corporate financing during the
week which might explain the contin-
uance of the expansion in both loans
and deposits. In the previous week
the payments OF 40 per cent. on the
100000 Great Northern stock issue
was used as basis OF explanation for
the enormous expansion recorded last
week. but there was reservation by
the leading banking element that these
two factors would not necessarily
create the big increases in loans and
deposits. The theory which finds most
favor in banking circles explaining the
expansion is that out-of-town banks,
as well as trust companies here. are
depositing their funds with the Clear
inghouse banks. and In this way
loans which were heretofore not count
ed in the loans OF the Clearing House
are, now made to show in the weekly
statements Of the members. This pro-
cess of shifting usually occurs when
money rates ease to figures which have
lately prevailed.
So far az the movements OF cash
are concerned, the preliminary esti-
mates were proved to be fairly accu-
rate in the statement published yes
terday. The gain in cash reported
amounted to $2,477,30o. Owing to the
increases in deposits however, the re-
serve requirements were S6.625,400
larger. SO that the statement of condi
ton yesterday showed a decrease in
the surplus reserve OF $4.14S.100. This
brings the reserve down to s1l,704,-
SIS.
1t will be recalled that the banks
made a special effort last year to i'm
prove their condition following the
San Francisco disaster, and the sur
plus reserve shown at this time a year
ago stood at s16,366,T25. Two years
ago the surplus reserve amounted to
s11.44S,050.
Practically all the leading banks
showed increases In loans for the week.
The First National, however. exceeded
all others by reporting an increase OF
S10.466, 400. The Mercantile National
reported Sdeposts of s16.4l2,60O and
cash reserve of s4,37e,1 100. or per-
centage of 1855 reserve.
